Top Tips for Achieving the Perfect Wedding Day Tan with Lucy Bee
Published
Self-tan with the Lucy Bee Naturally Glowing Self-Tan Mousse - your tan will look so real that no one will know it’s fake!
By using these simple hacks, you’ll achieve a flawless, sun-kissed glow that’s streak-free and natural-looking every single time and most importantly on your wedding day! I’d recommend doing a few dummy-runs ahead of your big day, so you’re practised in self-tanning for a natural look.
Face
-
Exfoliate: The night before tanning, exfoliate with Lucy Bee’s Exfoliating AHA & PHA Tonic to remove dry skin and any unwanted tan residues.
-
Apply Sparingly: Use only half to one pump of self-tan mousse for your face.
-
Blend Evenly: Apply all the way up to your hairline, sweeping any excess over your ears, including the backs.
-
Protect Light Hair: Apply a small barrier like coconut oil to your hairline and eyebrows to prevent staining.
-
Buff for Perfection: Use the Lucy Bee Tan Brush to buff the mousse for a flawless finish.
-
Subtle Glow: Prefer a lighter look? Lucy Bee Tanning Drops are perfect for a soft, sun-kissed glow.
Torso and Arms
-
Tanning Your Back: No helper? Secure your mitt over a wooden spoon with a hairband to reach those tricky spots.
-
Underarm Care: Avoid deodorant or perfume before tanning. Use minimal product under the arms or buff with the Tan Brush.
-
Moisturise Elbows: Apply moisturiser to your elbows, using leftover tan on the mitt to lightly cover them and the inner elbow.
-
Flawless Hands: Apply tan from the arms down to the hands with gentle strokes. Spread fingers apart to reach all creases. The Lucy Bee Tanning Brush is ideal to buff in the mousse.
-
Nail Care: Remove any tan from nails with Lucy Bee’s Tonic or a tan remover to prevent staining.
Legs
-
Prep the Night Before: Exfoliate and shave to prevent tan from settling into pores.
-
Moisturise Dry Areas: Apply a light layer of moisturiser on knees, heels, and dry areas before tanning.
-
Knees & Feet: Bend your knees slightly to tan evenly. Apply tan from your legs down to your feet using gentle strokes, covering ankles and heels thoroughly.
-
Buff with Precision: For extra precision, use the Tan Brush on your feet and ankles.
We hope you found these tips useful and that you look glowing and radiant on your special day with Lucy Bee Self-Tan!
