How to use self tanner

Exfoliation

To start you are going to need something to exfoliate your skin and get rid of dead skin. Check out all of their exfoliating tools and products. Exfoliation is important for an even tan even for people with sensitive skin.

 

Best kept secret is the exfoliating gloves, it's the perfect first step to a natural looking glow. Try out medium exfoliating gloves or heavy exfoliating gloves to get rid of any uneven texture, this important step helps you avoid streaks too!

Applicators for head to toe!

Kabuki Brushes for your face

The facial kabuki brush is the perfect tool to give your skin a bronzy glow without the sun damage. The blending tool helps blend your gradual tanner into hard areas like your ears, hair line, and neck line.

Kabuki Brushes for your body

The body kabuki brush works the same way to give your skin the perfect gradual tan by blending the hardest areas like your feet and ankles - don't forget behind your knees.

Well, it depends on your pale skin type. Skin types can vary from dry as the Sahara to oily and every skin type between!

We've broken down the best tanners for fair skin below to get you the best natural glow!

Before and after

PRO TIP:

The ultimate goal is a natural glow for everyone from ghostly pale skin to the darkest complexions. A self tan isn't just about the natural glow though - it also evens out complexions and gives you an extra confidence boost for your no make-up days.

Dry Skin:

Moisturizing ingredients are going to be your bestie if your skin tends to be dry. Self tanner's that have nasty chemicals tend to dry out your complexion even more. You don't need to compromise on ingredients, keep it safe and vegan. Beauty By Earth promises no synthetic colors, no synthetic fragrances, never parabens, and heck no to sulfates.

Check out BBE moisturizers if you are doing the self tanner drops

BBE has launched quite a few moisturizers over the last few years.

Any of these cream can be mixed with the self tanner drops.

Holy Oily Skin?:

Got a shine you never asked for? You're not alone! An oily complexion is totally normal: your glands just produce too much sebum, leading to an extra-greasy layer on the surface, clogged pores and acne. No need to panic - as long as you keep it clean there's nothing wrong with having oilier than average skin! In fact we have some tanner recommendations for oily skin.

Self Tanning Face Serum

Use the self tanning serum with our kabuki brush for the best self tanner results. Comes in fair to medium if you have pale skin and medium to dark if you have a more olive or darker skin tone.

The Mousse Formula for your body

In only four to eight hours you will start to see results for all our tanners. This mousse formula will get you the darkest self tan. If you have a super pale skin tone we recommend trying another self tanner on your body like the lotion.

The mousse goes on a clear so if you don't have any self tanner experience try the lotions first because they have a white cast.

Beauty By Earth Self Tanner Mousse

Combination skin or skin changes depending on the season:

All Beauty by Earth self tanner would work for your combination skin. Combo skin means some days you may be dry and some days you may be oily. This is especially true for when seasons change.

Self tanners for pale skin are the fair to medium shades. The only exception is our aloe vera self tanner drops - right now we don't have any other shades. (But good news...more shades are coming!!)

Final Pro Tanning Tips for Everyone

1: Invest in kabuki brushes for the hard to blend areas.

These are perfect to blend on the hard spots - like your elbows, ankles, toes, back of the knee, neck, and hair line.

2: If it's your first time start with one coat, you can always build and add more for a deeper tan.

You can't go backwards! This goes for all types of tanner.

3: Never forget to exfoliate before starting your routine.

Exfoliate everywhere the tanner goes - face or body! Check out our superfruits face scrub.

4: Let tanner dry for 15 minutes or so before getting dressed. It will probably dry faster but better to be cautious.

5: Stay out of water for 8 hours for tan to fully develop.

Don't dive in to a pool to early. If you are traveling we recommend bringing the baby mousse! It's airplane security friendly.

6: Moisturize after you tan including your face and body.

Slather yourself with lotion and face moisturizer, it will make your tan last longer.

7: The self tan will last about 3-5 days normally. You can reapply as much as you want!

Keep moisturized if you want it to last longer. You can reapply as much as you want too but remember if you are new to the self tanning world start gradual.

8: Pick the right tanner for you based on your skin:

Fair to Medium: For Fair Skin Tones (Warm Undertones)

The Fair to Medium are perfect for people with pink or cool undertones, fair skin, or those looking for a very subtle tan. Not sure if this is you? You will likely want this formula if you burn easily, freckle, or see blue or purple tinted veins when you look at the underside of your wrist. 

Medium to Dark: For Olive Skin Tones (Cool Undertones)

The Medium to Dark are perfect for people with olive or warm undertones, medium to dark skin. Not sure if this is you? You will likely want this formula if you don’t easily burn or freckle, or if you see green tinted or no color veins when you look at the underside of your wrist.
