Don't confuse me with a Dorrito! The right way to Tan

Welcome to the 21st century, where leathered skin is no longer in fashion and has been replaced with the good old FAKE TAN. It's the sun kissed look that is desirable and not to be mistaken for the oompa loompa look - leave that for Willy Wonker.

Fake tans can look great if preparation of the skin is taken care of first and the correct shade is chosen.

Prior to your spray tanning appointment, follow these simple steps to ensure the results are great - and acceptable to walk out in public!

BEFORE THE SPRAYTAN.

1. Lightly exfoliate your skin at least 24 to 48 hours before. Don't over do it or your tan can look streaky.

2. Shave or wax 24 hours before. You don't want your pores to be noticeable as the tan can look spotty.

3. Moisturise days leading up to the tan to hydrate the skin. Dry patches will look blotchy.

DAY OF THE SPRAYTAN.

1. Avoid showering just before the tan.

2. Don't apply underarm deodorant, perfume or moisturiser - this will result in patches.

3. Wear loose fitting clothes.

4. Remove all jewellery. Best to leave them at home.

5. Avoid rubbing your straps whilst tan is developing.

6. Try not to wear a bra - set the girls free lol.

7. Avoid getting the tan wet. Depending how long you need to keep it on for.  Most of them are 2 hours.

AFTER CARE AND PROLONGING THE TAN.

1. Wash the tan off after the recommended time. 

2. Shower with water only - No soap. Wait until the water runs clear and the tan almost looks like it has disappeared. Don't stress. The tan will continue to develop in the next 24 hours. 

3. Do not use shampoo during this shower. Wait till the next day or you will get streaks.

4. Pat dry your skin - no rubbing. Do this for the rest of the week.

5. Moisturise each time you shower as this will allow the tan to fade gradually over the week.

6. Once the tan has faded, only then you can begin to exfoliate the skin.

There you have it. Simple steps to achieve the look that you have just returned from Hawaii or Bora Bora.....SIGH!

A good spraytan will make you feel flawless. Cellulite seems to be disguised as well as all the other skin imperfections, even if it is for only a short time. 

Its your time to GLOW peeps.
