How to:

We're going to hold your hand when we say this, sometimes your tan looks bad because of how you've applied it...

Did you know your prep is more important than your application?! Let us give you the crash course on how to get your Kiki and Klo tan being the most flawless tan you've ever put on your body!

Firstly, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT shave and exfoliate right before you tan. This leaves your pores open meaning your tan will sink into the pores, rather than laying on the skin - this also increases your chances of having that 'strawberry' skin appearance on your legs, and we know that ain't cute.

Instead, shave and exfoliate head to toe either the evening before or at least 5 hours before application. This gives the pores time to close up and the skin to settle. HOT TIP: the Kiki and Klo Exfoliating Mitt is a great way to prep the skin pre-tan and remove all those dry, dead skin cells tan looooves to cling to.

Now, your application. Ensure your skin is completely dry, free of any oils. Only apply moisturiser to your dry areas (personally that's our knees, ankles, elbows and neck). 

Using the Kiki and Klo Tanning Mitt, apply your tan all over - if you are going to apply another layer, wait 5 minutes in between for the first layer to dry. Now, THE TRICK, to the most flawless, beautiful, natural tan is the finishing touches. Using the Kiki and Klo Body Kabuki, buff the tan mixed with a little bit of moisturiser into your hands and feet - this prevents those cheese puff fingers we've been seeing in your old Instagram piccies. Use the same kabuki to buff the tan on your ankles, elbows and knees to avoid it clinging and then buff any other areas you feel need smoothing out.

Wait 5 minutes for the tan to dry (it may still be a littttle bit sticky but that's ok) and get dressed in loose baggy clothing. 

Personally, we have always slept in our tan, but with Kiki and Klo you can shower after 1 hour for a sunkissed glow. If you do decide to sleep in it like us, don't worry, it will never overdevelop (we are living proof).

Now when you're finally done marinating and ready to rinse, have a quick shower with no body wash to remove the excess tan from the skin.  Now this is the important part to making your tan last. After your first shower, dab yourself dry and do not apply any extra oils or creams to your skin. Why? because our tan will keep developing throughout the day and any barriers on the skin will prevent this!

However, every shower after that - lather yourself in body oil and moisturiser to keep your skin plump, glowy and not looking like an expensive loaf of tiger bread.

And there you have it, the guide to the perfect tan every single time with Kiki and Klo! Basically fool proof right?

Try this routine and let me know if it changed your life (it's okay we already know we're right)
