If you’re going to be using fake tan this summer, then remember this one important tip. Moisturise 24 hours before you apply the fake tan, but no sooner. Many people moisturise right before tanning as they think it gives a more even colour, but i can actually effect the tint. At best, it will create a paler shade or you won’t tan at all, at worst it can change the shade to be more orange or go streaky.
