HOW TO ACHIEVE THE BEST FAKE TAN EVER

WHY APPLY FAKE TAN?  
With the dangers of skin cancer and premature ageing from the sun’s harmful UV rays being at the forefront of most people minds, the usage of fake or faux tan has increased dramatically. Fortunately for us, fake tan products have come on leaps and bounds. Gone are the days of looking like ‘you’ve been tangoed’ Instead, recent formulae can create golden glows so deliciously real that it’s easy to convince others that the  beautiful tan is your very own.  Also, choosing to go for a fake tan means you save oodles of precious time. Rather than baking yourself in the sun for hours just to get bronzed you can spend more time strutting your stuff around town to show off your perfect tan. These days, achieving the best fake tan ever is both quick and easy.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FAKE TAN
The road to self-tanning can get a little confusing at times as there are so many products to choose from. Some self tanning products are semi-permanent and some wash off easily and you can choose between tinted and non-tinted. To save you from fake tan information overload, here is a quick guide to get you on the right track and decide which products are best for you.

SEMI-PERMANENT

Mousse Tanning mousse is light and easy to apply, providing a streak free and even coverage.

Spray- Most tanning sprays are applied in beauty salons but there are some sprays available for you to apply at home. Just like mousses and lotions they can be easy to apply.

Lotion Many tanning lotions contain extra moisturisers enabling you to tan and moisturise at the same time. The only down side is that they are a little harder to apply evenly.

Tinted Lotion Tinted tanning lotions aid application as the colour means you can see exactly where you have applied the lotion and therefore highlights what areas you may have missed.

WASH OFF
Bronzing powder Growing in popularity, bronzing powders are often used as makeup on your face or body to give you a temporary sun kissed glow.

Tinted lotion These fake tan lotions are a great way to either top up an existing tan or to create a beautiful tan in an instant. Use them on your face or body and wash them off easily at the end of the day.
