DIY Tanning Tips and Tricks: Enhance Your Client’s Self-Tanning Experience

Achieving a sun-kissed glow at home is more accessible than ever with the right techniques. Whether your clients are new to self-tanning or looking to perfect their routine, these practical tips will help them achieve a natural-looking tan every time. Use this guide to support your clients and highlight the benefits of Sjolie Sunless products.

Encourage your clients to start with smooth, exfoliated skin for an even application. A gentle scrub will remove dead skin cells, focusing on areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This step helps the tan go on more evenly and last longer. Exfoliating creates a smooth canvas, preventing the tanner from clinging to dry patches and ensuring a uniform, natural finish.

Before applying self-tanner, clients should moisturize with a lightweight, oil-free lotion. Emphasize the importance of paying special attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to prevent darker spots. Hydrated skin helps the tanner glide on smoothly and ensures an even distribution of color.

Advise your clients to use a small amount of self-tanner and blend thoroughly in circular motions. A tanning mitt or latex gloves can prevent staining of the hands and nails. Starting from the legs and working upward, applying sparingly to areas prone to absorbing more product, like knees and elbows, helps build up color gradually and avoid streaks.

For the face, clients should mix a small amount of self-tanner with their facial moisturizer to achieve a natural look. They should blend well into the hairline, jawline, and neck to avoid harsh lines. For the hands, using a minimal amount and wiping the palms with a damp cloth helps prevent overly dark areas.

Clients should let the self-tanner dry completely before dressing to avoid smudges or streaks. Most products need several hours to develop fully, so applying them before bedtime is ideal. Advise them to avoid sweating or getting wet during this time to ensure an even, long-lasting tan.

To prolong the tan, clients should moisturize daily with a gentle, hydrating lotion. This keeps the skin soft and supple, helping the tan fade evenly. Recommend avoiding long, hot showers or baths, as these can accelerate fading. When the tan starts to fade, gentle exfoliation will help remove any remaining product before reapplication.

If clients notice streaks or uneven patches, they can use a gentle exfoliator to buff away excess tanner and moisturize the area to blend the color. For quick fixes, a mixture of body lotion and lemon juice can help lighten darker areas. These tips can correct minor imperfections and ensure a more natural-looking tan.

With these simple tips, achieving a gorgeous, sun-kissed tan at home is within reach for your clients. Encourage them to experiment with different products and techniques to find what works best for their skin type and desired tan intensity. They can enjoy a healthy glow year-round without the risks of UV exposure.
