How to Succeed with Self-Tan – Achieve a Natural Result Without Turning Orange

Dreaming of the perfect, healthy golden look? With the right self-tanning technique, you can achieve an even and natural golden glow without streaks, unpleasant odors, or an orange tone. Here are our top five tips for success:

1. EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN THOROUGHLY
In self-tanners, the active ingredient is DHA, and this is the substance that makes you tan. If you have too many or too few dead skin cells, there’s a risk you’ll end up with a patchy result or no result at all. That’s why it’s important to exfoliate your skin 24 hours before applying self-tanner. This ensures you have the perfect amount of dead skin cells for the most optimal self-tanning result possible.

2. MOISTURIZE DRY AREAS
If you have particularly dry areas, such as elbows, you can apply body lotion to these areas 24 hours before applying self-tanner. This helps to avoid a patchy result.

3. USE AN APPLICATION MITT
To achieve the most optimal result possible, an application mitt is essential. Applying self-tanner with your hands increases the risk of streaks. We’ve developed a mitt with a double-sided design made from 100% soft velour, complete with a thumb pocket to ensure the mitt stays securely on your hand while applying your self-tanner.
