You don’t need to break up with your actives just to self-tan... 👀
You just need to be SMARTER about how you use them!
One of my biggest skin faux-pas is over exfoliating or over retinoid-ing and making the tan blotchy
If your skin barrier is irritated, dry, or compromised, your (fake) tan won’t look good (or last). That smooth tan glow you want? It comes from healthy, hydrated skin. So if you’re using actives, make sure to keep your barrier strong and moisturize like you mean it.
Use your actives, just don’t abuse them! 🤍
