Pick your formula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Self-tanners come in a wide variety of formulas<\/strong>. Each has its own texture and application recommendations, development times and results. Choosing the right format comes down to personal preference.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some formulas might be more \u201cbeginner friendly\u201d than others with easier application and faster-developing times. Here is a list of the types of products that are available and what to expect with each of them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creams&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whips and Mousse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serums&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoiding the dreaded orange look is essential. Of course, you can dive into customer feedback and reviews, but that can be a bit of a guessing game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know what skincare preparations and products are right for you by talking with a local professional. You can book a virtual or in-person consultation today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/GCkAldoPYrb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-pick-your-shade\"><\/span>2.

That might be why <strong>sunless tanning products<\/strong> have such a polarized reputation. However, achieving a natural look is easier than ever with the advancements in formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No base tans are needed to apply creams, gels, whips, or serum tanning products. Just choose lighter shades to start with because<strong>&nbsp;the tan will develop (darken) over the next 2-12 hours.<\/strong>&nbsp;You can always build a deeper tan over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid the mistake of applying too much product because you don\u2019t see a visible difference right away. Your choice of formula can help you achieve the glow of a three-week vacation or barely sunkissed, depending on what your goal is.

Preparing your skin for sunless tanning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All sunless tanning products interact with the top layer of skin in order to temporarily deepen the skin tone. A common mistake is applying the product without properly prepping the skin, leaving streaks or blotches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>24 hour hours before:&nbsp;<\/strong>Hop in the shower to exfoliate head to toe. This is also when you\u2019ll want to shave because the presence of any hair will create streaks. Read&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/summer-hair-removal-tips-for-traveling\/\">this guide to hair removal<\/a>&nbsp;for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12 hours before:&nbsp;<\/strong>Exfoliate again with either a mitten or dry brush. Then on a part of the body that is hidden under clothing, do a little test patch. Over the next several hours, you will be able to see how that sunless tanning product develops on your own skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 hour before:&nbsp;<\/strong>Moisturizer interferes with the product so you won\u2019t apply it except to strategic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knees, elbows, and knuckles tend to become overdeveloped\u2013an obvious self-tan giveaway, so you can use that to your advantage. By applying a little moisturizer to these areas, you can prevent over-absorption on that site and you will see more even results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-tools\"><\/span>4. Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An even tan comes down to prep, tools, and products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you swipe on that tan, reach for your exfoliating mitten or skin dry brush, a foundation brush, and a hydrating lotion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exfoliating Mitten or Dry Brush:&nbsp;<\/strong>The day before you apply the tanning product, hop in the shower and exfoliate (you can use a scrub or a mitten).&nbsp; If you prefer to exfoliate out of the shower, you can choose the dry brush technique. This is a soft natural fiber brush that you gently work all over your body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Foundation Brush:&nbsp;<\/strong>Another tip for the knees, elbows, and knuckles is to use a foundation brush to apply the tanning product. You\u2019ll flex, so the wrinkles are stretched open and gently press the self-tan into that area. There is a fantastic demonstration on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cocoandeve.com\/blogs\/news\/how-do-i-prolong-my-sunny-honey-fake-tan\">this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hydrating Lotion:&nbsp;<\/strong>The knuckles, elbows, and knees tend to soak up more tanning product than anywhere else. To combat that, apply a little lotion to these areas before the sunless tanning product for more even coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-how-make-a-sunless-tan-last-longer\"><\/span>5. How make a sunless tan last longer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully, you exfoliated thoroughly before you applied your self-tanner because you won\u2019t be doing that for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While exfoliating is a necessary process&nbsp;<em>before<\/em>&nbsp;sunless tanning, doing it&nbsp;<em>after<\/em>&nbsp;will cause your bronze glow to fade before its time. Avoid the use of body scrubs, peels, or Microdermabrasion as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, you need to skip any products containing salicylic acid and stay away from hot water. Instead, keep moisturized with a great lotion and drink lots of water. Check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/the-101-on-skin-hydration\/\">101 on Skin Hydration<\/a>&nbsp;for a deep dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can even add a small amount of your self-tanning product to the lotion to prevent fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"reversing-a-fake-bake-mistake\"><\/span>Reversing a fake bake mistake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event that something goes wrong and you\u2019ve ended up with noticeable streaks, an unmistakable orange hue, or blotchiness, there are fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will simply do everything this blog tells you not to do. That means taking a hot shower, using products containing acid (salicylic or even lemon juice), and exfoliating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As J Lo\u2019s character in&nbsp;<em>The Wedding Planner&nbsp;<\/em>puts it, \u201cQuarter cup of lemon juice, half a cup of salt, and a loofah sponge. Scrub, scrub, scrub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who want to avoid extra sun exposure, self-tanners are a great choice. But these products work differently than the real thing, <strong>so be aware that these sunless tanning products take anywhere from 2 hours to half a day to develop completely<\/strong>. You must wait for that amount of time before deciding you need another application in order to avoid unnatural-looking results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, it is best to see your local beautician for skincare maintenance, especially when you\u2019ve opted for a faux tan. Head to Booksy for a consultation, treatment, or product recommendations from a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/GCkAldoPYrb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bronzed glow might be your goal, but you don\u2019t want to bake under the sun&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":48452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[189],"class_list":["post-48451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sunless Tanning - The Healthier Way to Tan - Booksy.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Self-tanning is the healthier way to tan to avoid sun damage.
