Perfect Your Self Tanning Routine For A Flawless Glow At Home

Achieving a flawless self-tan can be a bit of a challenge! When you first start applying a self-tanning mousse at home, there is, without a doubt, a learning curve to take into consideration. It might take a few attempts to perfect your technique, but with the right guidance, tips, and practice, you can establish a self-tanning routine that consistently results in a natural-looking tan, all from the comfort of your home. If you’ve struggled in the past with uneven color or those telltale signs of over-application on your hands and feet, we’ve got a comprehensive guide just for you. Below, we present to you our step-by-step process for effortlessly applying self-tanner to ensure a flawless and naturally beautiful outcome every time.

Quality Products
The initial step in achieving a high-quality self-tan is selecting the right self-tanning product. We strongly recommend doing your research and taking a look into ingredient labels on the tanning products you choose. Opting for products enriched with skin-nourishing and hydrating ingredients will result in a more natural, longer-lasting tan. This is why our X-Tan customers have fallen in love with our Super Hydrating Self Tanning Mousse. Formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and kakadu plum, which promote collagen and elastin production, you can enjoy a radiant bronze glow that rejuvenates the skin for a more youthful look and feel.

Applicator
Apply the mousse onto a self-tanning mitt designed for even, streak-free coverage. It may be to your surprise, but the applicator used for self-tanning mousse can significantly impact how the mousse applied and develops on the skin. Everyone who uses self-tanning mousse at home aspires to achieve a natural-looking result that is free of streaks. Choosing a mitt like the X-Tan Streak-Free Self Tanning Mitt, made with velour fabric that evenly distributes the product on the skin, ensures flawless results and a more straightforward and efficient application process so you can always achieve a seamless glow!

Work in Sections
To achieve the best application, it’s advisable to work your routine by applying the mousse in circular motions using the tanning mitt to specific sections of your body. For instance, apply the tanning mousse to one arm at a time, then proceed to the chest and torso, treating each leg separately, and so forth. This approach allows you to concentrate on one body area at a time so that you can achieve complete coverage and eliminate the risk of any missed spots.

Hands, Feet, and Face
The hands, feet, and face present unique challenges when it comes to applying self-tanning mousse for a natural and even tan. Even for a seasoned spray tan technician, these areas can be tricky to work with due to differences in skin texture, particularly dryness. Dry skin is known for absorbing too much DHA and can lead to over-saturation, resulting in an unnatural or “orange” tint. For the most flawless application on the hands, feet, and face, we suggest applying lotion to the ankles and knuckles of fingers and toes first. Then, apply a small amount of mousse to these areas using a soft brush. This precise and even application method can be achieved with X-Tan’s Blending Brush, featuring a dual-headed design for a streak-free application with the soft brush side and a blending sponge that seamlessly buffs out tanning mousse for a more natural result.

Within minutes, you’ll achieve a fresh, radiant skin tone right at home, making self-tanning a quick and effortless process. Furthermore, as a sunless tanning expert, you have the opportunity to provide your clients with premium sunless tanning products from X-Tan. Our Super Hydrating Self Tanning Mousse, paired with our streak-free mitt and blending brush, forms the ultimate self-tanning trio that your clients are sure to adore.
