Tips for Faking a Sexy Summer Glow

We all love the look of sexy bronzed skin.  But, let's face it, nobody likes the look of sun damage.  Luckily, with today's sunless tanners, you can help your clients fake it!:)

Today's sunless tanners have traveled a very long way. The days of orange, zebra-like streaks are gone, if you know how to correctly apply the tanner and most importantly, prep your client's skin.  Here are some tips:

• Ask the client to not shave their legs within 2 hours of applying the tanner, especially if they have sensitive skin. If the tanner causes a skin reaction you will be left with little dark red bumps from razor burn.  If they are prone to razor burn and need to shave the day before, recommend Scandle's Eco Shave and Shower Foam.

• EXFOLIATE. It is the most important part of preparing skin for a tanner. Try Scandle's Dead Sea Salt Scrub or Scandle's Turbinato Sugar Scrub for sensitive skin.

• A couple of minutes after you have applied the tanner, be sure to rub areas such as elbows and knees with a little Scandle Lotion Candle to lighten the effect.

• Always use tanners that are specific to that body part.  Sunless tanners for face are just for that...the FACE!   If you use a body tanner on the face, it could result in a look that your customer may not be too happy with.
