Michelle Shows You How to Apply Your Cocktail Tan at Home

Our lovely Michelle is madly in love with Cocktail Spray Tan Can, and she wanted to share with all of you her tips for a great even application at home. No need not to look fabulous in lockdown!

We love the cameo from little Lucy too, I'm sure all the Mammies have similar going on at the moment.


We also have some advice on prepping your skin before tanning and how to look after your tan once it has developed:

Before Tanning
 
  • Exfoliate your body fully in the days running up to tanning, paying particular attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles etc. and moisturise well.  The smoother and fresher your skin is the more even your tan will apply and will last longer.
  • When applying your tan, make sure you have no moisturisers, make-up, deodorant or perfumes on
  • Remove all jewellery
  • If your nails are bare, it can be useful to apply a coat of clear nail polish on fingers and toes to prevent staining
  • Have a set of dark, loose clothing ready, preferably in natural fibres
  • Do not wear leggings, skinny jeans or tights after you apply your tan
  • Loose flip flops are advisable footwear.  Avoid boots or flat pumps as they will mark your feet
 
 After Tanning
 
  • The Cocktail Tan Spray Tan Can takes 4 hours to develop.
  • Avoid water for 4 hours.
  • Do not rub the palms of the hands off any tanned areas during this time.
  • Showering – lather up well all over and rinse off until the water runs clear.  Do not worry about any brown coming off, this is just the guide colour.
  • If you are happy with your tan, moisturise well.
  • If you are not happy with the application you can easily re-apply a layer to even out or to go a shade darker, just remember not to apply products  beforehand.
  • Wash your hair separately from your body as some shampoos can strip tan, Head and Shoulders in particular is known to do this.
  • Avoid anti-aging shower gels as they can also strip your tan.
  • Any products that you use that contain AHAs, retinol etc. will also affect your tan. 
  • Once you are happy with your tan results, keep your skin well moisturised. Begin to exfoliate gently around the 3rd/4th day

We have Michelle's favourite Tan in Medium (10%), as well as the Extra Dark (14%) and Tan Remover available on our brand new online store,  just click on the menu bar above.

We will be adding lots more products over the next few days. Meanwhile enjoy Michelle's video and we will update with her after pics xx

Blog Update:

Here are the after pics of Michelle's tan once it developed and she had a shower.  It looks so natural and blends so well with the natural colour she has picked up on the top of her body in the recent good weather.  Great job Michelle xx
