Here’s how to apply your wedding day tan:
SELF TANNING TOOLS:
Including tanning tools in your wedding day tan routine is an absolute MUST for a flawless and undetectable self tan. 4 essential tanning tools you need:
- Exfoliating Mitt
- Tanning Mitt
- Self Tan Back Applicator
- Contour Blending Brush
METHOD:
A few notes before we dive into wedding tan land!
Firstly, we recommend trialling your tanners prior to your wedding, so you know exactly what your results will look like and you can nail your glow. Secondly, for the big day, we recommend applying your tanner 1-2 days prior to your wedding.
Alright, into the juicy part 👇
Step 1: Exfoliation
For the perfect tan, you need the perfect base, and exfoliating and shaving prior to your tanning application will ensure that you have a smooth and flawless base ready for self tanning. Regular use of our exfoliating mitt will help to remove dead skin cells, dry skin and other skin imperfections and will prevent you from developing those not so cute dark dots on your skin after applying your tan. For best results, exfoliate the around 12-24 hours prior to your tan application!
Step 2: Time To Tan
Once you’ve picked your favourite self tanner for the day, it’s time to get your glow on!
If you’re using one of our tanning mousses, grab your tanning mitt, pump your favourite tanner on to the mitt, and blend the tan in circular motions until it’s evenly applied over the body. Personally, we love starting at our feet and working our way up the body. Once the tan has developed to the recommended or preferred amount of time, lightly rinse under warm water without soaps or body wash, until the water runs clear. Gently pat dry and avoid rubbing your skin so as not to interfere with the tan.
WONDERING HOW TO TAN YOUR HANDS AND FEET?Â
For these tricky spots, we recommend using our Contour Blending Brush. It's so fluffy and easy-to-use! Simply pump a small amount of tanner on the brush and lightly brush over your hands and feet ensuring you’re getting into your fingers, toes and ankles blending it in with the rest of your body.
WONDERING HOW TO TAN YOUR FACE?
Good Night Face Bronzing Serum to the rescue! Our tanning drops are the best face tanner to use on your wedding day, as it works to give you a radiant glow, whilst hydrating, nourishing and brightening your complexion. Simply mix your serum in with your favourite moisturiser before bed, and wake up with a wedding ready glow!
Step 3: Wedding Ready GlowÂ
Once you’ve allowed your tanner to develop, simply wash it off in the shower. If you’re seeing your tan go down the drain, do not stress! It’s all the excess bronzer washing down the drain, and your tan will continue to develop over the following few hours.
And Voila ✨You are wedding day ready!✨
To get the most out of your wedding day tan, we’ve left some really important notes we need you to read!
TIP 1:Â
Each time you shower, when drying, make sure you lightly pat your skin and do not vigorously rub. We want to treat your wedding day tan with care, so please be gentle!
TIP 2:Â
Make sure you moisturise daily. We want your skin to be absolutely glowing, and yes, your skin will be golden AF after using a tanner, but to extend the life of your glow and to give your skin the boost it needs, make sure you’re loving it back with a skin-loving body lotion.
If you’re after a natural bronzed glow on your wedding day, Luna Bronze has the best self tan for brides. We want you to feel loved, feel confident and most importantly, FEEL GOO Don your special day.
