Product Information

Fake tanning is a skill that can take time to perfect. For best results, start with a pre-tan prep. This will help you achieve the most natural fake tan. Celebrity tanner James Read suggests you exfoliate and wax 24 hours beforehand and avoid facials and massages 48 hours before you tan. Use wipes to remove old tan not always visible to the naked eye. Use an electric shaver when shaving your legs after tanning. This will remove the top layer of your hair and not your self tan. As the last in our series of food-based stains, sauces, particularly tomato sauces, are also a very common source of stains on bedding. Maybe you were slurping a bit too overzealously on your spaghetti dinner and your bedding has paid the price. Any similar sauce-based food will leave a stain on your bedding that can be challenging to remove. Find an empty container (like a bowl or basin) and place it beneath the red wine stain on the bedding.

Good prepping also avoids self-tanning fails such as blotchy legs, streaky arms and tell-tale orange palms. Moisturise dry areas such as hands, knees, elbows and feet to stop fake tan clinging to dry body areas. Lightly moisturising a dry face and spots will also help you achieve an even finish. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Self-tanning done badly can be less forgiving on those with light skin tones.

Be sure to follow the care label instructions on your bedding to avoid any damage. Additionally, avoid overloading the dryer to ensure even drying and reduce the risk of wrinkles or creases.A soft, creamy body lotion that deepens in colour the more you use it Preparing your skin for fake tan We all know the sun’s UV rays and tanning beds can be bad for us but who doesn’t love a little summer glow? Forget baking under artificial lights or lying in the sun, today’s savvy beauties are using fake tan to protect their skin and get that fresh from the beach year-round summer glow. Lastly, bear in mind the colours of your bedding. If the stain is on a white or light-coloured sheet, you may need to take extra care to avoid discolouration while cleaning. For dark-coloured bedding, some staining may remain visible after cleaning, depending on the fake tan's colour and depth. Because it's so fast-absorbing, I never have to stress about it staining anything, either. To keep my white linen sheets safe, I tend to apply this first thing, as the last step in my skincare routine, before I apply my make-up. It keeps my skin looking glowing and dewy all day long." Shannon Lawlor, Acting Senior Beauty Editor What are tanning waters? There is no indication that fake tan is bad for your skin if applied correctly. Many people are curious about the ingredient that serves up that golden glow. DHA is the active ingredient that reacts with the top layer of dead skin cells and alters the pigment. As it’s only reacting with the top layer of dead skin, this is why your fake tan only lasts for around seven to ten days as your skin naturally sheds and rejuvenates. The levels of DHA in most self-tanners is between 3% and 5% which is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic.

Be careful where you stand when you apply your fake tan, keep away from porous surfaces, like wooden floors, or tiles with grout, as these can absorb fake tan easily. We’d recommend standing on a towel and putting the bath mat away when fake tanning. For wool and silk, treat these fabrics with a warm solution of washing-up liquid and water. Follow this up with a 30C wash. Tanning waters often come in the form of a clear spray, and can be used both on the face and body for an all over glow. According to Lookfantastic, tanning water "blends water, skin-loving vitamins and active tanning ingredients to hydrate, soften and tan your skin in one step." For silk and wool, rub the stain with a warm solution of washing-up liquid, then wash your clothes as per the washing instructions.Have a dressing gown at the ready and a towel for fake tanning days, such as the Tielle Chocolate Brown and Mochatowels used in 5* hotels and spas. Work some liquid laundry detergent into the chocolate stain and allow this to rest for about 5 minutes.

Some unavoidably common stains on bedding are areas of discolouration from sweat and body oils. It’s natural for us humans to sweat and shed while we sleep; as a natural consequence, our bodily excretions contain substances that can cause white bedding to turn yellow. And, if you think that using more deodorant would reduce this staining, think again; the aluminium in deodorant mixes with chemicals in your sweat, which actually results in more noticeable yellow stains. With all of that in mind, even the most cleanly individuals will face sweat stains on their bedding from time to time.

Once you are satisfied with the results, choose between air drying or tumble drying your bedding. For air drying, hang the bedding outside or in a well-ventilated area, preferably under direct sunlight. This method helps remove any lingering odours and lets the fabric breathe, ensuring a fresh scent for your bedding. Choose Lighter Tan Shades : Opt for lighter shades of fake tan, which can lead to less staining on your bedding.
