MY SELF TANNING ROUTINE! + LOVING TAN REVIEW

22nd June 2017

Hello Gorgeous!

Welcome back and Happy Thursday! Today I’m going to be sharing my self tanning routine with you babes. First of all, if you guys have me on Snapchat you saw me freak out when I received a package from Loving Tan! I have been obsessed with their 2 hour express for the last 2 years and I would have never thought I would be able to work with them one day! I took a total risk reaching out to them when I was on their site about to order. I thought to myself, “What the heck! What do I have to loose?”. So I emailed them and to my surprise, they were thrilled to work together! I have been recommending Loving Tan to friends and family these past few years and have even given their 2 hour express tanners as gifts!

I wanted to share that little story so you know that you can 100% trust my opinion! I never mention products I don’t genuinely love. I know the social media world can be a little saturated and untrustworthy, but I make it a point to only recommend products I actually use on a regular basis!

Before I share my routine, I want to tell you a little bit about Loving Tan. All of their products are vegan and made with all natural ingredients such as aloe vera, vitamin extracts, and walnut extract. Their mouses all have professional strength to provide you with a deeper tan, faster! Plus, everything is paraben and alcohol FREE! So cool!

My go-to product from their line is the 2 hour express tanning mousse in “Dark”. I apply the tanner with their velour tanning mitt. And you guys, their mitt is the SH**!! It applies the mouse so easily and smoothly you’re guaranteed to have a beautiful tan! Speaking of the tanning mitt… With my code “TRULYJAMIE” you can get a mitt FREE with your purchase! Trust me, you need it in your life.

And in case you hadn’t guessed already, it’s called 2 hour express because it only takes 2 hours! Duh! No sleeping with it on for 12 hours and staining your sheets. You can literally apply the tanner in the morning and then be ready for your day a few hours later.

STEP #1: SHOWER & EXFOLIATE!

Showering before you begin tanning is the most important step. You need to start with a clean and even layer to apply your tanner onto. While you’re in the shower, shave and exfoliate! Shaving is a major key to your tanning routine because it will help the mousse go on as smoothly as possible. Shaving is a great form of exfoliation but if you want to take an extra step, exfoliate your whole body with a sugar or coffee scrub.

STEP #2: MOISTURIZE!

Moisturize with your fav lotion or body cream. Focus on the areas your tan may get clumped into; your hands, knees, elbows, and ankles. Allow your lotion to soak in before applying your mousse.

STEP #3: TIME TO TAN!

You’re all set! Here are some things to remember when applying your tanner.

-Tan in natural lighting! You need to tan in front of a mirror with plenty of daylight so you can get idea of what you will look like once you step outside!

-Blend smoothly in a circular motion.

-The mousse is build-able! Apply one even layer, then add more if you would like to be darker.

-Remember, the way you look before you wash off the tanner is much darker than you will look once you are all done! If you feel like you are looking too dark or orange remember it will slightly fade once you rinse off.

-When you are finished applying the tanner, check for any spots you may have missed and fill them in.

STEP #4: RELAX FOR 2 HOURS!

Now you have 2 hours to kill! Just relax, watch tv, go on Instagram, or clean your room! Avoid water because it will wash of your tan. Wear loose fitting, dark clothing while you wait for your tan to soak in.

STEP #5: RINSE OFF!

Rinse off only! No soap or scrubbing! Your tan is still fresh. Use warm water not hot, hot water will affect your tan. Once you’re out of the shower, pat dry with a towel.

YOU’RE READY TO GO!

Ta-da! Just 2 hours and you’re tanner than ever! Moisturize daily to help your tan last as long as possible.

I’m telling you guys, you are going to LOVE their tanner! I am constantly getting compliments and questions on my tan. Most of the time, people are surprised when I say it’s self tanner because it looks so natural!

I hope you guys enjoyed this and if you decide to pick up some Loving Tan, please tag me or snapchat me! I would love to hear what you think! See you next time! XO
