Fake tan aftercare

Details on how to care for your skin after your sunless tanning treatment.

Extend the life of your tan with some easy-to-follow advice.

Caring for your tan is important if you’re keen to prolong your sun kissed colour for as long as possible. If you’ve had a spray tan over the weekend or chosen to fake tan from the comfort of your own home in preparation for Valentine’s day here are a couple of tips on ensuring that your bronzed and beautiful look lasts for days.

1.Avoid harsh face washes and body gels. Once you’ve achieved your golden glow do your best to stop using shower gel that dries out the skin. Opt for products that add moisture and hydration like eXotically rich face & body wash. This ultra-mild gel contains aloe vera and silk protein and is gentle enough for facial use. Formulated to add radiance to the skin, it has a delicate fragrance of lemongrass and ginger and will help the skin to retain its moisture levels – if the skin dries out, the top layer of cells that have been darkened with fake take will begin to be sloughed off and therefore reduce the life cycle of your tan.

2.Follow up with plenty of moisturiser. Do your best to replenish the loss of any moisture that does occur with a high quality moisturiser. The perfect choice is eXceptional radiance moisturising balm because it’s quickly absorbed by the body and has a non-greasy formula tleaving the skin looking vibrant and soft. Infused with mica beads, the balm gives the skin a beautiful luminescent sheen perfect for making you feel utterly gorgeous.
