Despite the prejudices it conveys (orange complexion, traces, unnatural effect), the self-tanner remains the ally of dyed palots in spring.

Here's everything you need to know before you apply it. We look good !

Prepare his face before applying

First and foremost, it is important to moisturize your skin a few days before applying the self-tanning treatment.

This precaution is intended to amplify the action of the scrub to make the day before the application, essential gesture to remove the dead skin on the skin and allow the self-tanner to adhere.

If these two actions are not performed, it is more likely from the outset to create traces on the face ... CQFD.

How to apply his face self-tanner?

The day of the application, there is nothing very good.

Just take a small amount of product and heat it in your hands, before applying it with the flat of your hands in a circular motion, all over your face.

Some precautions to take ...

To avoid any demarcation, care must be taken not to forget any area, such as the neck and ears.

Similarly, the eye contour area must be worked to avoid the "ski goggle" effect.

Also, be careful not to leave any extra on the eyelashes and eyebrows by blurring the deposits with a suitable brush or cotton swab.

Finally, all that remains is to let the self-tanner dry for 20 to 30 minutes, avoiding contact with the water for the next two hours.

Which self-tanner to choose?

There are two types of self-tanners : progressive tan (ideal for fair skin) or intense tan (ideal for matte skin).

Side texture there is choice, between mists, mousses, milks and even gels: everyone will find his happiness!

Finally, do not forget to wash your hands after applying so you do not stain your clothes ... and the rest of your bathroom.

If despite everything, the result is a failure, we can always repeat the scrub episode (gently) to remove the product.
