Achieve an enviable tan that will keep people guessing. Learn how to give your skin a subtle boost of bronze.

A Flawless Finish

Before applying fake tan it is essential to prepare your skin in order to achieve a flawless finish. You may have the best fake tan in the world but applying it over dry, flaky skin is a pointless venture. To avoid the grubby, unwashed look include the following steps prior to application:

• Use a body brush on dry skin before you shower. This improves circulation and removes dry skin cells to banish dull looking skin and give a healthy glow.
• Use a moisturising body scrub to polish skin and smooth dry patches to ensure an even application.
• Give your skin a quick blast of cold water to tighten it.
• Apply moisturiser to areas that are prone to dryness such as elbows and knees.

Protect your Palms

Orange palms are a dead giveaway to fake tan usage. Use gloves or a self tanning mitt to keep your palms fake tan free. Scrubbing the fake tan off your palms can leave entirely white hands. Pasty hands attached to bronzed arms are almost as bad as the initial problem and will get your tan noticed for all the wrong reasons.

Lighting

Lighting is the key when it comes to a natural looking tan. Apply fake tan in natural light whenever possible as this will give you a good indication of how your tan will look when you are outside. We have all done our makeup in the dark and once outside realised it looks more drag than demure. It is exactly the same with fake tan. Apply your fake tan near a source of natural light for best results.

Know your Skin Tone

Deciding on the right shade of fake tan is the most crucial aspect when it comes to achieving a natural looking tan. Choose a shade that compliments your skin tone rather than one that is in direct contrast. The biggest mistake when it comes to fake tan is to choose a shade that is dramatically darker than your skin tone. For a natural bronzed look apply a thin layer to begin with, applying an excessive amount of fake tan can be detrimental. Remember, applying another layer is easier than starting again.
