6- Apply in Sections:
Divide your body into sections (legs, torso, arms) for easier application. Hold the spray about 6–12 inches away and apply in a smooth, continuous motion, moving from one section to another.
7- Blend Thoroughly:
After spraying each section, use a tanning mitt or your hands (wearing gloves) to blend the product into your skin. Ensure an even application to avoid streaks or uneven patches.
8- Pay Attention to Details:
Be meticulous around areas like wrists, hands, feet, and the ankles. Apply sparingly to these areas, and use a cotton swab to blend the product for a more natural look.
9- Allow Drying Time:
Let the self-tanner dry completely before dressing. This usually takes 10-15 minutes, but follow the product’s specific instructions.
10- Avoid Water and Sweat:
Refrain from activities that may cause sweating or contact with water for a few hours after application. This helps the self-tanner set and develop properly.
11- Maintain Your Tan:
Moisturize regularly to extend the life of your tan. Avoid exfoliating too frequently, as this can accelerate the fading process.
Always follow the instructions on the self-tanning product you choose, and remember that individual results may vary. If you’re new to self-tanning, start with a lighter shade and gradually build up for a more natural look.
