Confession: I used to chase that perfect bronze and always ended up red, patchy, or peeling. If you want a deep, even tan that lasts, here’s what actually works (and what I wish I’d known sooner): 💡 Prep like a pro! Exfoliate the night before with a gentle scrub (think sugar + honey) so your tan goes on smooth, not streaky. Moisturize well—hydrated skin holds color longer. ⚠️ Don’t skip sunscreen! I know, it sounds backwards, but SPF 15+ actually helps you tan safely and prevents burns that ruin your glow. Trust me, burnt skin flakes off fast. ✅ While tanning, switch positions every 20 minutes and sip water. Even coverage and hydration are your BFFs for that golden look. 📌 After sun? Shower, slather on lotion, and keep up the water. Your tan will thank you! What’s your biggest tanning mistake—burns, streaks, or something else?
