Fake Tanning Tips - 2
Make sure to moisturise any dry areas, such as hands, elbows, knees and feet before tanning.
Fake Tanning Tips - 3
Different tans work for different people. Whether it’s a fast-acting fake tanning mousse, nourishing fake tanning oil or gradual fake tanning lotion make sure you find the right one that works for you!

Always use a good quality velour fake tan mitt or glove to apply your fake tan. Make sure it’s lined to avoid tan seeping through to hands.
