A
Guide to Using Fake Tan For Dark Skin Tones
If you have a darker skin tone, using fake
tan is probably something that has never even crossed your mind. After all,
surely the whole point of tanning products is for pale skinned people to
achieve a darker look? Well actually, you might be surprised.
Let’s take a look at why you might decide
to use a fake tan, and consider important questions such as how to choose the
right shade and prepare your skin before application.
What
are the benefits?
Fake
tan for dark skin tones provides a flawless base and a smooth but natural
complexion. Scars and stretch marks could sometimes be quite apparent on darker skin, so
having a subtle cover-up can be a great way to boost your confidence. If you’re
planning a holiday or a big night out, it can be just what you need to have you
feeling like a million dollars.
It can also be a brilliant addition to your
everyday make-up routine. By spending just ten minutes a few times a week
applying your fake tan, you can wake up to brighter skin every morning. You
could be ready to face the world in no time at all, with just a little mascara
and lipstick.
How
do I choose the right shade?
If you’re looking for a clearer complexion
from your tanning product, look for a shade that is as close as possible to
your own skin tone. This will allow you to use it on just certain areas of your
body without looking mismatched! If you do want to add a little darkness to
your skin, only go a shade or two darker. Anything more, and you run the risk
of looking unnatural.
How
should I prepare my skin before application?
When it comes to fake tan for dark skin
tones, preparation is absolute key. For the best results, shave and exfoliate
the day before you plan to apply your product, and cover yourself with plenty
of moisturiser. As with all things, practice makes perfect! It might take you a
few applications to get the hang of it, but after a while, it’ll become just
another part of your beauty routine.

Love being tanned, but it has to be a 'real' tan and not from a bottle. Cause I smell it on my skin everywhere I go, and after showering it's all gone. When it's rainy, you get weird spots on your face. So I just keep hoping that one day I'll wake up with a beautiful tan, without visiting the solarium or using tanning spray.
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks gorgeous by the way I don't think you need it.

Hmm, I personally would not use a fake tan weekly or even monthly but I would certainly like to try it one day-just for the "glowy" look it would probably give...I find that a really good bronzer can do just about the same thing..especially during the winter.

I don't use fake tan, never used it& don't intend to lol but I love it on others. Prefer creams&oils to give me glow&even skintone
ReplyDeleteI use to wear fake tan on my legs and arms for nights out, I use to go about two possibly three shades darker and it made a difference. It annoyed me when people would say 'you're mixed you don't need it'... brown still bronzes peeps :)
