Best way to remove your show tan post competition

We’ve all been there, and that post show glow that’s looking a little worse for wear is not the one. The art of fake tan removal is something that every bikini girl should know.

Your first instinct will probably be to start scrubbing your skin like crazy after your latest show.

BUT

This can lead to an even patchier tan, sore skin and areas of your body will start to cling more onto the tan than others. So here are our top tips and reminders:

1) Your skin will be more sensitive than usual due to the hormonal changes that can occur during prep. Therefore the more you violently scrub the more your skin will become sore.

2) Start to lightly exfoliate applying the same pressure around the body using quality products & tools. Using a product such as “Sunless Tan Remover” is a great way to gently remove the tan without abrasive scrubbing.

3) Ideally you want to avoid your skin becoming patchy. To avoid this keep moisturization extremely high after your show tan. We stock a specific PH Neutral moisturiser which reduces the risk of chemicals or perfumes reacting with your tan if you have another show coming up.

4) If there are areas that have gone slightly patchy. Using something like ‘Tough Stuff’ to buffer and even out the skin tone.

5) There is a MASSIVE misconception that after your first show, you must get ALL your tan off before the next show. Wrong, especially if you are close to your next show, it’s better to exfoliate your skin all over than to turn up with patchy skin.

6) If things are REALLY bad, then tell your tanner! They might be able to apply some additional prep spray around the area which could help.

So there we have it. We’ve just solved all post show tiger bread disasters from happening. For any other tanning related questions please don’t hesitate to drop us a message!
