Get Your Fake Tan On

StormSister Spatique tip via Beauty and Fashion Tech.

To maximize the staying power of a self-tan, take a shower beforehand, shave and exfoliate your skin head to toe. Exfoliation is key to a good self tan, because it removes dead skin and leave a smooth fresh surface for the product.

Exfoliate with an exfoliating bath or shower wash or scrub 3-4 times a week and use an exfoliating mitt every other shower or bath. Apply body moisturizer to skin immediately after each shower or bath.

Do this for a week before using self-tanning products for the softest, smoothest skin for an even application. After the self-tanning process has started, exfoliate body every other day and continue to apply body lotion and tanning gel after each exfoliation.
