If your still hesitant about the whole self tan but still want that golden glow you can start with something a little bit lighter, a gradual tanning milk is a good way to go! but always remember with the tanning milk dont expect miracles it wont develop overnight like a self tan. It will take a few applications before you start to notice a change depending on your skin tone and type.
My first tip to all you beginners out there who are curious about the self tanning world and want to try please remember that a little product goes a LONG way if applicated and blended properly, remember you can always get some more if you need it, it wont run away when you aren't looking! also before self tanning remember to properly exfoliate your body and shave! exfoliating just properly cleanses and softens your skin, as shaving takes all the dead skin away and gives you a nice clean canvas to work from. When your out the shower/bath dont moisturize before tanning as it can stop the developing process of the tan and if any tan does develop it will be patchy and discolored.
My second tip would be if you want that perfect finish and application i would advise you to use a mitt or some kind of applicator, mitts/applicators aren't expensive, probably round about £5 will get you a decent mitt, but most tans come in a package with a mitt. Also for health reason remember to wash your mitt regularly. I personally wash mines after every second application, and from my experience id also advise you to get a mitt that's actually black, it lasts longer and takes longer for any /if any kind of discoloration to happen but there actually shouldn't really be a discoloration for a long time.
My third tip would be before self tanning use some kind of moisturizer or wax/vaseline on all the dry areas, so your knuckles the creases on the back of your hand, your elbow, your ankle, your knee just generally all the places the tan will over develop and cling too but only apply moisturizer, wax or vaseline to the places that are overly dry not your whole body.
My fourth tip is a simple one, whenever you wake up you will look a bit dark and patchy dont even bother looking, go straight in the shower and the shower basically takes off that layer of the bronzer/developer that is no longer needed! and please please please DO NOT rub the areas where you have self tanned, tan is so delicate under water and you will rub it all off and become very patchy! so dont rub and the same with drying yourself, DO NOT rub! you will rub your tan off and become very patchy! so just pat your skin until dry like i said your tan is very delicate when wet.
My fifth and last tip is to moisturize! moisturizing helps maintain a tan! moisturize every night ofr after every shower until your self tan is ready to come off! the longest I've maintained a tan for is about a week and a half, that's the perfect amount of time to keep that tan on for! then at the end of the week you just start again, following these tips and tricks!.
