So I'm not exactly one of those girls that plasters myself in self tan and ends up looking like a walking advert for tango but during the Winter months I tend to feel slightly on the paler side just from hiding away behind a coat all the time. As I spent the entire 3 months of Summer covered in baby oil lying in the sun all day everyday I built up so many layers of tan that my skin as a result developed a permanent tan I guess, It just hasn't really gone back to being as white as it was before. I still have that nice Summer glow and tan lines believe it or not. Im not as bronze as I was in the Summer but I do get complimented on looking slightly sun kissed. Anyhow this is my tanning regime on how to achieve light subtle bronze tan skin not fake heavy orange gunk. All thanks to St. Tropez's 3 step tanning treatment and a tanning mit.
Velvo Tan Tanning mit purchased in Tesco for £4.99. They really make a world difference as your tan comes out streak free and hands come out stain free not to mention they are also reusable.
Step 1: You want to start off with a clean canvas so shave it all off and exfoliate. I personally prefer to use exfoliating gloves as I believe the skin feels a lot smoother then if I was to use just my hands.
Step 2: Moisturise. You want to make sure your skin isn't dry as nothing can be worse then self tan sticking to dry patches making your skin looking streaky. Along with the lotion I also use the Garnier ultimate beauty oil just to make sure there is extra moisture especially in those dry areas and so that it illuminates my tan. Lets not forget the feet now. You dont want a good looking tan with crusty feet will just defeat the purpose. Cant go wrong with Scholl.
Step 3: Finally it's time to apply the tan. Using the tanning mit apply the self tan onto the back of the purple side and rub into body in circular motions. Start off with small amounts first because you can always build t up if you feel you need to. Even though St Tropez can be used for the face, for the face I chose to use a mosturiser specifically for the face which was the Dove Summer Glow.
Step 4: Time to walk around naked for a good 1/2 hour whilst the moisturiser is absorbed into the skin. For best results it says apply right before bedtime as product may appear streaky why drying so showering in the morning the next day will reveal a beautiful natural Summer tan. To maintain tan apply 1-3 times weekly, moisturise daily and use St Tropez body polisher.
