Preparing for your tan

Our mantra for the perfect tan is preparation, preparation, preparation. If you polish and moisturise all over regularly, you won’t need to do too much before tanning. But if, like us, you don’t have time every single day to do the full works, you might have a few dry patches here and there. We find the worst offenders are wrists and hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet. If you’re planning a self tan (at home or in the salon) try to give those dryer patches a bit of TLC in the few days before - it’ll give you a head start. Either way, immediately before application, rub a little St. Tropez Body Moisturiser over these dry areas.
