Get a Gorgeous Sun-Kissed Glow

Self-tanners have come a long way, and with the right products and techniques, you can look like a bronzed goddess safely and easily. Here, the experts at VersaSpa, an innovative sunless tanning/skincare company, share their top tips and tricks to get a perfect sunless tan at home.

Begin with clean, exfoliated skin, which will allow for a more even tan.

If you’re newer to tanning, start with a gradual tanning product, like VersaSpa’s Gradual Tanning Body Butter Lotion.

Apply self-tanning products with the applicator mitt to avoid streaks and ensure an even application of color (and to keep your hand clean).

First apply to feet and legs, working your way up your body with a circular motion.

Apply to larger areas of your body like your lower or upper legs and blend into drier parts of the skin, including feet, knees, hands, and elbows. Overlap from area to area to be sure no skin is missed.

Don’t forget your face! VersaSpa’s Gradual Tanning Face Moisturizer is weightless and blurs fine lines.

Avoid getting your skin wet from working out, showering, or swimming for at least four to six hours to allow the tan to set.

THE FUTURE OF SUNLESS

VersaSpa is formulated with a blend of green and brown marine algae, which stimulates collagen production in the skin while the tan develops. This unique combination of tanning and botanical skincare technology will detoxify, firm, and hydrate skin cells. VersaSpa.com
