How To Get A Natural Looking Tan

Now, I'm going to show you how to create a natural looking tan. Now, so many of my celebrity clients come to me, and they are like, “Abby, how do we look natural at home? We don't want to overdo it when you are not there to professionally spray tan us”. So, of course, the advice that I give them, the first advice is always to exfoliate and hydrate your skin.

Make sure that it's got no existing product on so it's no moisturizer, no body oils, no deodorant, no perfumes. You want to have a completely clean canvas for your skin and then I'll just show you how to apply it. So, basically, the first thing that I teach my celebrity clients is how to use the organic aloe vera spray, then take a buffing mitt and the first thing that you would want to do is you just want to buff your skin.

You just want to remove any dead skin cells, any deodorants, any perfumes, any dry flaky skin at the front of the legs and then actually remove the buffing mitt and feel your skin. Does it feel soft and does it feel hydrated? If it does, then your skin is ready for tanning. If it doesn't, keep exfoliating until it feels silky soft and really hydrated.

Then what I always recommend to my clients is be really be careful of the percentages of color that you want to do at home especially when you're a celebrity client because the last thing that you want is to go out and look over done. So I always recommend a light color, a 4 percent DHA product. Now, the first thing I always say is when you are ever applying a fake tan product to your arms or to your legs for that reason, always stay 2 inches away from the wrists and hands and on the legs, 2 inches away just before the ankle.

Blend upwards and make sure the product is properly blended all into the skin. You can feel it going into the skin. Take your time and when it comes to coming to the wrist and hand area, take the existing little bit of product that you've got on your hands and just drag it down lightly, just flick it over the fingers.

What you never want to do, is take your product and put it on the back of your hand and start blending it round because then, you're going to end up with two heavy colors on the hands and around the wrists and that looks fake. I always want you to think of this, girls, if you've gone too little on your hands, on your feet, you can always use a little bit of blusher blush so you can always just improve the color the next day a little. It's always best to have a little less tan than too much.

And that's the best way to get a natural looking tan. .
