Pre-Tan Pampering: The Key to Flawless Results

The secret to a stunning tan starts with proper preparation—especially when you’re dealing with dry skin! Don’t worry; it might sound like a lot of work, but it’s simple and absolutely worth it.

Begin with a long, relaxing soak in a warm bath. This is the perfect excuse to indulge in some self-care! To enhance hydration, add moisturizing bath products like bath bombs or bath milk. They’ll leave your skin feeling soft and ready for bronzing.

After your soak, gently exfoliate your skin with a mild scrub. This step helps remove dead skin cells, creating a smooth canvas for your self-tanner.

Once you’re out of the bath, pat your skin dry and apply your favorite moisturizer. For best results, wait at least an hour before applying your self-tan, allowing the moisturizer to soak in and work its magic.

Time to Tan!

When it’s time to tan, we recommend using a lotion for the best results. Consider Boë No.3 Tan Lotion or Tan Maximizer No.4, which serves as both an after-sun treatment and self-tanner. For an even more personalized approach, mix your go-to moisturizer with Boë No.1 Tan Drops to create your ideal self-tanner for dry skin.

These products are designed with hydration in mind, ensuring that your skin stays moisturized while you achieve a gorgeous glow. They’re perfect for sensitive skin, combining soothing properties with a stunning, natural tan.

If lotion isn’t your preference, try Tan Water No.2. This innovative product provides a radiant glow while infusing your skin with essential hydration and repair. Its colorless, fragrance-free formula is quick-drying and gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.

For the best application, use your hands to apply the product, working it into your skin with circular motions. This technique ensures an even, streak-free finish that enhances your natural beauty.

Don’t forget about your face! To combat dryness, apply a rich moisturizing cream as your night cream before bed, ensuring you wake up with beautifully hydrated skin.

All four of our products are sensitive to your skin and will provide your with hydration and a golden glow.

Maintain Your Tan for a Lasting Glow

To keep your tan looking fabulous, we recommend reapplying your self-tanner every second or third day. While it’s not necessary to exfoliate every time, doing so occasionally will help maintain an even, natural look.

Regular moisturizing is crucial; it not only keeps your skin soft and hydrated but also prolongs the life of your tan. With these simple steps, you can maintain that sun-kissed glow for longer!
