Are you tired of streaky spray tans on your neck? Applying self-tanner to your face and neck can be a little tricky due to the natural movement and creases in the neck area. But don’t worry! With a few expert tips and the right products, like Boë’s hydrating self-tan lotions, you’ll achieve a flawless, natural glow without any streaks or patches. Let’s dive into how to apply self-tan to your neck and keep it looking perfectly smooth.
Why Does the Neck Area Get Streaky?
The neck area is unique. With every movement—whether looking up, down, or side-to-side—the skin on your neck creases and flexes. These natural creases, combined with the drying time of a spray tan, can sometimes cause streaks or lines. Sweat, skin texture, and excess product can add to the problem, resulting in an uneven tan. But there’s good news: Boë’s self-tan products dry quickly and are designed to minimize streaks, giving you a gorgeous glow that stays even and smooth.
How to Avoid Streaks on Your Neck: Preparation is Key
The best way to prevent streaks on your neck is by using high-quality self-tanning products that dry quickly and blend smoothly, like Boë’s No.3 Tan Lotion. Here are some essential tips:
- Stay Cool: Avoid sweating right after applying your self-tanner. Excess moisture can interfere with an even application, especially on the neck.
- Exfoliate Before Tanning: Gently exfoliate your neck to remove any dead skin cells. This helps the self-tanner adhere evenly and prevents any patchiness.
- Apply Self-Tanner Carefully: Use a small amount of product and apply it in light, circular motions across your neck. Don’t forget to blend up towards the chin and slightly down toward your collarbone for a seamless transition.
- Allow Time to Dry: Although Boë’s self-tanners dry quickly, it’s a good idea to give the product a few minutes to fully set. Try to keep your head steady to avoid creases while it’s drying.
How to Fix Neck Streaks and Patches
If you do end up with streaks, don’t worry! Here’s how you can correct them easily:
- Perfect the Look: Be sure to blend up towards your chin and down to your collarbone for a natural, sun-kissed look. This will help the tan look even, ensuring that your face, neck, and chest blend together seamlessly.
- Gently Remove Dark Patches: If you notice streaks or darker patches, use a warm, damp washcloth with a bit of baby oil to gently exfoliate the area. This will soften the top layer of the tanned skin, making it easier to even out.
- Blend the Tan with a Touch-Up: Once you’ve evened out the darker areas, reapply a small amount of Boë self-tanning lotion to the neck, focusing on gentle blending. Light circular motions will help the product distribute smoothly across the skin.
