Tanning Tips

SIMPLE STEPS TO A FLAWLESS TAN AT HOME... WITH SKINWEAR

SkinWear makes it simple to achieve stylish professional results whether you prefer a salon spray tan or a take home option. Here’s a simple step by step guide to the perfect sunless tan.

BEFORE TANNING:

Exfoliate thoroughly with SKINWEAR BUFFA BAR, paying particular attention to the feet, hands and elbow – often the most neglected parts of our body!

Shower as normal then apply SKINWEAR TAN EXTENDING MOISTURE MIST as a pre-tan treatment to dry areas (hands, knees, feet and elbows) NOTE: Do not apply deodorant, perfume or make up before tanning as this will affect your tan.

NOW YOU’RE READY TO TAN!

For best results using the Spray Tanning Mist

Prepare the tanning area. It’s important to tan in a well-ventilated washable area (a shower cubicle is ideal) Cover floor with towels.
Shake can well. Begin spraying tanning mist AWAY from the body then move mist 10-20cm from skin, applying in a light sweeping motion all over the body. If splattering or blotching occurs, dab gently with a tissue and shake can thoroughly. Do not apply more tan to these areas at this stage – you can always touch up later. NOTE: a willing boyfriend or friend makes spray tanning much more fun and makes it easier to get to those hard-to-reach areas! Lightly touch up any missed (or blotted) areas and apply a second coat if necessary. Allow tan to dry for 2-3 minutes before dressing. (For optimum results, avoid tight-fitting underwear and clothing after tanning. Open shoes (thongs) are also recommended).

For best results using the Tanning Mousse

Shake mousse bottle well. Apply Tan + Go Mousse evenly to body and wait until skin is touch dry before dressing. Re-apply as dresired for a deeper tan or after swimming. For a super smooth, streak free hint-of-a-tan mix the Tan + Go Mousse with our Tan Extending Moisture Mist. For hard-to-reach areas we recommend using the Skinwear Tanning Solutions Applicator. It opens out to 38cm long and enables you to tan your back or even your whole body without staining your hands. Dampen the sponge before use and rinse thoroughly after use and store for later use.   

AFTER TANNING:

For best results allow tan to develop 6-8 hours before showering. Do not rub skin with towel after showering, pat gently then apply SKINWEAR TAN EXTENDING MOISTURE MIST to hydrate and prolong the duration of your tan.
