May and June are the months when we can finally get rid of our warm jackets, and airy dresses are coming back into fashion. Unfortunately, in our climate, the skin is pale after winter and is far from radiant. Self-tanning products - foams or lotions - effectively give it a healthy color. However, many of our readers are afraid that applying a tanner will disfigure them instead of beautifying them. That is why they avoid oils or foams - for fear of ugly streaks and an unnatural appearance. GLOV has the answer to their needs - the revolutionary Tan Away and Tan Mitt gloves will make applying a self-tanner a piece of cake, and the skin will enjoy a beautiful tan for longer.
How to prepare your skin for applying self-tanner?
Proper skin preparation before applying self-tanner prevents streaks, makes application easier, and also makes the product wash off evenly and does not leave unsightly stains. Therefore, before applying self-tanner, we recommend thoroughly cleansing the skin and exfoliating with the GLOV Tan Away glove, especially around the knees and elbows, because in these places the skin is usually the driest and most calloused. The revolutionary exfoliating glove removes dead skin cells that absorb color too intensively and prevents the orange effect.
How should you apply self-tanner?
Many people have problems with applying self-tanner because even the best foam, spray or balm can leave stains, streaks and discolourations. That is why the GLOV Tan Mitt , a glove for applying self-tanning products, is ideal for application. This revolutionary glove fits perfectly to the hand and does not slip, thanks to which it protects hands and nails from dirt. It is best to apply the self-tanner evenly, gently but firmly massaging the product into dry skin until it is fully absorbed. We definitely do not recommend using balms, butters or other greasy cosmetics before application. An important factor in favour of using the Tan Mitt is also the fact that the glove not only does not absorb the product, but actually makes the use of the cosmetic minimal. Saving money and ecology in one!
How to choose the right shade of tan?
Depending on the preferred effect, if we want to achieve a subtle skin color, it is worth choosing a self-tanner in a light shade. We can achieve a stronger effect gradually, e.g. by using the product several days in a row. For darker complexions, we recommend a medium shade, but if we want to achieve the effect of a deeply tanned skin quickly, we recommend a dark shade. The obtained color also depends on our own skin tone, the amount of product applied and the frequency of use - it is worth remembering that this is often a very individual matter.
How to care for your skin after applying self-tanner?
The durability of the self-tanner effect can effectively keep you awake at night, but proper care means that we can prolong the beautiful skin tone. All you need to do is regularly use a gentle peeling with the GLOV Tan Away glove to avoid marbling dry skin and get rid of unnecessary streaks. In turn, a vigorous massage can completely remove the self-tanner. Do you feel ready for the summer dress season? Applying a self-tanner really isn't that difficult. All you need to do is trust GLOV products.
