How to get the perfect tan

How to get ready for your upcoming trip in no time

You have a getaway coming up and you need a cute little layer of faux glow to get you going. It needs to look natural, we totally get it. If you’ve ever shown up to an event with orange palms or arrived at your beach destination with splotchy ankles, you know what it’s like to have a bad sunless tan.

At-home self-tanners are notorious for leaving you streaky and professional spray tans start peeling off a just few days in. Between outfits, travel tickets, and getting the perfect pics, you have enough to worry about. Your tan should be as easy and effortless as an umbrella drink by the pool. Here’s how to get the ultimate faux glow every time you want a tan. 

Prep work

Shave, wax, exfoliate. Do whatever you would usually do to prep for a warm-weather getaway. You can use a body scrub or a body brush. This removes dead skin cells so you have a smooth canvas to work with. Pay attention to any extra dry areas working in a circular motion. If using a body brush, work in sweeping motions towards the heart. Bonus: this increases circulation and you get some lymphatic drainage action. 

No time to prep? No worries! After exfoliating, you’ll want to wait till the next day to apply your tanner so there’s no irritation. So if you’re in a time crunch, you can skip the scrub. Just make sure your skin is dry. Lotions or moisturizers will prevent the color from fully absorbing and thus lighten your tan. 

No mitt or glove necessary

If you’re wondering if you need a mitt or glove, the answer is nope! Seafoam Glow is literally the easiest self-tanner to use under the sun. That’s because you never have to worry about your hands turning orange or ankles/knees/wrists/elbows looking patchy.

This natural self-tanning foam gradually deepens and fades in a way that you never have to worry about looking splotchy. The mousse is light and fluffy and goes on clear. It takes about 4-6 hours to fully develop. Just be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after you apply. 

Tips to maintain your glow

After you’ve applied your tanner, you can go about your normal day. Or if it’s nighttime, hit the hay. We suggest wearing loose, dark clothing. However, the tanner won’t transfer to sheets or clothes.

The only rule is that you can’t get wet until your tan has had a chance to develop! Wait at least half a day to shower or swim. If you want a deeper tan, go ahead and apply another layer. Especially if you’ve been soaking in hot tubs or lounging in the pool.

Seafoam Glow contains an ingredient called 72-Hour Moisture, which literally does just that - keeps your skin hydrated for days. Nevertheless, it’s always a good idea to apply a daily body moisturizer to keep your glow on lock.

Another great thing about this nontoxic self-tanner is that you don’t have to start all over each week. You can continue to apply every few days ago to extend your tan. Remember how it never gets streaky or flaky? That means you can use it as much or as little as you’d like to maintain your desired level of tan.  

A natural and nontoxic sunless tanner you can trust

Did we mention this tanner smells like Pina Colada? That’s right! No nasty tanner smell. And the scent is totally natural! No added perfumes or synthetic fragrances. It smells like paradise and feels like vacation.

After feeling the pain from trying countless tanning products on the market, we spent years developing this healthy skincare formula. We know what it’s like to have your sheets stained orange. To walk around with that embarrassing tanning salon smell lingering from your body. Showing up to an event with orange hands or hitting the pool on day two of your trip with streaky arms and splotchy legs. Whether you’re a year-round self-tanning regular or you just want to get a good base going for your upcoming trip, this nontoxic self-tanner is one you can trust. Seafoam Glow is the best natural self-tanner to give you the perfect faux glow.

Doing my makeup during labor was such a fun part of our birth story. I hoped, at the risk of sounding superficial, there would be a way that I could share it. Then TikTok pulls through with trending “birthing makeup” so I took it as permission granted to share.
