Finally,summer is here (kinda) !getting the perfect tan may be one of your top priorities this summer,but staying sun safe is equally important.here's how to get a golden glow whilst making other girls green,the safe way:
Let’s explore the world of self-tanners. Gone are the days of obviously “fake bake orange”, more and more self tanners on the market are providing a natural sun-kissed glow. Some are formulated for different skin types and are available in different shades, too.
A streaky fake tan has never been a good look,so here's how to apply self tan the right way;
1. Gently exfoliate your skin. You want a smooth surface for the tanning agent to adhere to so the application isn’t streaky or patchy.
2. Moisturize your skin before applying self tanner. It will allow for a smoother application.
3. Set aside half an hour or more to apply the self tanner and allow it to dry. Don’t rush the application process otherwise you’ll get streaks and might miss some spots.
4. Tie your hair up or use a shower cap so it doesn’t stick to your skin
5. Apply self-tanner lightly on areas where your skin is thickest (knees, elbows, knuckles, ankles)
6. Wash your hands immediately after application or save yourself the trouble and wear gloves.
Sounds easy enough right? If you make a self-tanning snafu, at least it’ll come off without much trouble or pain. A sunburn on the other hand, isn’t as easy or pain free.
Best self tanners:
1) Neutrogena Instant Bronze, Deep
2) Environmental Shield Self Tanner SPF 15
3) Clinique Self-Tanning Body Mist
4) Clarins Instant Self Tanning Gel
5) Bain de Soleil Streakguarde Self Tanning Creme
what are your favourites?
if you MUST sunbathe,please please make sure you're wearing a good sun lotion that hasn't yet reached its expiry date,it won't work very well otherwise (SPF 30+ no excuses!) and take breaks in the shade with a glass of ice cold water inbetween.
Happy tanning!
