We all want that sun-kissed glow, and with the right self-tanning routine, you can achieve that radiant look any time of year with the best self tan in NZ. Whether you’re prepping for a holiday getaway or just want to look your best at home, here’s your ultimate guide to achieving a flawless, streak-free tan with Byremi.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin for a Perfect Tan
The key to an even, natural-looking tan is all in the prep. Start by exfoliating your skin to remove dead cells, which can cause uneven tanning. Focus on areas that tend to be drier, like your elbows, knees, and ankles.
- Exfoliate: Use a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt to slough off any buildup.
- Tan Remover and Primer: Use a tan remover to help get rid of those stubborn bits and help prime your skin.
- Moisturise: Apply a light moisturiser to dry spots to prevent over-absorption of the tanning product in those areas- especially your elbows, knees, and ankles!
Pro Tip: Always exfoliate and shave the day before tanning — never right before, as it can cause irritation when combined with tanning products.
Step 2: Apply Your Byremi Tanning Mousse
Byremi’s ultra-dark or medium-dark tanning mousse is the game changer you’ve been looking for. Lightly shake the bottle to mix the formula, and then use an applicator mitt for a smooth, streak-free application.
- Use Liberally: Apply the mousse in circular motions to avoid streaks. Work your way up from your legs to your arms and face, ensuring even coverage.
- Blend Well: Be sure to blend well, especially around joints and areas like the back of your knees and elbows- don't forget your fingers and toes!
Pro Tip: For a deeper, more intense tan, allow the mousse to develop for 6-8 hours before rinsing off.
Step 3: Let It Develop
After applying the mousse, it’s important to give your tan time to develop. Relax, enjoy a cup of tea, and avoid touching your skin while it sets. If you're in a rush, Byremi’s quick-drying formula will have you feeling dry to the touch in minutes.
- Let It Sit: Let the tan develop for at least 4-6 hours for a gorgeous, deep glow. If you prefer a darker tan, leave it overnight and rinse in the morning. If you prefer a lighter tan, let it develop for a shorter amount of time.
Pro Tip: Wear loose, dark clothing during the development time just in case!
Step 4: Maintain Your Glow
Once your tan is set, maintaining it is all about hydration. Make sure to moisturise daily to keep your skin soft and your glow lasting longer.
- Moisturise: Use a nourishing body lotion or oil to lock in moisture and extend your tan.
- Avoid Long Hot Showers: Hot water can cause your tan to fade faster, so keep showers lukewarm and avoid harsh scrubs.
Pro Tip: Try a gradual tanning lotion to keep your glow fresh and build on your tan over time!
Extra Top Tip: Do not use anything on your skin for the first 24hours after rinsing to allow the tan to fully develop!
Step 5: Tan Safely
Self-tanning is a great way to achieve a beautiful, sun-kissed look without the harmful UV rays. Byremi’s formula is designed to provide that sun-kissed glow while keeping your skin hydrated and protected.
Pro Tip: Always apply sunscreen to areas exposed to direct sunlight, as your tan doesn’t replace the need for UV protection!
