Bronzers as Correctors
Some women have more color on their face and chest and less on their neck. Use bronzer to warm up the paler skin on the neck. For those with very red areas,
sunspots, or rosacea, bronzers can be used to even out the skin tone.
Self-Tanner
Use self-tanners to add color to any area of the body including the face. It’s an easy way to mask cellulite and veins on the legs. On the face, self-tanner can
brighten up a tired complexion. It can be difficult to decide which product to use so it’s important to test in a hidden spot before applying all over.
Self-Tanner Application
Prepare the skin. Always apply self-tanner to clean, smooth, makeup-free skin. It is best to exfoliate first if there are any rough patches. Knees, elbows, and heels
are often areas with coarse, dry skin.
Apply a light, even layer. Wait for the color to develop, and then apply a light second coat for a deeper tan. It is easier to build color than to fix mistakes.
Do not forget to apply the product to the neck and ears for a natural-looking result.
Wash your hands immediately after using self-tanner. The product will stain palms and the skin between the fingers.
Wait ten minutes after applying self-tanner to the face before applying any other makeup or getting dressed.
Most self-tanners take an hour or more to develop into a “tan,” so plan ahead.
Troubleshooting: Dark or Streaky Self-Tanning Results
Fade overly dark color by exfoliating the skin in the shower with a washcloth or loofah. Then, thoroughly clean the skin with cold cream or baby oil. Some self-
tanners can be removed with lemon juice. Fix streaks by applying an additional light coat of self-tanner on the lightest parts of the skin.
