Tips for Self-Tanning like a Pro

Here's your full proof guide to applying self tan like a pro from everAFTER’s resident beauty editor Kenneth Higgins.

STEP ONE: Preparation is key!

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! This process removes the dead skin cells in order to create a smooth and even surface for the tan to be applied to.

our pick: Infused with charcoal, the Le Tan Charcoal Exfoliating Mitt is ideal for removing tan and drawing impurities from the skin's surface, leaving a clean and smooth finish!

STEP TWO: Mastering the application!

An application mitt is vital for a flawless tan as it helps blend the tan into the skin, also works to protect your hands for staining.

our pick: The new Le Tan 2 in 1 Mitt and Back Applicator is a game changer! It makes tanning your back completely effortless.

STEP THREE: Prolonging your tan!

The drier your skin is, the faster your tan will fade. So moisturising 2-3 days after tanning with a gradual lotion will extend the life of your tan.

our pick: With added Macadamia Oil for ultimate hydration, the UBER Glow Gradual Tanning Lotion is the perfect to keep your glow lasting.
