Unlike Europe, Asian women often prefer fair and smooth skin. Thus, “modern” girls who love tanned skin have a disadvantage as they have very few shares and tips to achieve the desired tan. Instead, many ladies have to spend a considerable amount on skin bleaching at prestigious beauty salons, with the hope of soon owning a tan that is very pleasing to the eye, especially the glowing skin like the famous Victoria’s Secret angels.
Understanding this mindset, today we will show you how to self-tan safely, effectively, and save a lot of time and money. Let’s go through the 8 steps quickly below, and you will quickly own a tanned and attractive skin.
Step 1: Exfoliate your face
The first step is always to clean up all the dead cells remaining on the face. This step will create a solid foundation for your skin to absorb the nutrients later. You can use exfoliating products from famous beauty brands. Or, you can go to beauty websites to learn how to make exfoliating masks at home.
Step 2: Exfoliate your body
Just like the face, your body also needs to remove the layer of dead cells before proceeding to the tanning steps. The easiest way is to soak in a hot bath, then gently rub the body with a bathing sponge or soft towel, from the neck down to the feet. Alternatively, mix 3 tablespoons of salt into the bath milk to enhance the ability to remove “unnecessary” cells on the skin surface. However, with this method, you should only massage gently to avoid damaging the skin.
Step 3: Apply moisturizer to dry skin areas
After drying the skin, carefully check the dry and rough skin areas such as knees, elbows, finger joints, ankles, or even the skin around the nails. Then, apply a thin layer of moisturizer to these “sensitive” areas to provide nutrients and create a protective layer for them before the tanning process.
Step 4: Tan your skin
This is the most important step in the whole process. At beauty salons, you will be tanned with a spray gun to evenly distribute the color. However, if you do it at home, make sure to use a reputable tanning product to avoid future “disasters”. Then, prepare a bottle of spray tan and do it one by one from top to bottom:
Face: Stand in the bathtub, use a spray gun to tan the face from top to bottom. Move your hand horizontally and slowly lower it down.
Front body: From the neck down, spray in a vertical motion. Proceed from the neck, shoulders, arms (except the armpit area), waist, legs, and feet. Especially for the knees or elbows, you should only spray once if you don’t want them to become too dark.
Back: To tan the back, bend your body, raise your hands above your head and spray horizontally, evenly to both sides to ensure even skin tone. After getting half of the back on one side, switch hands to tan the remaining half.
Step 5: Dry with a hairdryer
After evenly applying the tan, stand in front of a fan or use a hairdryer to dry the entire body. This step will help the tan dry faster, and the warmth will activate the absorption process of the skin’s nutrients quickly.
Step 6: Clean the nails
Use a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover solution to clean all the stained areas around the nails. Also, use a cotton swab to clean the ears to ensure that the tan color does not “linger” in these areas.
Step 7: Shower with a showerhead
For each type of tanning product, there will be specific instructions on the waiting time for the tan to absorb and take effect. Therefore, read carefully and wait for the specified time. Then, shower again with a showerhead to remove excess products, clean the skin with gentle bath milk, and dry with a soft towel.
Step 8: Apply moisturizer for tanned skin
The final step, but equally important, is to apply a layer of moisturizer (specifically for tanned skin). This moisturizer will play a crucial role in accelerating the natural absorption of brown pigments and preventing skin from becoming greasy.
