ALYVIE / THE BODY EDIT
Dermatologist Tested Self Tanner Body Lotion
A warm, sunless finish without planning a beach day. Smooth this self-tanning body lotion over clean, dry skin and blend one section at a time.
The night before the dress.
A little color along bare legs or above the neckline of a knit. The most natural-looking routine starts with care in your application—not a rush right before heading out.
- Prep. Exfoliate gently; use plain moisturizer on dry knees and ankles.
- Blend. Apply to dry skin in sections and wash palms afterward.
- Develop. Let dry before dressing and follow the bottle's timing.
EVERYDAY BEAUTY
Glow on your own schedule.
The finished shade varies with your natural skin tone, how much you use and how evenly you apply. Start with a small patch test, then assess the result in daylight. Self-tanning lotion does not provide sun protection.
Questions, answered.
Do I need sunshine for it to work?
No. This is a sunless body lotion. You do not need to sunbathe or use a tanning bed.
Can I use it right before an event?
It's not instant body makeup. Try it in advance and follow the development time on the packaging.
How do I avoid dark knees and ankles?
Go lightly on dry patches and blend the edges. Apply a small amount of lotion over these areas rather than starting there.
Will everyone get the same shade?
No. Your natural skin tone, amount used and application influence the finished color. Test a small area first.
Does self-tanner replace sunscreen?
No. A sunless tan is not sun protection; continue to use broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin.
