Every woman uses it at some point, or has used it at some point; self-tanner . But how long does it actually last and how can you make sure that your fake tan stays beautiful for as long as possible?
Self-tanner, how and why?
Self-tanner comes in many forms, such as mousse , lotion and spray . One self-tanner has a colour indicator, while another applies transparently and develops further within a few hours. We have self-tanners for your body , but also special ones for your face .
With self-tanner you give the top layer of your skin a color. Unfortunately, this color is temporary, but you can take steps to keep your fake tan as long as possible and keep it beautiful.
On average, a fake tan lasts for about 7 days, after 7 days the top layer of your skin is replaced by a new layer of skin. You don't notice it, but your skin is constantly renewing itself.
That's why it's so important to exfoliate before applying self-tanner. This way you can be sure that you have a 'fresh' layer of skin and that your self-tanner doesn't attach to skin cells that will come off again within a few days. Also make sure that you shave your legs before you start using self-tanner. This prevents spots and applies your self-tanner evenly.
Lubricate, lubricate, lubricate
When you make sure your skin is well hydrated, you ensure that the cells in your skin also stay beautiful longer and are less likely to come loose. By pampering yourself every day and applying your favorite body lotion, you extend the wear time of your fake tan. Super nice and a good excuse for a moment of ME time every day!
The more often you shower, the faster your tan will fade. When washing and drying, you unknowingly remove a layer of your skin. To keep your tan as beautiful as possible, we advise you to reapply it regularly. This way, your sunkissed glow will remain and even.
