1. Remove Unwanted Hair A Few Days Prior.
Nothing can ruin your fake tan more than regrowth or ingrown hairs so if you want to remove unwanted body hair, do it a few days before. Shaving can increase the skins sensitivity and doing it directly before can cause the tan to apply unevenly so one to two days before is best. If you’re someone who prefers waxing than stick with a two to three day gap as it can open up the pores meaning fake tan may seep into the skin, resulting in a blotchy and uneven finish.
2. Exfoliate At-least One Day Before Tanning.
Exfoliating is an essential step in fake tanning, but it has to be done right. For the best results exfoliate no less than one day before applying your fake tanner and avoid using oil-based, highly moisturising scrubs as these can leave a light film over the skin causing tanner to apply unevenly. Instead, use a small amount of water based body wash with an exfoliating glove (Like Australis No Glove, No Love Exfoliating Mitt) and work in small, circular motions.
3. Moisturise, All Day, Every Day.
Everyone knows the importance of moisturising, especially fake tan lovers. Dry skin doesn’t hold tan well, meaning product can cling to dry, flaky patches making it look uneven so moisturising is essential. Make sure to apply a good body lotion 10 to 15 minutes before applying your tan and pay special attention to areas such as the elbows, knees and ankles where skin generally tends to be drier. To help prolong the wear of your tan; make sure to keep skin hydrated by moisturising daily, the more hydrated your skin, the longer the tan will stay put.
4. Use The Right Shade.
We all know that one girl who looks like an oompa loompa from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory and it’s really not a good look. They key to avoiding an orange looking tan starts with choosing the right shade. Steer clear of warm, red-orange shades or anything with an overly yellow base and stick with cooler, green, purple, and brown based tans such as Australis Rapid Tan Mousse. With their 2-shade option the range contains a Chocolate Base for lighter skintones and a Purple Base for darker, olive skintones.
5. Apply Correctly.
Applying your fake tan as though it were your moisturiser isn’t going to give you the best results and using your hands, a towel, or a regular ol’ sponge simply won’t look even or natural. The ideal way to apply most tanners is with a mitt. Simply spray, squeeze or spritz a medium, golf ball sized amount onto a high quality tanning mitt and use small, circular motions. I love the Australis No Glove No Love Tanning Mitts because they’re washable, reusable and super high quality.
