They leave streaks or an unwanted orange complexion, smell extremely unpleasant, stain your favorite white T-shirt and leave a very unwanted mist in your hair. Self-tanning products, we continue to find them exciting. Well, anyone who has had the Tanrevel device in their hands knows better:the Scandinavian self tan gadget provides a vegan, natural-looking, sun-kissed tan. Still, we were left with questions so asked none other than Tanrevel's self tan expert Aida Soltan for advice and answers to our biggest self tan questions.
So PR: Let's start at the beginning. What makes Tanrevel different from any other self-tan product you've ever tried before?
Aida: The way of applying Tanrevel is unique in its kind and comes as close as possible to a spray tan in a salon, but for at home. The procedure is simple and leaves a natural tan – free of mess.
So PR: How do you prepare for the best tan ever? Aida: PREP YOUR SKIN! Start by giving yourself a gentle exfoliation 24 hours before application to remove extra oils and dead skin cells. This allows the formula to "stick" to your skin better, as it were and your tan will last longer.
So PR: How do you ensure that your tan stays beautiful for longer?
Aida: For this I would like to take you along in my 3 step plan.
1, Do not use shower gel or exfoliating products when rinsing the spray tan the first time you shower, only rinse with water. After the first time you can use shower gel again as usual
2, Do not rub, scrub or scrub the skin with a towel, it is better to pat the skin dry with the towel after showering
3, Another important part, tan or no tan, is to moisturize the skin every day with a cream.
So PR: What are the biggest misconceptions about self tan?
Aida: One self-tanning product is ABSOLUTELY not the other, there is a very big difference in the quality, color and intensity and therefore also in the result.
So PR: How do you determine the intensity of the color, a lot of trial &error?
Aida: When it comes to determining the intensity of the color, the best advice I can give you is to try it out! Start with one coat and if you want a more intense result, apply another.
So PR: Help, I'm very clumsy (and don't want to turn orange):is Tanrevel also an option for me?
Aida: Well, we all agree! That's why Tanrvrel is the perfect option for you, and him, and her and them. It is easy to use and you can determine the intensity yourself. Start by applying one layer and apply an extra layer for a more intense result.
So PR: Self tan, does it fit into a beauty routine all year round?
Aida: Oh yeah! The best thing about Tanrevel is that you can determine your intensity yourself, the more layers you use, the more intense your tan.
So PR: We gotta talk about it, touch ups, after how many days will you be ready for another spritz?
Aida: This really varies from person to person. I myself use it every three days to update the result and always have a summery fresh result.
So PR: In conclusion:what are the biggest don'ts and best do's when it comes to self tan?
Aida: Do, Use the product on cleansed skin before applying make-up.
Don't, do not use deodorant and products containing oils before using Tanrevel.
Those were the questions that kept us awake at night and the answers we could only dream of thanks to Tanrevel and his self tan expert Aida.
