Prepare your skin

"The biggest mistake that people make is not to spend enough time to prepare their skin for a tan without sun," says Amanda Harrington: "We prepare our face before makeup and hair before the hairstyle, so why not prepare theskin before tan? Thus the best results are obtained ".Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, so that the tan is blurred and absorbed more uniformly.Focus on the rough areas, such as elbows, knees, ankles and heels: false tan accumulates notoriously in these areas.Apply a protective cream without oil in these areas to avoid stripes and stains ".

What color to choose

"I think that the choice of self -conducive man for your skin tone depends on the finish you want to get.Most of my clients, for example, just want to expand their natural skin tone, but others like to go for a striking look.The best autonncers ranges have expanded their products portfolios to include a more varied range of tones, which is very necessary.The Bare by Vogue Williams line has an 'purchase for tones' approach, which is really useful, "says Harknett.

If you are new in the tan

"If you have not started in the self -conducted, it starts with a gradual tan or with tan drops [which can be mixed with a moisturizer without oil] so you can acquire the desired brightness, instead of opting for a tan with ahigher DH level, "says James Read.

Address complicated areas

"When it comes to my back, my advice is to put a tanner in a wooden spoon and tie an elastic band around it, and that's it," says James Read, "when it comes to hands and feet, work the left -handed product in the hands and do the same with the legs on the feet.Sometimes I recommend working the tan to the hands and then using a bronzed brumar.

Meanwhile, Harrington is a big fan of changing his mit for a brush to blur, so if you have tried (and failed) with a mituation, he looks for a brush: "My mantra has always been" better with the brush!Brushes are perfect for blurring and polishing tan in the hands and feet and allowing greater control in the most difficult areas to reach ".

How to tan the face

"With regard to the face, the night before the tan I recommend using a hydrate cream with retinol (such as medium8 R-Retinoate) to cool the skin.On the day of the tan, rub a cube of ice on the face to close the pores, leave yourself with a paper handkerchief and then apply a thin layer of moisturizing cream.You can also use a cotton to rub a lip balm on the hair line and on the eyebrows to stop the discoloration (if you are prone to it) and then apply the tan.The next day, use a hyaluronic acid mask to give more life to the tan and make the skin seem even more radiant, "recommends read.

As for the tone to choose for the face, Amanda Harrington advises to work with your natural coloration, not against it: "Our tanned are for several tones, so they work with your natural color and you can apply layers to get a more colorintense, but always working with the natural tone of your skin ".He spray a facial mist on a brush [Harrington's face comes with a].Define the areas in which the sun would affect naturally - appointed, front and hair line - to get a luminous impulse of color that gives you that confidence of newcomer from the holidays ".

Hydrate the skin and body

"Before thinking about the self -incented, make sure your skin is hydrated, both inside and out," Harknett suggests."Take a bottle of water everywhere".For its part, Harrington states that when the skin is perfectly hydrated "the tan will look more radiant, it will last longer and will be better fade" "."Prolong the tan with a moisturizer without oil or perfume in the morning and at night and apply a low -level DHA - like the gradual tanning - every two days to maintain a uniform and bright shine on the skin," he says.
