From prepping your skin to post-tan maintenance, these simple steps will help you perfect your self-tanning routine for a stunning, natural-looking glow
- Cool, Not Hot Showers: Before tanning it is best not to shower right before tanning but if you need to then take a cool shower to keep pores closed and prevent tan settling unevenly.
- Apply Barrier Cream: Use a light layer of Lucy Bee's coconut oil, Hydra-Bod Body Cream, or Brilliant Balm on hands, feet, elbows, and knees to prevent the tan from becoming too saturated and holding onto these areas.
- Wear Loose Clothing: Post-tan, wear loose, dark clothing to avoid rubbing.
- Avoid Deodorant and Perfumes: These can react with the tanning product and cause discolouration and patches. The same goes with moisturiser if using as a barrier, use a fragrance free one, like the Lucy Bee Hydra-Bod.
- Keep Hands Fresh: Use Lucy Bee Tan Brush on your hands and blend.
- Sleep Smart: If tanning overnight, wear loose clothing and let the tan dry before getting into bed.
