Self-tanning is literally the best thing since sliced bread! Gone are the days of slathering yourself in tanning oil and lying out in the sun until you’re crispy or laying in the tanning bed for days. You literally can apply self-tanning mouse before you go to bed and wake up bronzed and looking gorg like you’ve been tanning in Bora Bora for weeks.
My all time favorite is the Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mouse in Dark. It goes on smooth and doesn’t streak and leaves my skin with a tan that looks like the real deal!
Here are some tips for applying it before bed…
Shave and exfoliate in the shower. Kopari Coconut Melt is bomb when it comes to removing makeup and gunk from your skin. (I use Zena Foster Polished Mittens to scrub away dead skin and prep my skin for a perfect tanning pallet).
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline over your dry areas (knees, elbows, ankles) so the product won’t cling to the skin.
Apply the mouse with a tanning glove. Loving Tan has a great one that holds up use after use.
Let it dry completely before putting on clothes, which will make sure it doesn’t streak or crease.
Sleep in light and airy clothing. I like to wear long sleeves and long pants after I tan so it won’t rub off on my sheets.
Lastly slip on our sleep mask and wake up looking bronzed and glowing!
