I'm a beauty pro – the top secret to perfecting your fake tan that the pros never want you to know | The Sun

A BEAUTY expert has revealed the secret to getting the perfect fake tan. 

The spray tan artist has said people often miss a certain trick – and it’s limiting the glow of the tan.


In a video, which she shared on her social media page called Summer Glow Tanning, she said: “So your client just left her spray tanning appointment, her spray tan looks flawless, she loves it.

“But all of a sudden, you get a text from her not too long after she leaves, and this is what her text says.”

She then displays a picture showing a fake tanning mishap.

The tanning professional continues: “As you can see, it looks like her spray tan is dripping.

“They either spill something on their arm, their legs, somewhere that's exposed on their body, or it's just really hot out and they start sweating.

“But not to worry, this is totally fixable, and actually, you don't have to do anything at all.

“As a spray tan artist, what I always do first is respond to them and let them know, don't worry at all.

“I know it looks like that's what your tan is gonna look like after you take your first shower, but actually, once you take your first shower, everything is gonna be completely even and look perfect.

“Now, this is because what actually looks like it's dripping or spilled on is actually just the topical cosmetic bronzer.

“So this is actually, in all spray tan solutions and this is what helps the spray tan artist see where they're spraying on the client's skin.

“It's what shows you the colour right away.

“It is also what you see washing off when you take your first shower.

“I always tell my first time clients, don't freak out when you take your first shower.

“And you see a bunch of colour coming off – that is just the topical cosmetic layer and that is meant to wash off.

“So when clients spill on their body or they end up sweating and it looks like their actual spray tan is coming off, I just assure them this is just the topical cosmetic bronzer.

“It is actually meant to come off in the long run anyway.

“The actual ingredient in spray tans, which is DHA, is what actually makes your client look bronze brown.

“Cosmetic bronzers are what you see on the skin, right after the spray tan appointment.

“They only last up to a couple of days and like I said, they are meant to wash off and that's what helps even out the tan.”

Many other beauty fans rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts. 

One wrote: “This is great info!”
