4 Tips for Waxers Who Tan

Staying bronzed throughout the summer OR caring for your skin – there doesn’t have to be a choice between the two! With plenty of great sunless tanners on the market, these days it’s easier than ever to maintain a gorgeous summertime glow. We put together a list of the top tips for maintaining your tan (even when waxing) and keep it looking fresh as long as possible!

1. SUNLESS OR SUN?

To achieve bronzed skin without spending hours in the sun, sunless tanning is a great option to protect your skin! Look for a product with nourishing ingredients to protect and moisturize skin while also leaving behind a natural-looking tan.

2. EXFOLIATING IS KEY

Before a wax or applying self-tanner, take time to exfoliate. It’ll help free up any ingrown hairs while also helping remove dead skin to leave it prepped and ready for a tan!

3. BUT FIRST…WAXING!

To keep your glow looking its best, be sure to wax first and tan later! When performed too quickly after tanning, waxing removes colour and can leave patchy areas of skin behind. Make sure to wait approx. 24 hours after your wax, for both sunless and traditional tanning.
