It's happened to us all before, the dreaded 'fake tan hands' curse. Not even the likes of Kylie Jenner have been able to escape it.
But we're not having it any longer. The bronzed skin experts are here to save your tan, one bronzed babe at a time. Be gone fake tan woes, hello bronzed glows.
Oh so smooth
Dry skin is a natural occurrence (unless you're applying our Luxe Lotion daily, then you wouldn't have a clue what we're talking about). You might find some of the driest parts of your body are your ankles, knees, elbows and hands.
Dry, dead skin and self tan just don’t go well together. These areas tend to attract the fake tanning mousse like a sponge, which in turn creates those uneven, dark patches you might find in the #faketanfails Instagram hashtag.
So banish dry skin and unwanted patches by exfoliating these areas prior to application. Use a toothbrush or nail brush to softly scrub ankles, knuckles, and knees to create a smooth canvas.
Lather it, love it
Moisturiser is a blessing and a curse when it comes to fake tanning. Applying it just before application creates a barrier on the skin, diluting the results of your fake tan. However, it's a saviour for dry areas on your body (hey hands and feet, we're talking about you). Applying a moisturising barrier to these areas pre-tan will prevent excess product building up, helping you achieve the most flawless, even result.
Apply a pearl size amount of Luxe Moisturiser to your palms, covering the area and working it over your fingers, knuckles and lightly to the top of your hands. Follow this same process for your feet. You want to place it wherever the skin is more coarse (think the sides of your feet, achilles heel, ankles).
Hello flawless
So whether your a beginner or tanning expert, a self tanning mitt is what you need by your side. The velvet like fabric is made from microfibres that help distribute the product evenly on your skin. Plus they won’t absorb the fake tan, meaning no product wastage - hooray! But why stop there, our Luxe Tanning Mitt creates a barrier guaranteeing there are no ‘fake tan hands’ to be seen.
Pro tip: wash your tanning mitt after each application in warm soapy water for the most seamless application time and time again.
Baby got back
Tanning your back can have you looking like you're participating in an advanced yoga class, until now. There'll be no dislocated limbs here, just a tanning mitt and large mixing spoon needed. Place the mitt over the spoon, secure it with a hair tie. Apply two pumps of our Self Tanning Mousse to the mitt and use long sweeping motions, first moving down your back then side to side until the product is evenly distributed. It's as easy as that, now you've just got to decide which backless mini dress will you be wearing tonight.
