Four Tips and Advices For Self Tanning

Feb. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Not all of us have had beauty training, so here are some tips to take on at home!

1. Make sure you remove all the hair on your legs.

For the smoothest finish getting them waxed at your local salon is the best idea. If not simply shave yours legs. If you want to learn more take a hair removal course (http://www.beauty-training.co.uk/hair-removal-courses/waxing.ashx?utm_source=Premium+Content+Creation&utm_medium=SEO+Articles&utm_campaign=Beauty+Articles).

However DO NOT shave your arms, as this will inevitably give you thicker, darker arm hairs, which you don’t want. Wax them or use hair removal cream. For all over coverage why not try Veet’s new spray hair removal cream. It’s really quick and easy to use.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliating removes all the dead skin cells, meaning your tan will go on so much easier. It will help shed dry skin from the top layer of the epidermis, leaving healthy skin ready for tanning. A great idea is to use a scrub with granules in it, as well as a body brush or some exfoliating gloves.

3. Choose the correct tanner for you

If you’re not so experience spray tanning can be quite difficult when trying to distribute the product evenly. You could get someone else to do it, or just use a cream formula. To learn the trades of the beauty industry take a beauty training course (http://www.beauty-training.co.uk/?utm_source=Premium+Cont...).

4. Protect your hands

Nobody wants orange brown hands. They are the ultimate giveaway, and you want your tan to look natural like you’ve just been on holiday. To prevent this make sure your hands are exfoliated and moisturized, or you could use some gloves. Some kits provide these. If not make sure you wash your hands throughout the tanning process using hand wash or soap.
