Using fake tan is much safer than tanning beds. Using beds can increase the risk of skin cancer and causes premature skin aging! Fake tan is much safer, unfortunately it doesn't last as long. There are a few things you can do to make your tan last longer.

The easiest tans to use are the spray tans that don't require mitts. This means you won't have streaks. Tanning mousse is easy to apply but make sure you don't use too much on the knees and elbows. 

-Exfoiliate. Make sure to do this the night before you tan to remove the old skin cells so your tan will look even.

- Wear loose clothing. This is important just after you've tanned as you don't want your tight clothing to leave lines as the tan sets. 

-Moisturize. Once the fake tan has set, moisturize after every bath and this will make your tan fade evenly without patches.
