It is a common misconception that self-tanning and spray tanning is just for those with paler skin tones; however, dark, olive and honey brown skin tones can all benefit from a spray tan too - it's not about looking darker, it's all about the glow.

What are the benefits of tanning?

With darker people being more sensitive to sunlight, spray tanning is the perfect solution for a healthy and radiant glow which does not permanently damage the skin.

Self-tanning for dark skin gives an even colour and gives paler areas a much-needed tan. By evening out skin colour, a spray tan will minimise any hidden scars and stretch marks - so you can say goodbye to any unwanted blemishes.

Spray tanning can also help to define your muscles. By purposely highlighting targeted areas, you can 'slim down' and contour and highlight specific areas of your body - making you feel confident and goddess-like.

Another benefit of self-tanning for dark skin is that it makes your skin tone look smoother, and you can feel flawless with an all-over deep bronze that complements and enhances your features.

Self-tanning also guarantees that you are looking after your skin. Exfoliating, keeping your body hydrated and moisturising daily will do wonders for your skin, keeping it healthy and radiant all year round.

How to self-tan

The rules of self-tanning remain the same for all skin tones:

• Remove hair at least one day prior to tanning
• Gently exfoliate and moisturise the skin
• Invest in a tanning mitt to get even coverage and protect your hands
• Remove all makeup and always start with your face first.

Of course, it is essential to find the right shade and product for your skin and tone.
