Sunkissed have given their Top Tanning Tips on how to look bronzed and beautiful and to answer any questions you may have when self-tanning!
For a longer-lasting, streak free tan:
💕Exfoliate and shave 24 hours before applying
💕Always use a mitt to apply instant tan
💕Apply lotion or Vaseline around your nails, ankles, knees and elbows to avoid staining
💕Moisturise dry areas after tanning too - this gives a more natural finish
💕Use a brush to apply to your face
💕Refrain from washing your hands after tanning to avoid white patches
Sunkissed Tan Mousse FAQS

WHAT IS A GUIDE COLOUR?
The colour you see when you apply the tan - which washes off after your tan has developed.
DOES THE TAN WASH OFF?

Of course!
DO I NEED AN APPLICATION MITT?
