TAN BIBLE: How to get the perfect spray tan... AT HOME

A DIY spray tan in the comfort of your very own home is within reach, friends!
We're also talking about how to NAIL tanning your hands and feet - those super tricky areas.

Consider this your tanning tip bible:

Priming the canvas is key.

The secret here is: Exfoliate, shave and moisturising the DAY BEFORE you tan. We recommend coconut coffee scrub by Glow by Beca to exfoliate your skin.

This will ensure you get rid of any dead skin lingering on the surface, which will make your tan last longer, and avoid any patchiness.

Create your own colour.

Vani-T's Express Tanning Mousse means you can get colour quickly, and depending on how long you leave it will determine your colour.

Sun kissed: 1 hour
Medium: 2-4 hours
Dark: 4-6 hours
Ultra-dark: 8 hours

Leave this part until last.

Use a mitt to apply your tan, start with the limbs and simply use the excess tan left on the mitt to continue on to your hands.

As for the feet, apply the tan to your mitt and then put it on the top of your foot. Blend back and under the ankle, then to the sides and over the ankle.

Wear loose fitting clothing post-tanning to avoid any rubbing, and ensure you don't get any tan on your good clothes.

5. MOISTURISE

Once you've washed your tan off with warm water and pat dry gently, hit up dat moisturiser, to maintain tan for longer and avoid patchiness.
