It’s OK to fake…
It’s OK to fake…
Get a gorgeous sun-kissed glow without the burn and long term damage of sun baking. It’s never been cooler to fake it. And new generation tanners mean better application, longer lasting, natural looking results and no tell-tale fake tan smell.
The golden rules of applying fake tan need to be obeyed no matter what potion or lotion you go with.
1) Exfoliate religiously with particular emphasis on dry skin prone areas like elbows and knees
2) Make sure your skin is nicely moisturised so your tanner glides on smoothly
3) Wear disposable gloves when applying to avoid tell-tale orange palms
4) Go easy on areas like your neck, knees and ankles, where colour can accumulate giving a less than natural result
