Struggling with applying fake tan well? We solve all your common problems *affiliate
I have a love-hate relationship with self-tan. Love the undeniable pick-me-up it gives to skin, hate the time, effort, prep work, drying time, inevitable stained palms…the list goes on. When I CAN be bothered, despite the sizable amount of time in the bathroom slathering, rubbing and buffing, still very rarely do I get the flawlessly bronzed finish I’m looking for.
“My tan takes too long to dry!” There are usually a good few infuriatingly long minutes waiting while the tan dries – cue having to waft around in various states of undress until your skin stops feeling sticky. “The tan you choose will affect the drying time,” says Michaella. “A mousse will dry quicker than a lotion or gel due to its higher alcohol content.” The pros also suggest speeding up drying time by using a hairdryer on its cool setting over your body.
“Tan always transfers onto my bedsheets!” In an unlucky piece of routine scheduling, my tanning day almost always happens to also fall on bed-changing day – and nothing takes the joy out of a fresh, clean white bedding than seeing it immediately covered in orange streaks. Instagram laughed when social media sensation Mrs Hinch slept inside an old single duvet cover after applying fresh applied tan, but she may well be onto something.
“My tan fades too quickly!” Ever feel like your lovely glow quickly seems to quickly disappear down the plughole? Again, diligent aftercare will help, but I love Vita Liberata Tanning Elixir for its staying power. Formulated using a slow-release DHA system, in a clever bit of tan mathematics the rate of development seems about equal to the rate of fade, ensuring that the initial colour remains for a good 5-7 days.
