Here are the 8 common mistakes in applying self tanner.
1. You don’t exfoliate first. Dry skin absorbs more tanner, leaving you with darker patches. For an even glow, start by buffing away dry, flaky skin.
2. You shave after applying tanner. Basically, do all your other beauty treatments before applying tanner.
3. You apply tanner as soon as you get out of the shower. You really need to be 100 percent dry to get an even application.
4. You skip moisturizer. Just like exfoliating, it’s important to apply moisturizer before self-tanner to help smooth dry spots and avoid dark blotches.
5. You forget about your feet and hands. After you’re done with the rest of your body, blend a little leftover product onto the tops of your hands and your feet.
6. You apply too much to your face. Just use a dime-size amount where you would tan naturally, like along your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
7. You don’t use enough product on your body. Shoot for about one tablespoon at a time and thoroughly blend in a circular motion to make the application as even as possible. To prevent streaks and orange palms, use a tanning mitt.
8. You don’t wait long enough to dry after application. Always double the suggested drying time given in the directions.
Applying self tanner is the most convenient and safest way to get a tan. You don’t have to go under the sun or to any tanning salons. However, you need to do it right. You need to apply the self tanner product properly.
