Welcome to our self-tanning guide—where a golden glow is within reach all year round! If you're dreaming of a natural-looking tan without the harmful UV exposure, you're in the right place. We’ve gathered seven of the most important tips to help you achieve a flawless sunless tan using Sunster self-tanner. Let’s dive into the secrets behind a healthy, radiant glow.
1. Prep your skin first
Before applying any self-tanner, prep is key. Exfoliate thoroughly to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth base. This helps your tan absorb evenly and last longer, giving you a more consistent finish with fewer patches.
2. Moisturize dry areas
Hydrated skin holds self-tanner better and develops a more natural tone. Moisturize well before application—especially on dry zones like elbows, knees, and ankles. For even better results, use a gentle moisturizer daily to help maintain your tan and prevent fading.
3. Apply with the right technique
Always use a self-tanning mitt to avoid stained palms and streaks. Apply in circular motions, starting from your feet and working your way up. Pay special attention to dry areas and make sure the product is evenly blended.
4. Build it up gradually
Want a deeper color? Our self-tanners are designed to let you control the result. Apply a light layer for a subtle glow, then repeat the next day for a richer tone. Gradual tanning gives the most natural-looking result—no harsh lines or surprises.
5. Avoid over-saturation
Some areas, like knees and elbows, tend to absorb more product. To avoid dark patches, apply only a light amount in those zones or use leftover product from the mitt. A little goes a long way in these spots.
6. Be patient
Don’t rush to get dressed or rinse off. Let your self-tanner dry completely before putting on clothes or getting into bed. This helps prevent transfer and ensures the product fully develops into an even, long-lasting tan.
7. Maintain the glow
To keep your tan looking fresh, moisturize every day. Choose a hydrating lotion without harsh alcohols or exfoliating ingredients. Well-moisturized skin helps your tan fade evenly and last longer.
