How to Get an Even, Streak-Free Tan? Proven Tricks for a Perfect Results
Uneven tan lines, streaks, and dark spots are the most common problems when using self-tanners or bronzing lotions. Fortunately, with proper care and the right product, you can easily achieve a smooth, even, and natural-looking tan—without any unsightly surprises.
Here are our proven ways to achieve the perfect color – from exfoliation to choosing the right cosmetics.
1. Exfoliation is key
Exfoliation is the most important step that should not be forgotten before applying self-tanner, bronzer or accelerator.
🧽 Exfoliate 24 hours before applying the product . Remove dead skin, paying particular attention to knees, elbows, and ankles.
💧 Avoid scrubs with oils , which can create a greasy layer and hinder the even absorption of the cosmetic.
2. Moisturize – but in moderation
Dry skin = spots. Apply a light moisturizer to your entire body 2-3 hours before application (especially to dry areas). However, avoid using heavy body butters right before self-tanner—they can block its effectiveness.
3. Even application is key
🧤 Use a special self-tanner glove – it will ensure even application and protect your hands from staining.
🔄 Apply the product in circular motions, don't press too hard, and don't rush. Remember, less is more – it's better to apply another layer the next day than to struggle with streaks.
