Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to look your absolute best. Many brides and grooms opt for a tan before their big day to give them that sun-kissed glow. While self-tanner can be a great option, there are definitely some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind to ensure you achieve the perfect tan without any mishaps.
In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices for using self-tanner before your wedding.
Do exfoliate before applying self-tanner: One of the most important steps in achieving a smooth and even tan is to exfoliate your skin beforehand. This will help remove any dead skin cells and create a smooth surface for the self-tanner to adhere to. Make sure to pay extra attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.

Don’t wait until the last minute: It’s crucial to give yourself enough time when applying self-tanner before your wedding. You don’t want to be rushing or stressing about it on the day of your wedding. Give yourself at least a few days before the big day to apply the self-tanner so that it has time to develop and settle into your skin.

Do a patch test first: Before applying self-tanner all over your body, it’s important to do a patch test on a small area of skin first. This will help you determine if you have any sensitivities or allergies to the product. The last thing you want is an allergic reaction right before your wedding day.

Don’t forget about your face and hands: When applying self-tanner, many people tend to focus on their body and neglect their face and hands. However, it’s crucial to apply self-tanner evenly on these areas as well for a seamless tan. Make sure to use a light hand when applying on your face and wash your hands immediately after application.

Do touch up as needed: If you notice any uneven patches or missed spots after applying self-tanner, don’t panic! You can always touch up these areas with some additional product or use a gradual tanning lotion for a more subtle fix.
