How to: Sun-kissed skin

A beautiful tan in an instant? Conjure up a summer glow on your skin with our self-tanning products! What do you need to consider before applying your self-tanner and how do you achieve an even complexion without stains or streaks? Find out now in our Self-Tanning Guide.

Self-tanning: What do I need to look out for?

When it comes to self-tanning, preparation is everything. Flakes of dead skin and rough patches, e.g. on the elbows, can cause a more intensive tan to develop, creating a patchy look. It's important to scrub the skin thoroughly in order to avoid this! It's actually best to use your scrub 24 hours before applying your self-tanner to give your skin enough time to regenerate and ensure a streak-free finish.

A beautiful tan with no stains or streaks

To achieve an even tan, we recommend using your self-tanner sparingly. Application can be particularly tricky in hairy areas or in spots such as your knees and elbows, often leading to patches of fake tan. Our tip: Mix your self-tanner with your body lotion and apply it extremely carefully! Tanning mitts are also an essential – not only do they protect your hands, they also ensure an even skin tone.

Self-tanner: Apply the right amount

What is the right amount? It's best to build it up slowly: Preferably, you should apply your tanning cream sparingly every day until you have reached your desired shade of golden brown. After that, it’s enough to apply your self-tanner two or three times per week to freshen up your tan and make it last longer. Did you have a self-tanning accident? No problem – just take a bath! This opens up the top layer of your skin, allowing any unevenness to be scrubbed away more easily.
