If you’re a fan of Friends, you ‘ll remember that episode in which Ross ends up with a much deeper tan than he wanted, after undergoing one of those famous spray treatments that were so fashionable in the early 2000s. a Trump-esque orange hue could be another unwanted effect of applying too much product. To avoid this, Guerlain’s training director recommends applying the self-tanner little by little with gentle massages. Wait 30 minutes before deciding if you want to apply more product to achieve a more intense shade.
What if I have a beard?
There are products on the market, such as the Purity line from St. Tropez with very fast absorption and a light texture, which would be the one indicated for these cases. Laura Romero from Guerlain advises in any case to pay more attention when applying it and be more meticulous . “Apply on top of the anti-aging or moisturizing cream that is usually used. Start from top to bottom, taking a small amount of product. Start at the forehead, massaging gently and go down the cheekbones, nose, chin and neck, spreading the product very well and insisting on the hairline, nostrils and around the ears”. She also warns that if you have a long beard, the product could dye it, so it would be more advisable to avoid it.
For the rest of the body hair, if you don’t wax, the only consideration is exfoliation and applying from bottom to top.
With all this, is there anything else that could go wrong?
Tanja Tadic from St. Tropez says that self-tanners dry very quickly and no longer stain clothes, just waiting a few minutes before putting on clothes would be enough. Laura de Romero from Guerlain, points out that the most important thing is to remove rings if they are worn and when you finish applying the product, wash your hands immediately, especially the palms, to prevent them from being dyed. And she gives us some advice: “If there is an area in which you have inadvertently left more of it because you have not spread it well, you can remove a little with lemon and baking soda“.
Once the tone we want is achieved, it will suffice to repeat the same process every two or three days. And now that you know everything, we leave you a selection of products for you to get down to work.
