Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You'll need an exfoliating scrub or mitt, a shower or bath, and your favorite self-tanning product.
Step 2: Start with a Warm Shower
Hop into a warm shower to open up your pores and soften your skin. This will make exfoliation more effective and comfortable.
Step 3: Exfoliate Gently
Apply the exfoliating scrub or use the exfoliating mitt in circular motions all over your body. Pay special attention to rough areas like knees, elbows, and ankles.
Step 4: Rinse Off Thoroughly
After exfoliating, rinse off the scrub or mitt completely. Be sure to remove any residue from your skin, as it could interfere with the tanning product's absorption.
Step 5: Pat Dry
Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing your skin, as this can cause irritation.
Step 6: Wait for Your Skin to Settle
Give your skin a few minutes to settle before applying the self-tanning product. This ensures your skin is at its optimal state for tanning.
Step 7: Apply Self-Tanner
Follow the instructions on your self-tanning product carefully. Apply the tanner in circular motions, starting from your legs and working your way up. Don't forget to blend well to avoid any streaks.
Step 8: Wash Your Hands
After applying the self-tanner, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid staining your palms.
Step 9: Let It Dry
Allow the self-tanner to dry completely before getting dressed or hopping into bed. This usually takes a few minutes, but check the product instructions for specific drying times.
Step 10: Moisturize Daily
For a long-lasting tan, moisturize your skin daily after your shower. This helps to maintain the color and prevent the tan from fading too quickly.
Exfoliating before self-tanning is a game-changer for achieving a smooth and even tan.
