How To Get A Dark Tan

Hi, my name is Abigail Oleck and I'm the founder of Beaubronz and spray tanning to the stars, and I'm going to show with you my top tanning tips. Ok, so now I'm going to show you how to get a dark tan at home. Now, in the salon, we typically use between 8 and 10.

5% of DHA. Now, that's sure self-tanning agent. So if you want a dark tan at home, you want to look for a product that's about 8 percent DHA.

So, what I'm going to show you here is the mouse products that I've got and this is an 8% color. Now, you can use this anywhere on your body, but I do recommend to use a lighter color on your feet and on your hands. I'm going to show you how to apply it.

So, when you are applying a professional strength color like an 8% mouse, you want to take your time with it. You also want to make sure that you use a tanning mix, so that you don't get any color onto your hands. And you want to apply the tan in circular movements and I suggest, just take your time with it.

At first, it looks a bit messy, but just keep going, keep blending and sooner or later, that lovely golden tan will start to come free. So, we're just going to blend in circular movements and making sure that we don't go onto the top of the foot and you can already start to see now that that's developing into a very rich golden color. Now, this is going to take eight hours to actually fully develop, however it's got quite a strong cosmetic color and that's very good if you're sort of like at the last minute, you're going out in a short dress and you realize that your legs are pasty white, not a good look, so that's the time to get your dark mouse out and just take a little bit of time with it, I'd say to do a whole body application at home, you want to give yourself about 20 minutes, you can see that just this area of my legs, taking my time and taking me at least 2 minutes, so you want to give yourself a good 20 minutes, take your time, lots of circular movements, and already you can start to see that I'm developing into a really lovely dark tan.

Now the way to maintain that tan once you've got it is to use a product that's got a 1% DHA because what's that going to do is just keep it very strong and even and maintain it and make sure it fades really evenly. .
