The Essential Guide to Prepping for Self-Tanning with JLC Products

Self-tanning is a fantastic way to achieve a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV exposure. However, the key to a flawless, long-lasting tan lies in the preparation. At JLC, we understand the importance of a good prep routine to ensure your self-tan looks smooth, even, and radiant. Here’s why prepping is crucial and how JLC products can help you achieve the perfect tan.

Why Prepping is Essential

  1. Smooth Canvas for Even Application: Proper preparation helps create a smooth surface, allowing the self-tanner to apply evenly. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, which can otherwise lead to a patchy or uneven tan.

  2. Enhanced Tan Longevity: Prepping your skin can extend the life of your tan. By eliminating dead skin and moisturizing thoroughly, you reduce the chances of your tan fading unevenly.

  3. Avoiding Streaks and Patches: Skin that hasn’t been properly prepared is more likely to develop streaks and patches. Prepping helps avoid these issues, ensuring a natural-looking glow.

  4. Achieving Optimal Results: Prepped skin absorbs the self-tanner better, leading to more accurate and vibrant results. It also helps in avoiding the dreaded orange tint, providing a more natural appearance.

JLC's Prepping Products for a Perfect Tan

1. JLC Exfoliating Body Scrub

Our Exfoliating Body Scrub is a game-changer for self-tanning preparation. Formulated with natural ingredients like pumice stone and sucrose, it gently buffs away dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, smooth surface. The scrub also contains nourishing oils like coconut and sweet almond, which hydrate your skin while exfoliating. Using this scrub regularly will ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for self-tanning.

2. JLC Hydrating Body Wash

To complement your exfoliation, our Hydrating Body Wash cleanses your skin without stripping away essential moisture. It’s enriched with natural ingredients that help maintain your skin’s hydration balance, preventing dryness and flakiness that can affect your tan. Clean, hydrated skin is the perfect foundation for an even self-tan.

3. JLC Moisturizing Body Butter

After exfoliating and cleansing, it’s crucial to lock in moisture. Our Moisturizing Body Butter is rich and creamy, providing intense hydration that prepares your skin for tanning. It’s formulated with nourishing ingredients that keep your skin soft and supple, reducing the risk of uneven application.

4. JLC Pre-Tan Primer

For those looking to take their preparation to the next level, our Pre-Tan Primer is the ultimate product. It creates a smooth base for your self-tanner, ensuring a flawless application. The primer helps in balancing your skin’s pH and reducing the appearance of pores, which leads to a more even and long-lasting tan.

How to Use JLC Products for the Best Results

  1. Start with Exfoliation: Use the JLC Exfoliating Body Scrub to buff away dead skin cells. Focus on areas prone to rough patches, like elbows, knees, and ankles.

  2. Cleanse and Hydrate: Follow up with the JLC Hydrating Body Wash to cleanse your skin. Rinse thoroughly and pat your skin dry with a towel.

  3. Moisturize: Apply JLC Moisturizing Body Butter all over your body, paying special attention to dry areas. Allow it to absorb completely before applying your self-tanner.

  4. Apply the Self-Tanner: Use your favorite JLC self-tanning product as directed. For the best results, use a tanning mitt for an even application.

  5. Finish with the Pre-Tan Primer: If you’re using our Pre-Tan Primer, apply it before your self-tanner to enhance the smoothness and longevity of your tan.
