3 Self-Tanning Tricks You've Probably Never Heard Of
If you want to get the perfect look from your self-tanning
towels, you've got to know ALL the tricks of the trade. You've probably read the same ol'
advice a million times before, but we have a feeling you've NEVER heard of
these 3 tips:
1. The exfoliator
you choose really matters
You've probably heard that your skin will look better if you
exfoliate before you apply self-tanner.
However, we bet you HAVEN'T heard that some exfoliators can leave oil
behind. Yup, that means the wrong
exfoliator can actually make it harder for the tanning solution to absorb into
your skin!
2. Hair removal
can be done the wrong way, too
Shaving and waxing can remove your self-tanner sooner, so if
you want to be tan for as long as possible, remove your hair before you use your
self-tanning towels. However, the
exact timing of your hair removal has to calculated VERY carefully!
It's OK to shave a few minutes before you apply your
self-tanner. However, if you tan
right after you wax, your skin won't have time to heal. Because waxing can irritate skin (and,
thus, prevent the self-tanning solution from absorbing), be sure to do it at
least 48 hours in advance.
3. Shimmer
makes you look tanner
If you think that ALL of your color has to come from your
self-tanning towels, think again!
Applying a little bit of shimmer before a big night out will give your
skin some extra glow. In fact,
it's the perfect finishing touch for shoulders when you're going strapless, or for
your tummy when you're rocking a bikini!
