For your tan to be perfect, it is important to prepare your skin well beforehand to avoid traces or demarcations. If you want to use self-tanner on your legs, start by waxing. Indeed, the hairs prevent the product from depositing well on the skin. If you have fine hair on your arms, you don't need to pluck it. Then, do a gentle exfoliation to exfoliate dead skin. On your body and face, you can use an exfoliating gel or a glove. Rub the dry parts gently, do not irritate the skin. Then remember to moisturize your skin well and avoid staying in a humid place. You should also not sweat before applying the product.
It is obviously essential to choose the right self-tanner according to the color of your skin. If you have fair complexion, don't go too dark. It is better to have a color that is too light than a color that is too dark. Then, dwell on the different types of self-tanners. There are instant tanning products. In spray or cream, they allow you to obtain an immediate tan. Some disappear in the water while others remain for a week. Be aware that these tanning cosmetics are more difficult to apply than DHA-based creams. This molecule makes it possible to color the skin over the hours. These progressive formulas are on the rise, because the tan appears gradually while keeping a natural appearance. There are also products specially designed for the face:tanning water, oil, cream... They are often suitable for the more fragile epidermis of the face.
To obtain a streak-free tan and to avoid the striped effect, carefully apply the self-tanner. For your legs, start at the ankles, then move up to the top of the legs. Start by putting a small amount in your hand first. Do one part of the body after another so as not to forget areas. It may be easier to use a spray for the back of the legs. Do not forget to put some on your feet, otherwise you will have a demarcation, but not too much, because this part of the body is less exposed to the sun. For the back, get help. For a perfectly natural result, lightly blend the material on your ankles and wrists. Finally, it is essential to hydrate your skin well once the self-tanner is dry, especially the joints. The more you hydrate your skin, the longer the tan will last.
