1. before you apply your fake tan these are things you MUST do it’ll change your life:
whilst you have tan on you need to moisturise every single day (i do it after showering) it makes your tan last longer and makes it 100x easier to remove tan, these are the best ones!

2a. the night before you’re planning on tanning you need to remove all the old tan, get an exfoliating glove from home bargains they’re so cheap, they’re the key to removing tan quickly and they’re reusable because you can stick them in the washing machine!
2b. use them with either shower gel and body scrub or shower gel but body scrub makes a big difference, use it in circular motions with lots of pressure in your fingertips and the tan should just slide off if you’ve been moisturising well, do this before shaving!!
3. then shave everywhere with shaving foam and if after shaving there’s still old tan go back in with the exfoliating mit and get it off, i also shave my face
i know it sounds daft but it gets rid of all the peach fuzz and makes your skin look so much better with/without makeup!

4. once you’re out the shower lather yourself in moisturiser and sleep in it, this gives your pores time to close so you don’t get those black dots, if you tan directly after a hot shower/shave you’ll get black dots everywhere and no one wants that believe me
5a. the next day before you’re going to tan wash the moisturiser off with COLD
water and shower gel, it has to be cold so your pores don’t open up! pat dry and using a heavy moisturiser moisturise your elbows, knees, belly button, armpit creases, feet and hands! i love this one

5b. leave the moisturiser to soak in for 10 mins before you start tanning, you could do a face mask (aldi ones are the best trust me, they’re dupes for glam glow) but again wash off with cold water then moisturise your face + apply lip balm
6. finally the tanning!! I use st moriz DARK & MEDIUM (so cheap but the best) i’ve tried bondi, loving tan, st tropez, etc and nothing beats it, apply DARK with a tanning mit everywhere but face feet and handsbondi sands tanning mits are the best and they’re machine washable!

7. use MEDIUM on your feet and hands with a dense bronzer brush and again blend in circular motions, hands and feet always cling to the tan more so it is key to use a lighter shade! then after that use the same brush and the DARK shade on your face and blend again with the brush!
7. leave the tan on for 8 hours for best results, i do it whilst im alseep or if i have a day off I lounge around in a baggy tshirt and loose flared leggings so they don’t mess the tan up, when you wake up wash it off with lukewarm NOT hot water otherwise it’ll come off loads xx
8. pat yourself dry with a towel and moisturise everywhere, i use the garnier tanning moisturiser on my legs or everywhere depending on if my tan came out dark enough or not but the vaseline ones are always the best!
9. before and after
here’s a vid of the hands, hope this helps someone out hahah enjoy!!
