How to Apply Gradual Tanner

A gradual tanner is a self-tanning product that provides a natural-looking tan over time. It is a great option for those who want a subtle, gradual change in their skin tone without the harsh effects of the sun or tanning beds. Here are the steps to apply a gradual tanner:

1. Exfoliate your skin: Before applying the gradual tanner, make sure to exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells that may cause the tanner to streak or appear uneven. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a loofah to exfoliate your skin.

2. Moisturize your skin: After exfoliating, moisturize your skin with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to ensure that your skin is hydrated and smooth.

3. Apply the gradual tanner: Squeeze a small amount of gradual tanner onto your palm and begin applying it to your skin in circular motions, starting from your legs and working your way up. Be sure to apply it evenly and blend it well around your ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists, where the skin tends to be drier and may absorb more product.

4. Wash your hands: After applying the gradual tanner to your body, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent any tanner from staining your palms or nails.

5. Wait for the tanner to dry: Allow the gradual tanner to dry completely before getting dressed or coming into contact with anything that may rub off the product. It is recommended to wait at least 10 minutes before putting on clothes.

6. Maintain your tan: To maintain your gradual tan, reapply the tanner every 2-3 days or as needed. Make sure to continue to exfoliate and moisturize your skin regularly to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.

Remember to always patch test a small area of skin before applying a new tanner to ensure that you don't have any allergic reactions. And always read the product instructions carefully before applying.
