The Fake Tan Checklist

Once you’ve decided to fake tan, you need to make the first essential choice: do it yourself or go to a salon? You can get great results at a good salon, but many people choose to use fake tan in the comfort of their own home, which is not only a cheaper option, but gives you the time and privacy to make sure you get things right. For those who decide to go it alone, here are the other points on the fake tan checklist:

Colour – fake tan comes in a variety of shades, so it’s important that you choose a shade that suits you. You can find colour charts that show how the tan colours will turn out and recommend certain colours depending on your natural skin and hair colour. Of course, you can fake tan to any level you choose, but to begin with, it’s best to choose a colour that looks natural.

Formula – essentially, you’re just looking for added colour for your skin. That means you should steer away from anything that might give your skin an unnatural look or feel strange when you apply it. Avoid fake tan products that are oily or greasy as these are more likely to look unrealistic and could irritate your skin. Look for a formula that includes recognised skin care ingredients so that you can be confident that it will look as natural as possible.

Application – whether you’ve applied fake tan before or this is your first time, you’ll want a product that’s straightforward to use. You’ll need to exfoliate and go through your usual skin care routine before you apply, but whether you’re using spray or cream, you need to make sure that the application is as even as possible and that you don’t forget common problem areas such as elbows, knees and ankles.

Lasting – some fake tans last for longer than others. If you’re happy to top up your tan every few days, that’s fine, but some people would rather use a tanning product that lasts longer. Make sure you check this out before you buy.

Whatever fake tan product you use, it’s important to remember to look after your skin once your tan has taken. Fake tan isn’t a substitute for good skin care and the more you look after your skin, the better your tan will look.

We love Fake Bake's Instant Airbrush Spray Tan. Not only do you get amazing coverage and a beautiful tan it doesn't smell as bad as other tans do. 

I applied this myself and didn't end up with any streaks or bad patches, it comes with a application mitt too so there is no excuse to end up with orange hands.
