Beauty tan?

whats the best way of getting a tan with no sunshine and no streaks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and how much it cost?Beauty tan?
Fortunately today there are some great ways out there to fake a tan without stinking like stale biscuits and looking like a zebra.





You could find out if there's a local salon that does mist-on tans - Magic Tan or Jean-Paul Mist-on tan are both pretty good. The first time you go in can be a little daunting as you're sprayed from head to toe with tan but the wonderful thing is that it takes about 10-20 seconds and is dry as quickly ready for you to dress and be on your way. Prices tend to range from 拢15-25 per session and the effect can last for up to one week providing you have thoroughly exfoliated first and moisturise with a plain, gentle moisturiser daily afterwards. Without advocating poor personal hygiene, the more you bathe, the quicker the tan comes off!





Please don't go with the advice to use a sunbed - I can tell you from experience it is not worth it. I used to have a real babyface but within 6 months of using tanning beds I had some really irritating lines around my eyes and a dodgy mole that had to be surgically removed.





If you want to fake tan at home for a specific night out or event the use the spray on tans from Nivea (if you have a lighter skin tone and want a natural colouring) or Ambre Solaire or Garnier - priced about 拢8.99 although supermarkets do offers and boots often does 2 for 1. You can literally spray them on and they come out over a period of hours and come out really evenly with just a little caution. The ambre solaire is my personal favourite as it sprays at any angle and you can decide how dark by simply spraying more or less. http://www.boots.com/shop/product_detail鈥?/a>





To build up a natural gradual tan I seriously recommend Ambre Solaire Summer Skin body moisturiser http://www.boots.com/shop/product_detail鈥?/a> It's 拢3.99 and will last a few weeks or so depending on how much you use. It smells gorgeous, goes on and is absorbed easily without any greasy residue, and from the first use gives you a lovely natural glow. This could also be a great way to get used to self-tanning if you're worried about the results. Because you build the tan up gradually with daily use, any mishaps are easily gone over the next day! If you go for this option. Make sure you exfoliate once a week fully and start again so you don't get any build-up.





In terms of managing and getting the most out of your tan here's my must-dos and do nots:





MUST:


- Always exfoliate thoroughly before self-tanning


- Moisturise with a light, unscented body moisturiser all over before tanning


- Allow the moisturiser to be absorbed by the skin and dry before self-tanning


- Allow at least 12 hours after self-tanning before bathing, showering, or getting wet


- Moisturise daily after tanning with a light, unscented body moisturiser to prolong the tan


- Before tanning use extra moisturiser on knees, toes, heels, feet, elbows, palms, and fingers, nails and cuticles


- Wash your hands thoroughly after fake-tanning but being careful not to splash any other part of your body





DO NOT:


- Rub fake-tan into your hands or palms or feet


- Go swimming if you need your tan at it's best - the chlorine acts as an exfoliant


- Put make-up on straight after fake-tanning - give your tan time to develop before putting any products on your skin


- Wear tight or abrasive clothes after getting a salon tan - wear lose clothing for the journey home and avoid getting sweaty - give the tan time to develop


- Do not use too much tanning lotion in a bid to get a darker tan. For a darker tan wait until the next day and redo - otherwise it could spell disaster





I hope I haven't put you off self-tanning with my long answer - just making sure you get it right first time so you don't have to endure any of my past mistakes lol!





Dare to change your make-up - you can wear less foundation and go for bolder looks and colours with a tan. Or you can go more natural and still look gorgeous - choice is yours.





Good luck!Beauty tan?
You are best off getting it done at a salon the spray on.Cost around 拢30 depends which area you live.
Don't use a sunbed; use Nivea suntanning lotion which does work. You need to use it regularly to build up a really gorgeous colour. You don't need the sun for this.
go to tenerife 拢300
you can get a spray on tan that works well I think estee lauder still makes one.. it is about 28.00 but about 15.00 on ebay
get Jhonson's fake tan or dove fake tan it deosn't cost much about 拢5 tops and it works really well!x!
you can go to a tanning bed. i do.
I think Jean E's on to something.





(or at least, ON something).
