The sun’s out (well nearly!) and we all want to look glowing in
our new summer wardrobe but maybe you don’t want to over indulge in
those skin damaging UV rays. Here, wantthelook.com helps you to
transform your skin from pasty to sunkissed this summer the safe way
with a great fake tan! .
We’ve got a fantastic array of self-tan lotions, gels,
mousses and sprays from Fake
Bake online and in this guide we’ll tell you how to get the best
fake tan with them.
To achieve an even and streak free fake tan you need to start
by preparing the body! Make sure you shave your legs, exfoliate and
moisturise thoroughly to ensure an even coverage. Dermalogica
have an excellent range of body exfoliators and moisturisers that will
leave your skin in tip-top tanning condition. Alternatively, try Fake
Bake’s Passion
Fruit Body Polish and Skin
Smoothie.
Take your time when applying your fake tan and be sure to use
plenty of it. Make sure that you work the product all over the
body. People often forget about areas such as between their toes or
fingers, or the backs of their arms. By missing these areas out and
leaving the skin white it’s clear for all to see that your tan is a
fake.
Build up your coverage to suit your natural skin colour. If
you’re naturally pale skinned then it’s probably best to go for a light
coverage that will give you a golden glow rather than something too
heavy that may look unnatural. However, if you naturally have a more
olive skin then you will be able to go for a deeper bronzed look.
Lastly, always make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly
after fake tanning. If you’re using a cream or mousse it often settles
on the palms of your hands. This isn’t an area that tans naturally so be
sure to scrub it off!
