Finally it's that time of year where most of us (including me) are all white and pasty from winter and the self tan must come out. I find Caribbean Tan works best for me, its a nice natural brown, not orange at all. They also have divided their tan goodies into 3 categories to suit your skin type. A-for pale white skin that burns easily and tans minimally, B-for white/beige skin that tans gradually and C-for tan darker skin that tans well (don't know why they would need it then). So here are the steps and products I use to achieve that sun kissed glow.
-
Prep skin: Exfoliating is very important to get an even tan. I use the Caribbean Tan body exfoliant. It really makes your skin feel super soft and smooth. I slather this on while standing in the shower before i shower.
I use the mousse (in B) because it is the least messy and most controlled application out of the 3 types (spay and spritzer). I rub this on in even strokes to make sure I get an even look. Then I carefully but properly wash my hands and use a nail scrubber to make sure your nails don't turn yellow too. If you don't wash your hands and nails after, your hands will look scary, trust me. Unfortunately I haven't mastered this yet so the area around my wrists don't always look great. - Then I take a towel after washing my hands and just smooth over my fore arms and hands to even out the tan in that area.
- I then put on old baggy pajamas and get into bed. Then the next morning I look tan! Yay!
Moisturize: after I shower in the morning, taking care not to scrub my body, I apply the body butter to make sure my tan doesn't flake and also to prolong it. You can use any thick cream but just make sure it doesn't contain a lot of alcohol. Enjoy your day! XO
