Let’s talk self tanner! There are SO many self tanning lotions out there that trying to find the perfect one becomes a little difficult. I’ve tried a lot but my most favorite is Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse in the shade Ultra Dark. I have used this one for many years and it gives by far the best color I’ve had. It has more of a red undertone when a lot of the other tanners have a more olive green undertone.
Self tanning application can be a little tricky because sometimes it just doesn’t want to stick to your body but what I’ve learned is that exfoliating is key! Start by scrubbing with an exfoliator. My favorite is Tree Hut Body Scrub and then shave, I use the billie razor and it gives me a close shave with no razor burn. Always make sure to lotion dry areas on the body such as elbows, ankles, and knees. Put 2-3 pumps of the mousse on the applicator mitt and rub in circles. I always do one coat and then wait 3 minutes and dry before applying a second coat. I apply at night and sleep in it and when I wake up I always shower! Although, if you don’t like getting into bed with self tanner on, Loving Tan recently came out with a 2 HR Bronzing Mousse in Ultra Dark and it is just as good!! As for my face, most of the time I leave my face alone and just wear a darker foundation but if I do want to tan my face I love using the Tan Luxe Drops mixed in with my face moisturizer.
Self tanning ALWAYS makes me feel better!
