Self Tanners

Many People have asked me about self tanners...Self tanners are not a permanent thing but should not be applied on the night before an important event.
  1. how self tanners work; they work by dyeing the top layer of the skin. They last about three to five days and gradually wear off.
  2. How do you apply self tanners?
    •  It depends on the product. Most self tanners have instructions on the bottle. The main way is squeezing the product into your hand and applying it. Then wash the product off of your hands because they absorb the color more than any other part of your body. Some products come with a clothlike glove. You put the product onto the glove and rub it into your skin. Always exfoliate your skin before using self tanners because of dead skin cells sitting on the top layer of your skin.
  3. Why does self tanner stink? Not all self tanner stinks, sometimes its the product and sometimes it the chemical reaction with your skin.
