Get Your Skin Ready for the Best Summer Tan Ever!

Summer’s coming, and it’s time to get that golden glow! But before you hit the sun, it’s super important to prep your skin so your tan looks even, lasts longer, and stays healthy. No one wants patchy, flaky skin messing up their summer vibes, right? Follow these easy steps to get your skin ready for the ultimate sun-kissed look.

1. Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Exfoliation is your best friend when it comes to prepping for a tan. If you don’t get rid of dead skin cells, your tan could turn out uneven or fade super fast. Use a gentle body scrub or an exfoliating mitt a couple of times a week, especially on rough spots like elbows, knees, and ankles. Smooth skin means a smooth, flawless tan!

2. Moisturise Like a Pro

Hydrated skin tans better and holds onto that glow for longer. Start slathering on a good moisturiser daily leading up to summer. Look for ones with aloe vera, shea butter, or hyaluronic acid—they work wonders at keeping your skin soft and nourished. Don’t forget our creams and gels have all the ingredients to keep your skin moisturised while tanning and up to 24 hours after use!

3. Drink Up (Water, That Is!)

Moisturising on the outside is great, but keeping your skin hydrated from the inside is just as important. Try to drink at least 2 litres of water a day—your skin (and whole body) will thank you. Plus, hydrated skin means a more even, glowing tan!

4. Shave or Wax in Advance

If you’re planning on removing body hair, do it at least a day or two before tanning. Shaving or waxing right before can leave your skin irritated, and that’s not a good look when trying to tan.

5. Get a Head Start with a Tanning Enhancer

7. Don’t Skip the SPF!

A gorgeous tan should come with healthy skin, so never forget sunscreen! Always apply SPF especially for long periods in the sun. It keeps your skin protected from sunburn and aging while still letting you get that golden glow. And don’t forget to reapply, especially after swimming! Our creams and gels can be used on top of you SPF.

8. Keep That Glow Going

Once you’ve got your perfect tan, make it last! Moisturise daily, skip long hot showers, and keep drinking plenty of water. A good tan-extending lotion such as Sweet Bronze Intensifying Cream can also help keep that glow last  longer.
