This is part of our complete guide on how to apply fake tan.
Beginner and expert tanners alike both flock to mousses and foams. They are one of the most popular ways to fake tan, partly because it’s easy and convenient if you know how. Make sure you have an applicator mitt and some tanning barrier cream before getting started.
Exfoliate 24 Hours Before Application
Before applying self-tan mousse, it’s essential to exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells and ensure that your skin absorbs the mousse evenly. If you exfoliate 24 hours before application, your skin has time to recover from the process. Just make sure you don’t use any products that may leave an oily residue on your skin, as they can cause streaking. Instead, use an exfoliating mitt or scrub, focusing on your knees, elbows, ankles and other dry areas.
Apply Tanning Barrier Cream to Dry Areas
Once you’ve waited 24 hours and are ready to apply the mousse, you’ll want to put tanning barrier cream on the dry areas of your body. These areas include the tops and sides of your feet, ankles, knees, tops and inside of your hands, wrists and elbows. This cream essential for getting a perfect fake tan. Without it, you risk having darker areas, which can look unnatural.
Apply Self-Tan Mousse
When it’s time to apply the self-tan mousse, make sure to wear an applicator mitt to prevent the product from staining your hands. Start at your feet and work your way up, applying the mousse in circular motions. Be sure to cover all areas evenly, including your face and neck, but don’t apply too much, as it will come out looking orange or patchy. It’s also best to apply the mousse at night so that you can sleep in it and rinse off in the morning.
Rinse After 8 Hours
Once you’ve left the self-tan mousse on for around eight hours, it’s time to rinse off in the shower. Use warm water and avoid using soap or body wash, as it can strip away the tan. Instead, gently rinse off the excess mousse until the water runs clear. Afterward, pat yourself dry with a towel, and you’re good to go!
