Professional tanning brand LDN : SKINS know a thing or two about re-creating a Hollywood glow, combining elite salon treatments with easy to use at-home products.
With cold winter nights closing in, and dull weather taking its toll on our skin, LDN : SKINS’ range of products are easily absorbed for a flawless and effective tan.
StyleNest team up with LDN : SKINS to bring you ten tanning top tips, ensuring you keep that post summer holiday sun-kissed glow, even during the chillier months.
- Ensure you wax or shave at least 24 hours before applying your tan to prevent irritation to your open pores.
- Make sure to exfoliate at least 24 hours before applying your tan using the Foaming Exfoliator, to cleanse and polish your skin for a more even long lasting tan. It’s also great for removing a build up of un-wanted product if you’re a tanning addict.
- Keep your skin hydrated and nourished with our Moisturising Lotion for a more radiant glow. Pay particular attention to typical problem dry areas including wrists, hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet to stop your tan being patchy. Alternatively, applying Vaseline to dry areas can be a quick fix for the perfect Tan.
- Before application, your skin needs to be clean and dry and free of perfume and deodorant to get the best out of your LDN : SKINS tan.
- Cover your palms with our Professional Tanning Mitt to prevent miscoloured hands. The velvet-touch mitt with non-slip lining also gives a smoother application by gliding over your skin.
- Use 2/3 pumps of product at a time to avoid tan build up.
- Use long circular motions to gently smooth the tan over your skin, there is no need to over rub as the product will dry quickly.
- Use the guide colour on each LDN : SKINS box to see where you have already applied the tan and ensure you are fully covered from every angle.
- When applying to your face, use the Self-Tan Lotions and Mousses like a face moisturiser, gently massaging around your features and blending into your hairline and down your neck.
- Make sure you gently swipe over the tops of your hands, feet and knees – remember you want a natural looking glow.
