Tanning beds became a bit of a craze a couple of years ago but since people have started to realise the dangers they’re giving them a wide birth and many more people are opting for the bottled tan. There aren’t many people nowadays who walk around flaunting their natural skin colour as fake tanning has become so popular. You can guarantee that in the bedroom of any teenage or adult female there’ll be a bottle of fake tan and a fake tanning mitt that’s been turned orange due to the amount of times it’s been used.

The popularity of fake tan doesn’t mean that people know how to apply it properly and it certainly doesn’t mean that people have mastered the flawless summer glow. Making your fake tan look good isn’t just about choosing the right shade or the best brand it’s about preparing your skin for the treatment.

In order to avoid the orange, patchy look, your skin should be in tip top condition before you start. Rough skin is the worst base for fake tan so it’s essential that you exfoliate and moisturise before application. Try Dermalogica’s Exfoliating Body Scrub and Body Hydrating Cream. The exfoliator removes any dead or dulling skin cells so that it is only new skin that is tinted when you tan. After exfoliating, moisturising is essential in order to leave your skin silky and smooth. After all of this preparation people will think you’ve been to the Caribbean for a fortnight, not cheated with a bottle.

Regular exfoliation is essential but it’s the beauty step that everyone forgets, and although a breakout of spots may remind you to exfoliate your face, what about the rest of your skin? You have skin all over your body and it all goes through the same processes as the skin on your face, so why is it treated any differently?

As the pores on your face clog up, the pores on your body does the same. This is a build-up of dead skin cells that haven’t fallen away and haven’t been removed, it can make the skin feel dry and rough so it’s important to exfoliate, not only to remove the skin cells but also to soften and condition the skin.

Acne sufferers don’t tend to only suffer with it on their face so exfoliating the entire body means that acne that’s not on the face can be prevented; it also evens the skin tone and keeps the skin hydrated and soft.

Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub is the perfect all over body exfoliator that is intended to polish and reenergise the skin.

Remember to exfoliate two or three times a week to keep acne at bay and keep your skin in tip top condition.
