I thought
it would be a good idea to show you my fake tan routine. In summer I like to have a nice tan, but most
of the time I’m stuck inside due to work :-( that’s why I like to use fake tan
products.
During the
years I’ve tried almost every fake tan product that is out there, I kid you not
;-) . I’ve had my share of fake tan bloopers as well, you know
: stains, orange hand palms, people making you aware of places you forgot,
white clothing looking brown after a hot day, etc … the usual stuff that comes
with fake tanning :-)
After all
those years there are 2 thing that I’ve learned which are key with Fake Tanning
:
1. Fake Tan products ALWAYS smell! Trying
to find 1 that doesn’t smell is like
looking for a holy grail…
2. It’s better to build up a fake tan
over ceveral days , then to use a really really really dark fake tan thinking
you will be a Bronze Godess overnight … been there , don that and guess what … it doesn’t work peeps !
So now on
to my personal fake tanning routine:
1/ make sure you scrub your body before applying fake tan. I like to use The Bodyshop –Vineyard Peach Body Scrub .

2/ apply a
body lotion which isn’t too greasy. I find it helps a bit to avoid dry areas. Remember:
dry areas absorb more of the fake tan product which causes stains … and ladies:
that’s not how you want to end up looking ! ;-) I like to use ‘Strawberry Body Puree’ .
3/ Apply a
fake tan product with color: it gives you an instant tan effect and helps you
see which areas you’ve already put the product on. I like to use the ST.Tropez
Bronzing Mousse, out of all the products I used/ tested, this 1 is my
absolute favorite ! Ok it smells, but hardly as bad as those other fake tan
products out there. I bought a special St.Tropez fake tan glove which helps you
to divide the product better & prevents your hands from absorbing too much
product. I even use this product for my face !
4/ after
letting it dry, I use a scented body spray to cover up any Fake Tan smells. I
like to use these from Victoria Secret which I blogged about in a previous blogpost.
