1. First off, the most common cause of a patchy, uneven tan is dry skin!
-The night before you apply a tan, or go for an airbrush tan
it’s crucial to exfoliate your skin, get all those dead skin cells off! St.
Tropez has a Body Polish that works great for this!
-Apply plenty of moisturizer all over your body after your
shower to get your skin as silky as possible!
-Immediately before you apply self tanner, or come for an
airbrush tan make sure you moisturize all the problem areas on your skin
(wrists, hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet)!
2. Keep the product off your palms!
-When applying self tanner at home, make sure that you are
wearing latex gloves or using St. Tropez applicator mitt!
-After you apply the tanner all over your body, swipe the
backs of your hands with self tanner mixed with your moisturizer.
3. Make sure you don’t miss a spot!
-When applying self tanner at home make sure you cover every
spot. Don’t worry about going over the same area twice, but your tan could be
patchy if you miss a spot.
-Rubbing in your tan is not needed, just a smoothing
application is necessary and then the product takes over and will work its
magic! Too much rubbing can also be a cause for an uneven tan.
4. After applying your tan.
-You will want to wear dark, loose fitting clothing and avoid
anything tight fitting. Anything that is too tight and rubs up against the tan
can make the results a bit patchy.
-Avoid washing your hands as long as possible during the
development period (for a minimum of two hours), but if you can go the whole
recommended development time (which will be indicated on the product) without
getting your hands wet your results will be better.
5. Don’t let your tan fade too quick!
-Each product will last a different amount of time, but for
those of you (I’m guessing that’s everyone) who would like your tan to last
longer, try using St. Tropez Self Tan Intensifier every 2-3 days! This is one
of my favorite products, it will give your tan an extra boost when you start to
see it fading.
Gobare Aesthetic Studio is one of only two places that carry
the St. Tropez line in central Massachusetts! This line is the best of the best;
Miley Cyrus who is on the cover of Elle Magazine this month has a radiant glow from
St. Tropez. This is the best line I have ever come across and I highly
recommend coming in for an airbrush tan, or trying some of their at home
products! You can call us at 508-799-8833 or book online with us at https://www.vagaro.com/Gobare.
