Some simple skin regimes mean you can have a natural look when applying fake tan. Prepping the skin avoids build ups in dryer areas like the knees, elbows and ankles.

Exfoliate

The first step to prepare is to exfoliate the skin completely. Exfoliating mitts are great as they are inexpensive, reusable and will remove dead skin leaving skin soft and supple. They are fantastic for removing tan around troublesome areas where tan can build up.

To best protect and preserve your skin, look for an SPF with a broad spectrum that has both UVA and UVB filters.

Pigmentation of the skin

Brown spots or age spots as they are also known are the result of sun exposure. They are usually small, pigmented and either flat or a slightly raised spot with a clearly defined edge which is surrounded by normal appearing skin. These may darken over the years and can occur anywhere on the body, most commonly on the face and hands. They vary in colour and are usually caused by an increased number of skin cells called melanocytes which produce skin colour.

New Prevage Clarity with Idebenone (the world’s most powerful antioxidant) and soy-Ferulate-C gives skin a brightening boost to help minimise the appearance of those all too visible dark spots, age spots, freckles and discolourations to help regain its look of clarity and youthful looking glow.
