I’m a beauty whizz and master at fake tan – people can never tell I’m caked in it because my method makes it flawless
A BEAUTY fan has shared her method to getting a flawless fake tan so good people don’t believe it’s real.
The tan fan shared her step by step method in a TikTok video online.
Katie Faw: “One thing about me is that my tan is unclockable when it’s fake. People see me out in public like, oh my gosh, you’re so tan.”
“No, I’m not. I’m actually pale. Disgusting monster underneath. But you’ll never know. You wanna know why? Cause I know how to tan. So I’mma tell you how.”
Katie says the first thing she does is vigorously exfoliate her body.
“First thing you’re gonna do is scrub your body. You’re gonna get in the shower, you’re gonna scrub your body to the point you think you may pass away, but you’re not going to. All of your dead skins gonna come off.”
“You’re gonna scrub your body with this. You are going to get red. I want you to have no dead skin left anywhere on you. Cause it’s just gonna look horrible underneath the tan.”
Next the beauty fan lathers up with moisturiser. Katie uses the Nivea Skin Firming Body Lotion.
“Next thing you’re gonna do is use this lotion. Specifically this lotion. You can get it at Walmart, you can get it on Amazon, But you need this lotion.”
“You’re gonna put a little tiny bit, I’m talking like dom size amount, maybe even a little bit less, on your kneecaps, the back of your knees, your ankles, the bends of your elbows, your actual elbows and your underpits and anywhere that you’re a little crusty.”
Katie says don’t forget to make sure your skin is dry after the shower before moisturising.
She said: “But also remember this. If you’re doing your tan right after you get a shower, let yourself cool down. And do it when your skin is warm. And then put on the [moisturiser].

“If you’re doing it the next day, cover your body in a thicker lotion, because you’re gonna want something to, like, really hydrate your body. You’re gonna want your skin to be nourished. Otherwise it’s gonna go on patchy and not look good.”
Katie says you need to make sure you have the right mitt to apply your tanner.
“If you’re doing it the next day, you are going to use a mitt. You wanna use this because it has a rounded head, a rounded tip and you can get in all the areas that you need to get into.”
She said start from the legs and work your way up and apply evenly checking for streaks.
“We’re doing an even application. We’re doing one look at a time. We’re taking our time, but we’re spreading it out evenly. We’re looking for streaks. And we’re doing it in front of a big light or a well lit room.”

The beauty fan says if your pale you need to go for a medium toned tanner.
“Don’t use a shade dark if you don’t, like, already have darker skin. I have an olive undertone. But if you’re out here and you’re really pale and you’re trying to use a shade dark, you just need to accept the fact that you’re not that dark yet. Get the shade medium.”
After applying your tan Katies says wash it off immediately and moisturise again straight after.
