☀️My Summer Tanning Routine 🕶

Tanning is one of my favorite ways to feel confident and glowy in the summer. Here’s exactly what I use to build and maintain that bronzed look:

1. Start with a base tan:

I apply Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil to help me catch those first rays and build a solid base.

2. Deepen the glow:

Once my base is set, I switch to Carroten Tanning Oil—this stuff seriously takes my tan to the next level.

3. Stay cool while tanning:

I always keep a spray bottle nearby and my tanning pool when I get too warm. It helps me avoid overheating or burning too quickly.

4. If I get burned (oops):

I take a cold shower to calm my skin, then apply Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion. It’s literally magic—so soothing, and it turns any redness into a tan overnight. Total lifesaver.

Make sure the UV is 6-8, anything above is dangerous, so wear sunscreen. Get a good tanning oil/lotion. After sun body cream is needed. Exfoliate, and moisturize in the shower afterwards. Listen to music, and keep hydrated. You got this girl! If you have any questions let me know!! 💋☀️
