To achieve a successful spray tan at home, follow these steps.
1. Preparing the skin
• A few days before, exfoliate your skin well to remove dead cells and obtain a smooth surface.
• Moisturize your skin well, especially dry areas (elbow, knees, feet and heels)
2. Shaving and hair removal
• if necessary, shave or wax the desired areas before applying the spray tan to avoid dark spots around the hair follicles.
3. Material
• use an application glove or mitt to evenly distribute the spray tan (mousse, spray, etc.)
• protect your hands with plastic gloves under the glove.
4. Choose the right product
• select a quality spray tan suited to your natural complexion and skin type
• always do a test on your skin to make sure you are not having allergic reactions.
5. Application
• start by spraying the product on a small area of your body to familiarize yourself with your technique
• Apply the spray tan in light, fluid movements, working from top to bottom.
• avoid saturating a single area to avoid staining
• Don't forget difficult areas like the back.
• If you have a foam product, take your glove and apply the product well all over your body.
6. Drying
• allow the spray tan to dry completely before getting dressed. This should take 10-15 mins!
7. Maintenance
• avoid showering or sweating for the first few hours after application to allow the product to develop properly.
• moisturize your skin regularly to prolong the life of your tan
• Gently exfoliate your skin every few days to prevent the tan from becoming blotchy. By following these steps carefully, you should get a spray tan at home that looks natural and even.
