Here are some top tanning tips from He-Shi expert Jackie Thompson.
It’s generally the same problems that crop up for people applying fake tan. They complain about their elbows being too dark, their knees being patchy, streaks and the amount of time it takes to actually apply a tan.
So how do you get a golden tan that turns others green?……. Well there are some key things we can all do to help achieve that perfect tan.
1. Preparation
This is the key to a good tan, whether it’s one you are applying yourself or going to a salon to get a spray tan, you must prepare your skin. Exfoliate the day before tanning paying special attention to the elbows, knees, ankles and any areas of dry skin you may have.
2. Application
Read the instructions before you apply your tan. With some tans you need to moisturise before application whereas with others you don’t as this acts as a barrier to the tan. Use a tanning mitt to glide the tan over the skin, and with a good strong bronzer you are guaranteed to see exactly where you are applying the tan. All this means that you have no excuse for any streaks or missed bits. (He-Shi tan dries in minutes so there is no need to wait around for hours before you get dressed)
TOP TIP – Apply some moisturiser to the hands, elbows, knees and ankles after applying the tan to stop them becoming dark and patchy.
3. Maintenance
Moisturise every day to protect the tan and prevent flaking of the skin. This will give you an even wear-off, keep the skin hydrated and it will give you a smoother and softer looking complexion.
After tanning you can swirl a brush all over a bronzer (try Fusion Multi Bronze) and use it either as a blush or as a matte finish bronzer all over the face/body. (You can also use the individual colours in the Fusion Multi bronzer as an eye shadow palette)
The end result will be a perfect, even and natural looking tan! It really is as simple as 3 steps to the perfect tan!

Yes, I like their spray tan although there was one of their home tans that I found difficult to apply.
