The only thing worse than exposing that lily-white leg is sticking out an orange one! Avoid typical tanning mishaps with these simple tips
Tips to achieve the perfect tan:
BEFORE:
Exfoliate your skin thoroughly. This will ensure an all-over, even distribution of colour.
DURING:
Wear dark undies or bikini bottoms to avoid staining. A g-string is a must!
AFTER:
The tan takes about 10 minutes to dry, but another eight hours to fully develop. Don’t stress about initial streaks – that’s just the bronzer, which allows the sprayer to see where they’ve applied the product.
Your skin is going to feel a bit sticky, so toss on loose-fitting clothing (black, for obvious reasons) and chill out. When the time’s up, hop in the shower and voila! Ready for that slinky sundress.
DOWN THE LINE:
A spray tan lasts for about a week, but you can make it last a few days longer if you moisturise daily.
If you find the tan fading in certain areas, try Caribbean Tan Tanning Wipes (R60). They’re ideal for touch-ups!
