Skin Skin Products

It’s that time again!

Posted on March 16, 2015

The sun is out and so is my skin…and it is BLINDING my friends.
I swear I used to brown up after one day in the sun, nowadays even in Hawaii I can’t get a tan!
For that reason and for the reason of healthy skin, my bronzing needs to come from a bottle.
I know and support all my ladies who like to rock the white year round. I love to rock the white (or for me the pale greenish:) during the winter but I love the tan too, it has a whole different look and I’m definitely nostalgic for its connection with summer fun and spring dresses.

I guess you could say I have a little Jersey Shore in my soul cause I am totally down for the GTL. Minus the laundry…and the gym.
By far the best products and info on self tanning you'll find!

I am REALLY particular in products I recommend and I stand by everything I say but sometimes what I say is “eh, I like it but you may not” Like with mascara, it’s just one of those things that everyone disagrees on.

This is NOT like that,
Pretty much everyone wants the exact same things from their self tanner:

Look natural (meaning not streaky dirty or orangy )
Lasts long
Doesn’t offend the nostrils

and if it’s affordable well then heck, we’ll take that too:)

Last year I found my Unicorn tanner that is ALL OF THE THINGS.
Tanwise (get it here or it’s actually cheapest if you live near a Sally Beauty – they have it there too BTW – I JUST GOT WORD THAT IT’S BUY ONE GET ONE HALF OFF AT sallybeauty.com right now!)
Everyone I know now uses it and loves it. It is awesome.
I still get a fair amount of questions about it though so I thought I could post a little updated Q&A.

Q: What’s your routine?
A: Great question! With self tanner your procedure is EVERYTHING. So here’s what I do –
1. Take a shower and SCRUB! Imagine you’re about to commit a crime and you don’t want to leave any of your skin cells anywhere.
2. Wait until you are dry. Blend a small amount of lotion into your wrists, elbows, hands, feet & ankles. Those areas will soak up the most tanner so let them soak in a little bit of moisture first to even the playing field.
3. While in from of a full length mirror apply the tanner to one body part at a time. (like lower leg, upper leg etc.)
Be sure to notice the easy to forget spots like behind your knees or your your elbow.
4. Let it dry before you get dressed. (If you’re in a hurry you can always involve a bow drier:)
5. Apply regular lotion often after you’ve showered off the bronzer. It will make the tan last much longer!

Q: Do you use it with a glove, mitt or bare hands?
A: I use a Mitt. I just think it goes on smoothest that way. A lot of my readers have said they use gloves or bare hands too though. I know for some it’s just easier for them to blend it properly with their hands in that case it will stain your hands. I recommend washing them with baking soda afterwards.

Q: Does it wash off in the shower?
A: OK so here’s something that was confusing for a lot of folks. This self tanner is a bronzer & a self tanner. The bronzer part is there to make sure you get it on even (if it was clear it would be hard to know where you’d applied and where you hadn’t) and for people who want instant results. After a few hours you are free to swim and shower or whatever because although the bronzer will wash right off the tanner will be fully developed underneath (that’s the part that lasts a week or longer) Avoid getting wet at all before 4-6 hours is up.

Q: Does it get on your clothes/sheets?
A: Yes & no. Once its dried it is really resistant to getting on anything. I wear white undies and it does get on them from time to time when I get dressed too quickly after applying or if I get sweaty before I shower the bronzer off. If you are concerned with that I recommend putting it on before bed, wearing loose dark clothes to bed and showering off the bronzer in the morning. Once you shower the color left over cannot be transferred.

Q: it went on looking kind of weird and dirty, what gives?
A: Usually this happens when you’re really dry, so the bronzer clings more in the driest areas. It doesn’t seem to affect the self tanner just the bronzer, at any rate you want to avoid it by giving yourself a nice exfoliating shower before you apply and then applying as soon as you dry from the shower. That way you won’t have much dead skin for it to cling to.

Q: Do you use it on your face?
A: No. My sister does and she loves it. The only reason I don’t is because I prefer to us a spray on my face because I find it easier to apply and I find that it goes on more even and just looks prettier. I use Tomas on my face. I sing all of it’s praises here if you’d like to know more about it and all of it’s benefits:)

Q: I am SUPER pale can I still use it?
A: I am sure there are exceptions to this but I have only seen this stuff work miracles on the fairest of skin. Don’t be afraid of the fact that is says “Dark” and also that it looks so dark out of the bottle. Give it a try! It’s worked for many a light skinned girl!

I hope I’ve covered all the questions, if not I’m happy to answer more below:)
Love you guys, happy Monday!!!

    Hi Cara,

    I love how Tomas spray looks too, but I get so nervous about inhaling that stuff. It feels like I’m breathing in chemicals, and I’ve read about the dangers of inhaling tanning spray online. Any suggestions?

      Hi Rachel! Since I only use a few sprays I’ve never worried much about this! You can hold your breathe while spraying make sure to spray in an open area. It might be worth asking your doctor about too:)

    Since you don’t use it in your face, where do you stop? Do you go up your neck, stop at your shoulders? Would love to know where to stop to look natural still.

      Good question! I usually stop at the top of my neck, then when I spray the Tomas I just do my face. My neck probably gets a little of both but it doesn’t ever look overly tan:)

    How long do you keep your fake tan on before you exfoliate and restart your routine again? Do you have a certain amount of days with the particular product you are using or do you just wait until it starts to get patchy? x

      I think it’s different for me every time! Based on how often I shave and shower & how much lotion I’m using. Sometimes I wait a week sometimes two (in that case I’m white for a couple of days!) I usually do the process again as soon as I get any kind of patches. One exfoliation will usually get me back to even. I would say that is most often every 10ish days.

      March 16, 2015 at 10:35 am

      I prefer the mousse, it seems to last longer for me and I prefer the quick dry formula. If you want a little more moisturizing in your tanning product you could go for the lotion:)

    I have spent past 25 years looking for the best self tanner for my “beyond paper white” skin. I love you for recommending this!! I bought like a dozen bottles (hope it has a shelf life). I use on face with make up sponge in winter and looks natural ( before bed rinse off in am) . I use gloves under a mitt and it doesn’t smell weird or transfer like others and I dont look like I have jaundice. Wears off well too. Very dark going on but natural after rinse off in am shower. Love you for this one!!!

    I use St Moritz lotion in Medium all year round, then dark in the summer from time to time when I’m not tanned naturally (long hours in the office aren’t great for tanning even if you do live in Spain. St Moritz is the cheap alternative to St Tropez, and it doesnt smell AT ALL. Its about £4 or so a bottle which lasts me about a year! I dont know if you can get it in the states, but if you can, its a winner I love it… I use a mitt too especially with the dark one, but if i do get it on my hands i use liquid soap and a shake of Bicarb Soda to scrub it off…works every time xx

      Forgot to say, I also switch from my usual fuscia pink blush in the lighter skin months, to using a coral coloured blush when the tanner comes into full force, I find it goes so much better with the more golden look…an instant beachy tone to it.

      I actually found that once I stopped sun tanning, my melasma greatly lightened. Though I am also using Neutrogena’s Retinol with Vit C, for sun spots. So I guess I can’t attribute it to only staying out of the sun. This is after about a year. When I use self tanner it doesn’t bring it out. For me anyways.

    I love love love Tanwise! I bought it after your last post on it and I am seriously obsessed. I am super white (like sickly, you can see my veins white) and this stuff is amazing. I applied it yesterday after using a dry brush before my shower and a loofah in the shower to exfoliate my legs (they were super dry) and it still went on “dirty” on one of my legs. Any tips for that? I thought I exfoliated really well! Also, do you shave your legs everyday while using it? Does it not last if doing so? Thanks Cara!

    I am forever indebted to you for recommending this a year to two ago. You are absolutely right, it is the holy grail of tanners!! I love it so much! I find it difficult to obtain a dark tan (I have light skin with red undertones). Even a suntan doesn’t go very dark for me. But this stuff does it!! Like I said, I am forever grateful to you for the recommendation! And it’s not even expensive!! Whoa what?! 😀 Great tips on getting the perfect tan! Though I do have to say, this stuff does rub off a bit on everything I own. Hence I choose dark clothes and dark sheets haha. But for my lighter clothes, it doesn’t stain. It washes out 🙂 (I should mention, it rubs off with sweat. Not just with normal wear. It’s from my workouts and runs 🙂 ).

I literally do my top half, wash my hands with sugar and my hand soap, and then do my bottom half, and repeat the same washing method. I am going to try some baking soda! 🙂 I have also heard that lemon is good too.

    I love tanwise! I started using it last summer after your blog post. As a super white girl who has struggled for years with smelly products and streaky results, I can say this is hands down a miracle tan! For me it goes on weird. I look like I rolled in mud! So I apply it at night before bed. By the time I shower and wash off all the bronzer the next morning, a perfect tan is left in its place. I just cant get over how natural it looks and it actually makes my skin smell good. Just cant say enough good things about this product. So glad you turned me on to it!

    Okay so I am a PASTY WHITE girl. I used the medium color in Tanwise and the after color was great! Not orange at all, no smell at all. Perfect. But here’s where I’m confused…

    I followed the instructions here to a T. I didn’t shower until the morning, but when I did like ALL the color came off. All of it. I looked on the back of the bottle and it said “washes off with soap and water”, so I don’t see how it’s supposed to last? Especially up to a week?? Anyone have any insight?

      That’s not the right mousse. Tanwise makes a few different ones. The one Cara recommended doesn’t come in different shades. It’s called “Tanwise Dark Bronzing Sunless Mousse”. The one you’re using is meant to wash, this other one is not.

    Thanks for the shout-out to the ladies who rock the pale all year ’round! While I’m glad that practicing safe sun has been a big topic in recent years, I always felt a little left out in the cold as those articles never mentioned that someone might want to stay fair skinned 365 days a year! I’m a fan of using self tanner rather than dangerous UV rays, and I’m definitely a fan of all skin colors being beautiful! Thanks Cara!

    I found Tanwise thanks to you, and I LOVE it. I don’t use a mitt, though, and it leaves your hands looking awful. I found that the best thing to remove the tanner is Mary Kay Satin Hands. I had a bottle of it from a party where I was guilted into buying something, and it turns out this stuff is great for removing tanner. Bonus, your hands are soft afterwards.

    I just went and got a bottle of this! I’ve tried a LOT of sunless tanners and just thaven’t found the “unicorn” yet! Haha im so excited to try it! Question though! How do you get the backs of your hands tanned evenly…? I have never found a good way to get the backs of my hands tanned so they arent just white when my arms are brown, if that makes any sense. Because you have to wash it off after applying it with your hands. Haha how do you make the color on the back of your hands blend well into your arms without getting orange palms and knuckles? Thanks!

    I just tried my first application of tanwise last night. Looks pretty good this morning. But after I showered it left me a lot lighter than with the bronzer. Could I reapply tonight or is this against the rules (I mostly want it on my arms and legs)? If I only lotion down and use tanwise and don’t do the whole exfoliating routine, will I end up splotchy in the morning?) Thanks.

    I bought this product last night. I showered and exfoliated, applied the mousse, and went to bed. In the morning I rinsed off in the shower… And it all came off!! I was back to the color I was before I applied it. Is this supposed to happen?

    I’ve had the HARDEST time finding a self tanner that actually works and doesn’t wash off. I tried the tanwise mousse and it sucks. I can leave it on for a full day before I wash off the bronzer and still nothing…should I be using the lotion instead?

    Just bought this product…can’t wait to use it! But I do have a question about where to apply it. I mainly got it because my arms and shoulders get very tan from being in the sun, but my legs, chest and stomach are white. Should I use it on my whole body? Even the tan parts? Thanks!

    I just used this for the first time last night and i am IN LOVE!!! i was using the tanwise one hour instant bronzing lotion, so i thought there would be no difference when you posted this. I will NEVER doubt you again! This stuff is amazing! Its so natural looking and it feels so nice once it dries-plus the smell is super summery. It doesnt seem to have that funky self tanner smell either.

    Thank you so much for posting this. As a pale freckly girl I need all the self tanner tips i can get!

    Healthier Alternatives to Tanning | Mindful Medical
    June 24, 2015 at 1:15 pm

    […] The ingredient in products that give a sunless tan is called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is a safe type of sugar that reacts with protein on the outer layer of the skin that turns it darker. The color fades as these outer skin cells rub off. You have about a 4-7 day window of tan with these products. While exfoliating in the shower beforehand is a great idea, avoid putting on other lotion or moisturizer before applying self-tanning products because it can affect the product’s ability to naturally and evenly absorb. The most tricky spots on the body to get an even tan, however, are the driest spots like elbows, feet, and hands, so if you need to spot moisturize these areas beforehand it would probably help them from absorbing too much color. A lot of beauty bloggers will also be able to answer questions about self-tanners and have certain products they recommend to be the best. […]

    You’ve lost a fan! I thought I could trust your advice. Never again. I’ve bought 4 bottles of Toma’s, and only of those bottles actually worked. Then I tried Tanwise, and I don’t even look any different. I look maybe half a shade darker than I normally do! And it DOES look more orange than anything else I’ve used. What a waste of time and money.

    I’m sitting here letting my tan settle in, showered and applied about an hour ago and at first started to freak out hardcore since the mousse had a greenish(?!) tinge to it and I thought maybe I’d gotten a bad bottle! BUT…..I went ahead and finished my application since I’d already went out, bought it and started applying it to my legs….and 30 min later, no kidding, I’m in LOVE already!! Cara, you are an absolute LIFESAVER for us pasty gals who want that glow the safe way! I’m SO glad I followed your advice to a T, you are my beauty icon!! Keep up the awesome work, we appreciate it so much! :)…..quick question, can I apply more tomorrow after washing the bronzer off if I want to go darker? Or will it go all patchy if I don’t wait a couple days??

I use tan wise and I LOVE it…the only problem is that I have large pores and no matter what I try, I always seem to get the little black dots on my skin where the tanning mousse has gotten into my pores. Any suggestions? Thanks!
