Are you dreaming of a flawless tan that radiates confidence? Whether you're gearing up for a tropical vacation or simply embracing that year-round glow, achieving the perfect tan doesn't have to be complicated. With the right products and techniques, you can get a professional-quality tan from the comfort of your home. This guide will walk you through step-by-step, featuring GetTheTan’s top-tier products to help you glow like never before.
Step 1: Prep Your Canvas
A great tan starts with well-prepped skin. Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and ensuring an even application. Use a gentle body scrub to slough off dull skin, paying special attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Follow up with a lightweight moisturiser to hydrate your skin and create the perfect base for tanning.
Pro Tip: Avoid oil-based products before tanning as they can interfere with the product's absorption.
Step 2: Choose the Right Product for Your Goals
GetTheTan offers a range of tanning solutions tailored to different preferences. Looking for a quick, even application? Try the Watermelon Tanning Wand, which ensures smooth coverage with minimal effort. For those who love a luxurious lotion, the Pineapple Butter Cream Tanning Lotion combines skin hydration with a rich tan. And for an accelerated, deeper glow, the Mango Mousse Tanning Accelerator works wonders.
Step 3: Master the Application Technique
For a streak-free tan, application is everything. Dispense your chosen product onto a tanning mitt or your palms, depending on the texture, and work in circular motions. Start from your feet and move upward to ensure consistent coverage. Be mindful of tricky areas like the back of your knees and underarms.
Pro Tip: Apply sparingly to areas like elbows and knees where the skin is naturally thicker to avoid dark patches.
Step 4: Let It Set
Patience is key after applying your tanning product. Allow the formula to absorb fully before getting dressed or hopping into bed. This ensures the product has enough time to develop evenly on your skin. For tanning lotions and jellies, give at least 10-15 minutes to dry before contact with fabrics.
Step 5: Extend Your Glow
Once you’ve achieved your desired tan, keeping it radiant requires maintenance. Moisturise daily with a non-oil-based lotion to lock in hydration and prevent your tan from fading unevenly. For a boost of color, incorporate the Fruit Drops into your moisturiser—just a few drops can intensify your glow and extend its life.
