Whatever your reason for getting a spray tan, it's the perfect solution to getting fast and easy colour for any glamorous event, including a pageant competition. To ensure your tan is picture perfect, these are the four rules you need to know. 

1. Test before you commit

If this is your first time tanning, do not get sprayed before the big event unless you’ve done a “test spray” to see how your skin will react and what the colour looks like on your skin. You don't want your first spray tan experience to be a bad one, especially for an important pageant event. Book a spray tan a couple of weeks or even a month before the event and that way you have plenty of time to perfect the colour you are looking for. It's better to be safe than sorry! 

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliation is the core to a brilliant looking tan, but people often overlook it or don't exfoliate well. If you don't exfoliate then you risk dry patches of skin leaving areas of your tan looking unnaturally dark. When exfoliating pay extra attention to the common dry areas like your knees and elbows and don't forget your face! Good exfoliation will result in an even, beautiful overall colour. 

3. Don't overdo your face

The skin on your face can react completely differently than the rest of your skin, so this is important to keep in mind when using a fake tanning solution for pageants. Make sure you use a lighter colour on your face or a lighter layer. Some people may opt to use make-up instead of spraying tan on their face just to play it safe. Test this in advance and aim for a nice base tan. 

4. Stay moisturised

Moisturising is a crucial step to pre and post tan preparation. Before you apply fake tan and after you exfoliate, it's important to ensure your skin is clean and free from oils and lotions. This will help ensure an even tan application for your pageant show.
