How to Prolong a Tan: Exfoliate Skin Those with faux glows should always do a thorough exfoliation before applying self-tanner. Dr. Purvisha Patel, M.D. and founder of Visha Skincare, says that using a scrub, like Visha Skincare Sugar Shrink Body Scrub, $36, will ensure that the self-tanner is evenly distributed, providing longer wear and a more natural-looking glow. Those who have been using fake tan products without exfoliating can start now. It'll remove any patchiness and create a more even (read: natural) bronzed goddess effect. Those with natural tans can gently exfoliate to ensure their color doesn't become patchy and it fades evenly.
