Self-Tan for Men — Get a Natural Body Glow

Tanned skin isn’t just for summer selfies, it’s a confidence boost, a healthy-looking glow, and a subtle way to highlight muscle tone. Men often think self-tanning is tricky or risky, but with the right approach, you can achieve a natural, streak-free glow without turning orange, patchy, or flaky.

Why Men Should Consider Self-Tan

• Enhances definition: A well-applied tan subtly accentuates muscle tone.

• Even skin tone: Covers minor redness, blotches, or uneven pigmentation.

• Low maintenance: With hydration-focused formulas like Tropic Tan™, it fades evenly without streaking.

Pre-Tan Prep for Men

1. Exfoliate 24–48 hours before applying. Focus on rough areas: elbows, knees, ankles, and feet.

2. Shave or trim body hair 24 hours before application — shaving immediately before can create uneven absorption.

3. Moisturise dry areas lightly: elbows, knees, hands, feet — these zones are prone to absorbing more colour.

4. Skip oil-based lotions on the day of tanning — they block your self-tanner from developing evenly.

Application Tips for a Masculine Glow

• Use the Tropic Tan™ tanning mitt to apply mousse evenly. Work in large sections: legs, arms, torso, back (get a friend or a back applicator if needed).

• Even strokes: Top-to-bottom sweeping motions prevent streaks.

• Layer gradually: Apply a thin first layer and build to desired depth.

• Hands and feet: Use a small amount of product and blend quickly; wipe off excess on palms.

Aftercare & Maintenance

• Wait before showering: Follow the 4–8 hour developing window.

• Daily hydration: Use a Hyaluronic Acid infused mousituriser to keep skin plump and prevent patchy fade.

• Avoid friction: Tight clothing, belts, or backpacks can rub off colour prematurely.

• Shower smart: Lukewarm water, gentle cleansers, and pat dry.

Touch-Ups & Troubleshooting

• Patchy areas: Reapply a small amount with the mitt to blend seamlessly.

• Dry elbows/knees/ankles: Layer lightly with moisturiser before applying mousse next time.

• Uneven fade: Exfoliate gently before your next tan session for an even base.
