Preparing for Self Tanners

Self tanners are the big buzz right now. Everybody wants that bronzed look, and they want it as quickly as they can get it. Self tanners are a great way to get the look you want without causing the damage that the sun (and even tanning beds) can do. So how do you prepare your skin for self tanners?

First you want to exfoliate your entire body, concentrating on the areas of they body that are normally more dry. Try L’Occitane Exfoliating and Defining Delicious Paste. Use it in the shower and rinse it off. Follow with a good body moisturizer like Phytomer HydraContinue Moisturizing Body Milk. Be sure to apply it all over, especially on the dry areas of the body, such as the elbows and knees.

Wait 10-15 before applying your self tanner to that your body moisturizer has enough time to fully penetrate the skin. Self tanners that I like are ProCyte Ti-Tan Foaming Self Tanner or Phytomer’s BronzPerfect.
