Achieving a flawless, streak-free tan with self tanning products can feel intimidating if you’re new to the process. But with the right techniques, (and the right products...) anyone can master the perfect glow. Whether you’re a first-time tanner or an experienced self tanner enthusiast, these tips will ensure an even, golden glow without streaks or spots. Let’s dive into the ultimate streak-free self tanning guide.
1. Exfoliate Before Application
The first step in creating an even tan is prepping your skin. Use a gentle body scrub to remove dead skin cells, dry patches and any remnants of last week's self-tan that can interfere with the self tanner's ability to adhere evenly.
2. Moisturise Your Skin
After exfoliation, apply a light, non-greasy moisturiser to any dry spots (elbows, knees, hands, and ankles). This ensures that these areas won’t absorb too much product and create uneven patches.
3. Use a Tanning Mitt
Invest in a self tanning mitt to apply your product seamlessly and evenly in order to avoid staining your hands. A mitt acts as a buffer that blends product smoothly onto the skin to avoid streaking.
4. Apply in Circular Motions
When applying the Noosa Tan 1-hour Express Mousse, use gentle, circular motions to avoid creating lines or streaks.
5. Avoid Over-Applying
Too much product can lead to streaking - aim for light, even layers. If you prefer a darker shade, apply more layers using the same method!
6. Stick to the Right Tools
A tanning brush can help you blend the product into the more intricate areas, like your hands and feet.
7. Wear Dark, Loose-Fitting Clothes
After application, allow a few minutes for your self tan to dry before putting on any clothes - this prevents transfer and uneven patches. Make sure to choose dark, loose-fitting clothes to avoid staining!
8. Keep Your Skin Dry Post-Application
Avoid all moisture including water, perfume and deodorant for an hour once your Noosa Tan 1-hour Express Mousse has been applied. Moisture can wash away the tan before it has time to develop.
9. Cover Your Furniture
Even though Noosa Tan 1-hour express mousse will have you looking radiant within an hour, it's still best to cover up any furniture you plan to use while you're waiting! Try using an old towel or sheet when sitting or lying down.
Conclusion
With these tips your self tanning application will be a breeze. A streak-free, golden glow is all about preparation, patience, and the right application techniques. Follow these steps, and your Noosa Tan will be looking flawless in no time.
