The Ultimate Tanning Guide: Achieve Professional-Level Results at Home

Getting a professional-level tan at home is easier than you think when you follow the right steps and use high-quality products like Custom Tan. Whether you’re a beginner or a tanning pro, these tips will help you achieve a flawless, streak-free glow every time.

1. Prep Your Skin for Perfection

Preparation is the key to a long-lasting, even tan:

  • Exfoliate: Use a gentle body scrub 24 hours before tanning to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth surface. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.

  • Moisturise: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser to dry areas to prevent the tan from clinging unevenly.

2. Apply Your Tan Like a Pro

  • Use a Tanning Mitt: Always use a tanning mitt for even application and to avoid staining your hands.

  • Start from the Bottom Up: Apply your tan in circular motions, beginning at your legs and working your way up to ensure a streak-free finish.

  • Less is More: Use a light hand on dry areas and build colour gradually.

3. Post-Tan Care for Longevity

  • Wait Before Showering: Allow your tan to develop for at least 6–8 hours before showering.

  • Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin moisturised daily to extend the life of your tan. Avoid exfoliation until you're ready to reapply.

4. Enhance Your Glow
