Buy quality<\/h2>\n

We ain\u2019t saying break the bank but owning a boss ass tanning product will ensure you have the best bronze poss. Check out blogger reviews and ask your gal pals for tips.<\/p>\n

Prep that skin<\/h2>\n

Having the perf base is what\u2019s gonna make your tan stand out from the rest of \u2018em. We\u2019re talking hair removal 24 hours before application, exfoliation and a sh*t tonne of moisturising, focusing on them awkward areas like your knees and elbows.<\/p>\n

Invest in a tanning mitt<\/h2>\n

Cheap as chips and totes worth it, this handy \u2018lil tool will ensure an all even application. Distribute a small amount of product onto the mitt and apply to the skin in circular motions, gradually building up to your desired colour.<\/p>\n

Experiment with contouring<\/h2>\n

Applying darker and lighter tan on different areas of your body can create any appearance, from a fuller chest to a perkier booty. Super simple yet srsly effective, who needs the gym for a summer bod?<\/p>\n

Ensure you leave time to dry<\/h2>\n

Whether you leave your new warpaint to dry au natural or you give it a quick blast with the dryer, make sure you leave plenty of time for it to dry \u2018n do its magic.<\/p>\n

Maintain that bronze<\/h2>\n

Now you\u2019re slaying the sunkissed look, take care of your glow with baby body wash or lotion. Skip out on the oil based products and opt for delicate cleansers that will allow your tan to fade super naturally.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re easily intimidated, try a gradual tanner<\/h2>\n

Fake bakin\u2019 takes a bit of practise, so if you\u2019re totes new to the tanning hype try out a gradual tanning product. Simply apply a light, even layer before bed each night and awake to a beaut completion. Slaaaay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
