Prep

Prepping your skin before you fake tan is so important, if you want to create a long lasting and smooth base for your tan to stick to longer and fade away better. Exfoliation is key here and I always make sure to give my skin a good scrub with the Soap&Glory Exfoliater, to get rid of dead skin cells and old tan, to make sure my skin is super ready for the tan application.


Moisture

Moisturising pre-tan is also an essential step in the tanning process. If I missed out this step, then it would not apply at all evenly and look nowhere near as smooth, given I have naturally very dry skin. I love to use the Nivea In Shower Moisturiser, as it saves me having to wait around for it to sink into my skin, as it's something you can use in the shower too and works just as good as a normal product.

Tan

Moving onto the main item, the tan I love to use is by Sunkissed In Dark. It's been one of my go-to products to use for a good few years now, as I just love the colour pay off and how it gives my skin a nice natural look. It dries pretty fast and the smell isn't as bad as most others I have tried before. I always sleep in my tan overnight, then rinse in the morning and my skin is left with a patch-free and flawless looking finish. By following these steps, I can always ensure to have a long lasting tan that lasts a good week before the process is needed to be repeated!
