Exfoliate before and moisturize after. Things you can try are shaving with olive oil, putting baby oil in your body wash, and of course lots of lotion. STAY MOIST. This involves drinking a lot of water, as well. Your skin won't burn or blister as easily and the tan will stay longer. There are also lotions out there made specifically to extend your tan. I've tried them and they seem like just lotion to me, though....

moisturize moisturize moisturize!! your skin will stay tan longer if it isn't dry. The upper layer of skin that is tan will not shed as quickly if it moisturized with lotion.
Go to walmart/target and getting some after sun moisturizing lotion. It usually also contains Vitamin A &E and Aloe, which is great for the skin.
Also, layout or go to a tanning salon every other day, to maintain your darkness.
Happy Tanning :)

Make sure your skin is properly hydrated and ALWAYS keep it moisturized. You can do this just by putting some moisturizing lotion on, and your tan will stay longer. The key to a longer-lasting tan is the proper hydration of your skin.

It depends on your skin. But in general, just put on yourself a cream that you used to get tanned with, and go outside for 15 minutes (7 minutes to get your back tanned, and 7 minutes to get your front tanned).
I guess that you should only MAINTAIN by getting yourself out to the sun every day...
Or you may buy yourself that UV tanning machine :) but in my opinion it costs a lot (as far as I know).

applying a solar mattress is so unfavourable to your dermis and you will truthfully get burnt yet doing here approach throughout the time of wintry climate and going out interior the solar for an hour interior the summertime then you definitely will look advantageous . i might advise smothering your leg with moisturizer and then placed a hand finished of face tan on the two legs every day till you attain 'perfection' in case you are attempting this then it particularly is going to take some days in spite of the undeniable fact that it particularly is going to quickly look advantageous . good success !

look for it in the body lotion section @ a supermarket. it's a lotion that you put on to keep your skin glowing year-round! i forgot who it's by. jergins? (it's not a tanning agent, it maintains your tan)
