Hi Girls, now i'm going to give you all a brief run-down on the benefits of wearing false tan.
Our skin needs to be looked after, the older we get, the harder this exercise becomes. Skin, as it ages, becomes less supple and less elastic, we are more prone to wrinkles, furrows and crows feet as we age. Male skin, by its nature, is much thicker than a Females, however we still should keep up with a daily skincare regime.
Wrinkles!! what causes them? or shall we say the main causes? The three main reasons are as follows...
1. Smoking (causes depletion of the various vitamins such as A, C, E, in the skin and oxygen deficiencies)
2. Drinking Alcohol ( Acts as a diuretic, dehydrating the skin)
3. Sun and Sunbeds ( sunbeds emit UVA light causing the skin to age faster, The sun, dries the skin out and worse, UVA and UVB radiation by the sun is a known cause of skin cancer. Always, always!!! wear sun cream, even if its dull outside, minimum of SPF15, or higher if you live in a sunny place and are fair skinned. I cant emphasise the importance of this enough.
This is where your false tan comes in, but there are ways of applying it correctly and ways of looking like an orange!
There are various types of false tan such as oils, dyes, mousse, spray aerosols etc. Remember, some only last for a day, others last for a week or so. Tan comes in different shades too, such as fair, medium and dark. So! what are the steps to follow?
1. Always exfoliate your skin first
2. Apply moisturiser and leave for a couple of hours or so depending on how quickly your skin absorbs it. This is particularly important for the elbows and knees as false tan will penetrate these areas more due to lack of Sebum, giving the impression of dirty knees and elbows!! not good!
3. Try to use a false tan with a colour indicator in it, some dont have this and you cant judge what areas you have treated and areas you have not, causing streaks, missed areas etc.
4. Always use gloves (throw away vinyl ones)
5. use a Tanning mitt
6. spray the tanning lotion on the mitt and rub in with circular motions, ensuring all areas are covered.
7. remember, the False tan requires time to develop, usually, 4-8 hours depending on product, never put on trousers when the false tan is still wet!!! try to leave it for an hour if you can.
8. After tan is cured, shower to remove excess and re-moisturise afterwards.
9. Always wash your hands after applying false tan, once it cures, it is nigh on impossible to remove!!! always, always wear gloves!!
This might seem a bit of a faff, but to ensure good, even coverage and a lasting tan, its worth taking the time and effort, plus it is skin friendly too 🙂 .
Any questions, please message me 🙂

The only "tan" I ever get is what happens after a day of fishing.
