Glow Get Em'...Post Tan Tips To Keep Your Girl Glow Going

To get the most out of your glow, follow these simple steps:

Get Your Look!

While the tan develops wear dark loose long pants and long sleeve top. Skin on skin creates moisture which removes tan in the development process. Fabric will prevent this and help the tan to develop evenly.

No Splish Splashing!

Be careful around water while your tan is developing. If its raining on the day of your appointment bring an umbrella. Be careful when your doing little things like brushing your teeth, dishes etc.

Sud Up!

Don’t be afraid to really suds up – after your tan develops you may have excess solution sitting on the skin. Have a soapy shower and wait for the water to run clear.

NB. If you have had an express tan (a solution that you can shower anytime from an hour after your tan) just shower until the water runs clear so your tan has the best chance of developing over the next 12-18 hours. Your next shower (or your second one) is the one to soap up in.

Every shower thereafter, use soap minimally to prevent uneven fading.

Gently Does It!

Pat dry – be gentle with your tan when you jump out of the shower. Rubbing your skin will act as an exfoliator which will make your tan fade faster than if you pat dry. Gently does it gorgeous glowing girl!

Oil Up Baby!

Moisturize after showering (EVERY | SINGLE | TIME) – this is the most important step to get longevity out of your tan and it will also ensure that the tan fades evenly.

Avoid Sweat Sessions

Avoid any activity that will cause excessive perspiration for the first 12 hours following your tan.

Get Grainy

Once your tan starts to fade, start the process of exfoliation by using a grainy body product.

Sartorial to Space: Easy Elements

Classic black, white and tan have long been the elements of easy, casual and chic style and taking them into your space is no different. While wooden components take on the role of the tan, the look is a statement of understated cool. Try introducing the white element through luxe furs, then tan through wooden lamp bases and gorgeous tribal baskets and the black through artwork or a statement piece of furniture.
