Prevent blotchy results
Pre-work is the secret to a neat fuss tan. Exfoliate and moisturize your skin thoroughly before using self-tanner for a smoother, more long-lasting result. Dryness on the surface of the skin and dead skin cells can make the color uneven.
Extend color retention
The more carefully you maintain your fusus tan, the longer you maintain it. Hydrate your skin and maintain your tan by gradually using a tanning product. Avoid scrubs, as they speed up the lightening of the color. Even shaving and waxing can affect color retention, so remove hair before using self-tanner.
Combat dark elbows and feet
The skin on the elbows, feet, knees and eyebrow area is often drier. On dry skin, the self-tanning product adheres better, making the fus tan darker and more variegated. Apply an extra layer of moisturizer to dry areas so that the skin does not absorb too much self-tanning product. And remember to wash your hands thoroughly after using the self-tanner so your palms don't get discolored.
Apply correctly, you will avoid streaks
Plan in advance in which order you will apply the self-tanner product to your body and face so that you don't miss a point. Apply the product in circular motions instead of longitudinal motions to avoid streaks. A brush or mitt for applying self-tanner will help you get a smoother result.
