Skin Care - My Secret Too A Flawless Tan

I get loads of  questions and compliments all the time about my self tan!. Want to know my secret to a flawless tan? then just keep reading and i will tell you all my tips and tricks for a perfect tan.

1 - Before even think about self tanning i will exfoliate if you dont know what exfoliate is, its a deep cleanse of the skin using some kind of wash mit, wash brush, cloth or whatever you use to clean yourself, its best to be in a bath to let your skin properly soak but its not essential. Then after i have finished exfoliating i will shave! now shaving is a perfect step because it takes all the dead and loose skin away leaving you a nice smooth and clean canvas to work with!, If you remember on my earlier post 'A Beginners Guide to Self Tanning' you know not to moisturize after your bath/shower before self tanning because it prevents the developing process of the tan

2 - Ive tried so many tans and i've found 2 that works best for me -,
- St. Tropez, which is one of your more expensive UK high street self tans at about £10 or more it has more of a nice brown undertone, it can be maintained but does tend to go patchy over the course of 4/5 days which isnt to bad, and ofocurse my most current obsession Bondi Sands its an Australian tan this is more of your high end self tan costing about £15/£20 per product depending on where you shop.it can be sold either on the internet, it gives me the that perfect Italian yellow toned finish that ive always wanted, it can be maintained i once maintained this tan for about a week and  ahalf and it was still close to flawless, it doesnt go patchy or orange if you know what you're doing, definitely my holy grail self tan. If your on more of a budget though id say try something a little cheaper such as St. Moriz as its no more than £5 i personally found it wasn't the best quality and it made me look a little green, but that's my personal opinion overall an Ok self tan but i personally wont be purchasing it again.

3 - Right, now here is where we get into the more exciting stuff! once you've covered lets just say your neck and chest with the tan of your choice (use your tanning mitt to applicate) then get a unused buffing brush that you would normally use for makeup and while the self tan is still wet buff it all into the skin using the brush in nice circular motions everywhere until the tans is dry do the same everywhere else your applying your tan. Apply with your mitt evenly covering all the skin then blending it out with your buffing brush until the tan is all spread out evenly and dry then put some loose clothing on and leave over night! Remember to always shower in the morning but just have a look at my 'A Beginners Guide To Self Tanning' post if you want a more in depth application process.

So there you have it! my secret to a flawless tan is finally out! a 'Buffing Brush' you wouldn't think it was something so simple and easy would you?
