10 Rules of Self Tanning

Now that you have seen my favorite self tanning products, I thought I'd share some helpful tips for getting the perfect faux glow.

10 RULES TO THE PERFECT TAN:

1. If you need to get a mani/pedi, wax or shave your legs do that first!
2. Exfoliate with a NON oil based exfoliator.
3. Have skin 100% dry
4. Dab some lightweight lotion on dry patches such as elbows, knees and ankles since the self tanner likes to cling to those dry patches.
5. Pick your Potion! Choose your favorite product.
6. Bottoms Up! Start from the bottom and work your way up.
7. Go lightweight on the face. Keep in mind if you wear bronzer during the day, you don't want your face darker than your body. It will look like your face went to the Bahamas and your body stayed home!
8. Let it dry before you get dressed or add a dusting of baby powder to prevent transferring to your clothes, and you will smell good too!
9. Wash your Hands! If you have trouble getting it off, rub some lemon on your hands and scrub, scrub, scrub.
10. Avoid Showering for 8 to 10 hours.

Happy Tanning!
