I feel better with a tan. I don’t know what it is about my body having some color on it, but man does it make me feel better.
- It makes my mood better (because I don’t look in the mirror and feel all pastey)
- It makes my makeup easier with is a win all in itself. Somehow the tan helps with my dark circles because hello it’s not dark circles right next to pastey white skin, but instead beside somewhat tan skin and I can either go without makeup more confidently or use less makeup. Either way, the tan makes it better.
- I can wear shorts/dresses/sports bras/bathing suits without feeling like I’m blinding myself or someone.
- It defines the small amount of muscle that I do have and just helps it to look more oomph (you know what I’m talking about.)
How I Apply:
With this tanner, I haven’t noticed it getting splotchy as the days pass. Even on day 4-5, I don’t see splotches where it’s worn off, it’s more of a gradual fade, which I love. Even though it doesn’t splotch, still exfoliate before using it again, unless you’re doing it a few days in a row to build a darker, more intense tan.
Top Tips to a Perfect Tan
- Shower, shave, exfoliate.
- Lotion (especially your dry skin areas)
- Apply the most product on the major body parts (legs, stomach, chest, arms) then use what’s left on the mitt for knees, elbows, hands, and feet. I promise there is product on your mitt even if you don’t think so. The excess that you don’t see on there is the perfect amount for those smaller/drier areas.
- Apply at night and sleep in dark, loose clothing.
- Rinse but don’t scrub.
- Lotion each day.
- Exfoliate before next application.
