5 Tanning Mistakes That Are Slowing Down Your Deepest Darkest Look

Whether you're using sunbeds, tanning products, or both, these are some common mistakes that could be holding back your results then one of these might be the reason

1. Skipping Exfoliation

Dead skin cells act like a dull filter on your skin. If you’re not exfoliating before tanning, your tan won’t develop evenly or last long. We suggest you exfoliate 24 hours before tanning using a gentle scrub or mitt. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.

2. Not Moisturizing Properly

Dry skin doesn't hold a tan well especially when using sunbeds. What you should do is hydrate your skin daily with a non-oily moisturizer. After tanning, switch to tan-friendly hydration like aloe verra 

3. Showering Too Soon

Now this one  your not going to believe us but If you're using a tanning product (especially mousse, lotions, or spray tan), washing it off too soon can strip away the pigment. Yes its true, YOUR WASHING THE TAN AWAY ! To avoid this follow product instructions. Most self-tanners need 6–8 hours to fully develop — avoid sweating or showering during this time.

4. Overusing Sunbeds Without Skin Support

Using sunbeds frequently without nourishing your skin can lead to dryness, patchiness, or even skin damage which actually slows tanning results. Please be responsible and be aware of the dangers of unprotected UV light or to much.

5. Ignoring Product Build-Up

Layering product after product without proper cleansing can create a barrier that blocks your next tan from developing properly. Do a tan-removal day every 7–10 days using an exfoliating mitt and a gentle cleanser to start fresh.
