Step-by-step plan for a perfect streak-free tan without the sun
You probably know it, your white legs are screaming for a tan without the sun. After you have received your new favorite self-tanner product, you get started with great courage. Away with those white milk bottles, hello sun-tanned legs. Or not? HELP! Streaks.
Luckily, we have the step-by-step plan for a streak-free tan for you. This way, you can get a tan without the sun.
Step 1
Step into the shower, put on some summer music and you are in the right mood. Use a lovely shower gel and make sure you clean every part of your body well.
Step 2
Important! Make sure you thoroughly scrub your legs before you start on that perfect tan. With a coarse scrub for the entire body you ensure that you get rid of dead skin cells. This way your self-tanner will last much longer and it gives an even effect.
Step 3
Your skin is now completely clean and ready to be hydrated. Use a lovely body lotion for a moisturized skin. Do this especially well on dry areas such as your knees, this prevents dark or orange spots. A self-tanner does not work well on dry areas. That is why it is important to apply that body lotion first. Make sure your body lotion is well absorbed before you start with your perfect tan.
Step 4
Applying your self-tanner perfectly can only be done with a special glove. This so-called Tanning Mit is indispensable for the perfect tan. In addition, you do not want the bottom of your hands or between your fingers to color. The self-tanner mitt ensures an even effect and without stripes, and that is ultimately what you want.
Step 5
Your skin is now cleansed, exfoliated and hydrated and is ready for a summer look. The most important thing to keep in mind is to apply well and not to get distracted. The easiest way is to apply your tanner per body part. Make sure you stay focused so that you don't forget any spots. Apply your tanning with circular movements. Don't forget to give the more difficult areas some extra attention such as your wrists, elbows and knees.
Step 6
Okay, you've applied your tanning cream, now what? Wait! In your underwear? Yes, you do! It's important to wait until your tanning mousse has been absorbed. This will prevent stains on your clothes or skin. Make sure you don't shower for the first 8 hours after applying your self-tanner and avoid sweating. This can cause streaks, which is exactly what we don't want.
TIP! Make sure you apply your own tanner before going to bed. If you wait at least 15 minutes, your skin will no longer stain and your sheets will stay beautiful.
