Fake Tan For Men

Good news boys! You don’t have to bake yourself in the sun to look like a bronzed Adonis. In fact, getting an all-over tan to look your best your big day will only take you half an hour tops.

Honeymoons

 

Yes, we’re talking about spray tans and tinted moisturisers. And, far from being a ‘ladies only treatment’, this risk-free way of getting a fast and amazingly natural looking tan has fast become a hit with men, which is why there are so many new products on the market: for the face, hairless bodies, hairy bodies and building a tan.

If you’re unsure how to apply then go for a salon. Alternatively, mobile beauty therapists will bring a pop-up tanning booth and equipment to your home for under £30 and you can be bronze within half an hour of opening your front door. It’s that simple.

Your spray tan should last around a week though you can ‘top it up’ while on honeymoon with self-tanning creams to stay brown for longer.

Think about how great the wedding photos will look!

Spray tan dos and don’ts

Do

  • Try it out a month or so before the wedding to ensure you get the right shade and the beautician does a good (non-streaky) job.
  • Exfoliate well (scrub your skin in the shower or bath) beforehand as it’ll help the tan to look more even and last longer.
  • Moisturise your skin well 24hrs before getting spray tanned.
  • Have a shower just before getting tanned.
  • Get your bride-to-be to have a tan too.

Don’t

  • Wear deodorant on the day of your spray tan.
  • Wear large shorts when getting tanned, go for small speedos and you’ll have a smaller white patch once tanned.
  • Get a tan without telling your bride-to-be. Turning up looking a different colour on the day as a surprise is not a good idea!
