If you burn before tanning, this is an indicator of how dark your can realistically get with a faux tan before your start to look orange. "From my experience, clients who have more melanin in their skin hold tans longer than those who have light complexions," said Tan-Luxe's lead artist, Alexandra DiMarchi. "Normally, I ask clients if they burn while tanning because it will give me an idea of what percentage DHA their skin can handle. I always say, 'everyone has their own definition of being pale.' Be realistic about the shade you're choosing."
"Clear tanners allow you to see true colour as it is developing. For example, after four hours you will start to see a slight glow, then light colour at six hours. At seven to eight hours you should be at medium to dark. This method of transparent about the process, and you'll avoid the 'I lost all of my colour' notion after rinsing the product."
