This Friday, I present to you…A miracle product AND a step by step guide to achieving the perfect self tan look.
I am a keen self-tanner on a night out and I love the bronzed shimmering look but am yet to find a nice natural looking finish (preferably one that masks the smell of fake tan). Well, this is where Nuxe has come to the rescue. This fabulous shimmer oil can be used on both the body and face and the best thing about it, is that it can be used over other products such as self tanners and moisturizers without making them blotchy or affected in any way.
I will now talk you through a tried and tested way of getting a really great natural winter tan look, all in the comfort of your own home. I would highly recommend doing this process the day before you intend to go out as opposed to the night of a big party.
Bronzed Goddess Step 1:
Firstly, run a nice hot bath and use a tan detox product such as St Tropez Detox set. It is really important to use one of these sorts of products at least once a fortnight if you are a regular self-tanner because it gets rid of all the residue that make block your skins pores. They are so easy and simple to use, all you have to do is simply drop a few caps worth of the oil into your hot bath and let it do the rest.
Bronzed Goddess Step 2:
Then it is best to exfoliate from head to toe. It is important to do this as it will make sure that your skin is soft and free of any dead skin which could potentially clog up your fake tan and make it very unpleasent and unattractive! I would recommend buying exfoliating gloves (Superdrug, Boots etc all sell them). Paired with an exfoliating scrub, such as The Sanctuary Body scrub or Model Co Tan Remover, your skin will be soft and supple and streak free in no time.
Bronzed Goddess Step 3:
After you have rinsed yourself from any exfoliating residue, make sure you moisturize, especially around your ankles, knees and elbows.
Bronzed Goddess Step 4:
Once completely dry, apply a self tan product with a mitt (ALWAYS USE A MITT). I would recommend St Tropez original self tan mousse for a nice bronzed colour or Model Co Mousse for a longer lasting tan. Use the mitt to apply the mouse in circular motions and always try and get someone to help you with difficult to reach areas such as your back. Two top tips: Try and do the tanning in a room with as much natural lighting as properly and Do not forget your feet and hands!
Bronzed Goddess Step 5:
Lastly, leave your tan to dry for at least 45 minutes before putting on clothes and then sleep on it and relax. When you get up in the morning, have a shower and make sure you get rid of all the excess. You can make this streak free by lathering shower gel and cleaning all over.
Bronzed Goddess Step 6:
Lastly, about two hours before you go out, use a different mitt then used the day before and apply a light layer of Instant tan. I would recommend St Tropez Wash off or Rimmer Instant. Once dry (around 15 minutes), it is time to apply the Nuxe Oil to your body. Use all over, including face, for a beautiful shimmer finish. If you follow these guidelines, you really will have a natural glow- tried and tested J
Peace,
