Hi Dominque, as I Professional Spray Tan Artist I Loved this video and your suggestions. I can not spray tan myself easily, I usually am in my back yard with my tent trying to be a contortionist to get all the areas. I have tried several of these products and I love the mousse brands the best. I also recommend the same tanning drops for the face as spraying sometimes comes out spotty if someone squints or scrunch up their nose. I can blend it out but spray solution is different and gets into the skin fast and the solution is drying to the skin. The drops with the moisturizer is wonderful and if you are someone who is older and have dry and/or wrinkled or sagging a little in some area’s the drops are a blessing. You don’t have to have a perfect 20 year old body to show some skin and your video was great for all of us over 45 to still have that glow safely without hrs in the damaging sun. Thanks for sharing 😉
Great video, so informative! I’m wondering how face tanner works for faces with age spots or I should say sun damage. I would guess the tanner would not look even? 💗
I tried the drops. It is dryer and less sticky than b.tan forever + ever, but it has more of an orange cast. So I am sticking w the b tan on my face as well. It DOES accentuate my age spots on my face, but I feel there has to be some trade off to have some color on my skin. I am staying put of the sun bc of skin cancers.
Dominique 🧡 I adore you and I know you don’t mind my extra skin love. I tell my clients to be very mindful of applying any self tanners to your face. A good selfless tanner will work with your melanin naturally. If it does it will actually make Melasma and age spots darker. If you use one that simply stains it will do the same. We also see break outs and issues with fungal activity. Stick to the body. Try to use a powder bronzer on the face or just love your natural color. Also DHA use to be more chemically derived, so yes use a natural or organic formula and read the label. As women we don’t need any more chemicals on or in our bodies. Blessings and Happy Mother’s Day Dominique and everyone 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Yay!!! Thanks so much. I’ve been self-tanning since diagnosed with melanoma over 20 years ago and I’m always up for a new self tanner. You are the best my friend!!!❤️😘👏🏻👏🏻
What a great video! I love the mitt over the brush hack. I never wanted to do them, because my husband wasn't around when I was doing it and then I didn't want to mess with the back later. Question? Do you find any dark marks on your body are magnified when you use this, such as hyperpigmentation. Suggestion for a future video. I know your Mom is aging and I think that is something a lot of us are dealing with. Do you have any great ideas to make the transition less stressful for everyone? Any idea would help! Happy Mother's Day to you and your Mom!
I should definitely do this! When I was young, I did not tan evenly and considering that I have light, Irish skin that I got from my father, I burn easily. These products definitely appear to be better than the instant tanning product that was available to us when I was a teenager! It was called QT which stood for Quick Tan, and it stank to high Heaven! And if you didn’t immediately wash this stuff off of your hands, they would be a nasty shade of blotchy orange, especially in the creases!
You will still get the hands if you don’t (immefiately) get it off them. Ive not had a mitt and used my hands. Washed them when i was done with soap but still turned orange since my hands were dry. I guess the time it took to cover my body was just too long and it stuck! I like to use rubber gloves. Ive had a few mitts leak the tanner through to my hands- lol.
SOOOOO HELPFUL!! I’ve been scared of using them since I looked like an Orangutan 🦧 in the 9th grade! That’s been 40 years ago!!! I cannot wait to try again! By the way, I just love you and everything you share with us! Keep blessin’ us! Be blessed!
I'm guessing you never had a pregnancy if you have a flat stomach, unfortunately most women that have had a, pregnancy end up with a bit of a bulge no matter what you do it never completely goes away
@@michelles2299 Really ??? its mothers day She has a beautiful son And she earned that body because she has worked hard to manage her temple.. happy mother's day Michelle be blessed and humble Love from Montreal
I use all of these products as well quick tan by Body drench is actually my favorite along with the spray by b.tan. I find that the sprays absorb into my skin where the mousse is a little too water-based and my skin can only absorb so much so I always have to do two or more layers. If you let yourself to air dry for roughly 5 minutes between the spray ones you can actually give yourself a pretty nice dark tan. I find that quick tan actually does stay whatever color you spray on your body fairly well and within an hour or so. My trick since I do use all of the same products and I mean all moose included, is to get a continuous spray bottle and mix all of them together in one spray bottle. That way you have the 11-day formula from b.tan mixed with the instant bronzing from body drench etc. I also apply with just regular latex gloves and rub it in versus using a mitt I feel the mit absorbs too much of the color. I do use a mitt to apply it to my back I just have to do two or three more layers to get it to the same darkness as when I just rubbed it into my skin with a latex gloves. Trust the process with the latex gloves but I do end up using less product and get a darker result
Great video Dominique - just love the scrub brush hack for the back, genius! Two questions: 1) How does your facial skin care work with the self tan? I always avoid tanning my face thinking it will mess with my skincare. 2) With the sprays, how do you avoid it going everywhere and staining everything in your bathroom?
I’ve used the self-tanning drops before, and just mixed it with my face moisturizer. I’ve had a change in face maintenance (lol) though, so I don’t know how it might work for me now. I’d love to hear more answers/suggestions about Question #1!!!
I’m curious about this as well. I use self tanner on my face but also have a pretty aggressive daily skin care routine. I notice my “tan” seems to disappear after my nightly skin care routine. I can see it on my cotton pads and washcloth. I have to reapply tanner daily…kind of a pain.
I have discovered that no matter what I try it always happens especially as I get older - so now I just use a bronzer makeup for my face only and never do the drops or ANY kind of self tanner for face - !
You are a blessing to women! I love how authentic and genuine you are. You have taken some of the fear of self-tanning off the table. Great tips! PS: I am totally impressed and a little jealous of how toned and fit your body is :)
You are the “Consumer Reporter “ for us all! Wow! I’m excited to try a new product! I see a myriad of self tanners online and in the stores but hesitant to purchase because of…number one…like you said that awful smell, funky colors, etc. You are our go-to person. Unafraid to jump in and give us all the good, the bad, and the ugly about products! I think you need to patent that back tanner applicator idea! Genius! 💡 You are so beautiful and your energy is contagious! So thankful that you give younger ladies an alternative to dangerous tanning methods! May is Melanoma cancer awareness month!!! Wish you and these options had been around when I was a tanning teenager! 🌞🥰🙌🏻
I love this. I’m glad they changed the formulas to have no smell now and fast drying. I think I might give it a try again. A swim suit looks for the summer video would be great!
I literally was just confronted with the back application conundrum this week when I looked in the mirror and noticed the obvious deMarcation line from my tan shoulders to paler back when wearing a sundress 😂 Thank you for the brilliant tan back hack !😘 I use ST Tropez self tan classic mousse and love the results but will try the one you mentioned for the 10 day wear 👍. Who’s shorts are you wearing ?.. they are a nice fit on you ! Thanks for all the good tips/ hacks🙏 Happy Mothers Day 🌷
This was a highly informative video, thank you! I appreciate that they contain "clean" ingredients. Very interested in the Tanologist drops. Curious if you've ever tried Jergens Natural Glow that's applied in the shower on wet skin. No rinsing, just pat dry with your towel (doesn't transfer any color to the towel). It's buildable color which I like for color control but it contains two different parabens. Your thoughts if you have the time. Take care.
Well, I'm a dark-skinned sista, and what's really beautiful about this video is I feel "complimented" seeing that others want to look more like me! In my younger days, my skin color was regarded as undesirable by my own race and other races. I support women doing whatever they like if it makes them feel confident and pretty, so enjoy your new self-tanned look!
I agree. Natural melanin is a blessing from The Most High God. I thank Him everyday for His decision to bless me with beautiful brown skin. We all should love the skin color that God has chosen for each and everyone one of us. He makes no mistakes.
I love this!! Life Soul Centered...I have no idea how old you are, but I remember as a young girl, watching Julia. The dynamic and gorgeous Diahann Carrol played Julia, a hard working nurse and single mom. In one episode, her son asked why everyone was laying out in the sun on the beach....she said, "I don't know! Maybe because they think Black is Beautiful!" I have never forgotten that and I totally agree!
@@maureenfox7871 Black is beautiful. We (Blacks) come in so many different shades. That is what makes us so beautiful. God knew what He was doing when He created our numerous range of skin colors. Praise The Lord!!!
Loving the mitt over the brush trick!!! I needed that one !!! By the way I got eyelash extensions, I am a happy girl, you were my inspiration💕 They are thick and fluffy Yay ❤️❤️❤️
@@LisaMarie-rh5yn I have had them on for five days and they are so nice!!! I will go in for a touch up in about two to three weeks!!! My routine is so much quicker and I absolutely love the way they look, they are so much lighter in weight than I thought they would be as well.
@@Ps44445 Oh my gosh, for me these are so much better!!!! They look they are your own lashes!!!! I have used magnetic lashes, strip lashes, and struggled at times with those. I will probably take a break at some point with these, but for summer they are a win win!!!! No mascara needed YAY!!!
Great video Dominique, My question is for some of us older gals who may have tanned in the 70and 80’s and now sad to say have those nasty sun marks on face and hands.. when I self tan I noticed that the dark marks also tan and they show up more so even though I love the look of a healthy glow any suggestions as to how we can prevent those dark spots from getting even darker with the self tanning lotions? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have the same issue. I should probably do some lasers and that might help. The spots make me feel old 😞 but I want a tan look. I havent had a real tan in 20 years but feel like I wouldnt see them if I did a little baking. Where’s my Bain De Soleil!
wayyyy LOVE this video!!! THANK YOU as I bought three dffrnt self tanning products but stillll hvnt used them as I was/am totally scared that it Soo won't turn out!!😭😭 THIS is Soo helpful so now I'm going to definitely try my self tanning!😊 Thank YOU!!!🤗🤗
I love the Bondi Sands self tanners! The green can definitely seem scary at first but I find it really helps to counteract any potential orange hue. Great for people with more olive skin tones or for those who are worried about ending up orange. Just have to deal with the green skin while it’s developing lol!
Dominique, do you have any issue with tanner making age spots/hyperpigmentation orange? I used a gradual tanner and the background skin was great, but amplified the spots big time.
I am a big fan of you and your shows. I do not want to be critical, but using all those chemical products all over your body, face, and hair makes your skin burn. I believe in natural staff. For example: use coconut oil for your face; use vinegar for your hair; use coffee as a scrub for your and use vitamins D from the sun just for 5-10 min a day will do much good
I work outside and my upper body is tanned.. I just need these legs to match 🤣🤣.. How do you get the color to match a natural tan (upper body) or is that a stupid question 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Love your tanning hacks! One big question for me (faux tan newbie) how do you maintain your tan for the summer months? I bought the mousse and a lotion which ended up being a bad combination as the lotion lifted the mousse tan off in stripes on my legs (yikes) so now trying to scrub everything off and start from pale as it were. With the tan forever do you just do a maintenance application once a week ? Need some guidance From a woman with zebra legs 🤓😅
Love this tutorial; thank you so much! I do have a question: Do you apply the tanning drops (suspended in the moisturiser, of course) on the eyelids? And what about your ears? They would seem hard to do.
Hi Dominique, I literally just watched the self tanning video you did 4 years ago and did a Happy 💃 when I saw this video hit RUclips this afternoon! Thanks for another fantastic video and Happy Mother’s Day!!
The body drench , did live up to it’s name , it drenched me and my bathroom floor . Extremely messy application that dribbled all over once sprayed . Would not recommend . Inferior to St Tropez mousse .
Thanks for doing this for us, very helpful tips. Just bought Body Drench and was a bit anxious about doing it. Feeling more confident now! Wondered about application to my back. Great tip. Wondering how you adjust your foundation after tanning your face? Happy Mother's Day to you and your Mom
Thank you so much! Do you have a video that talks about your sheets and what that’s like throughout the week after using these tanning products and if they wash out? I’m concerned about natural detox while sleeping etc. lol
Love a good self tan! You're so right, exfoliating before application is key. That mousse that lasts 11 days sounds amazing. Clean Tan and Loving Tan are also both great and less toxic. They last over a week & gives me a dark glow that makes me look like I've actually been laying out in this SoCal sun.
Not about your video but question about Houston. Im going to be coming to Houston and staying at the Post Oak, is this the best hotel or something better that you know of and what would be the best place for amazing dinner its my 50th birthday and plan on having a great time.
Thanks a lot, Dominique for your tips! Great as always. But for weeks I seem to be concentrating on your eyelashes. Hope you don't mind me saying that they look super unnatural. I would sue the person who did those. 🙄😂🤗
I wear white everything all summer long, tops, shorts, pants, dresses linen, & jackets. What is the best sunless tanner for me, that will not bleed or rub on to clothes or sheets??? I am a newbie to the tan in a can.
I did it! I was actually successful. I followed your instructions for exfoliating and I used Jergens from your previous video and no streaks. It looked great! Thanks so much. Ps. The mitt was a game changer as was the mitt on the brush .
I love b.tan! They have many different blends I have one it’s a little green at first then it turns , nice color have tried 3 of them Walgreens and Walmart carry them too
A video of my dreams ✨️ ♥️ I have never been a sun worshiper. I've wanted to self tan, but I worry about the streaking, blotches and stink. Thanks to you, I'm ordering a few products and I'm going to be bold & give it a try!!! You are wonderful ❤️ Thanks 😊 🙏 ❤️
I’m with you Marypierce - thank you so much for the video. I have always wanted to try as I’m very fair and am getting on with a few spider veins showing in my legs which makes wearing dresses not as comfortable as I’d like. I haven’t tried before as I wasn’t sure where to start - saving this one for future referral 💫🙌
Enjoyed this very informative tutorial. You did a great job! Do you have any suggestions on how to make the self tanner last longer? ( besides using the one that lasts for 11 days)Also I find that with my legs ,after a few days, the tanner wears off very spotty even though I moisturize daily. Do you need to exfoliate the self tanner off the legs completely before reapplying?
Ever since one of your first "tan-in-a-can" videos, I have self-tanned in the summer. This was the best full tutorial that I've seen. I would like to add that I like drops for my face as well. I have a makeup brush that the handle fell off that I now use to apply my face tan/moisturizer and it works great.
S Godbout, do apply this to your face in the morning or evening? And would u mind listing your sequence? I use retinol, moisturizer and an extra thick cream, so not sure where to fit it in.
Dominique, can you talk about the self tan removal process? I have used tan eraser, exfoliation gloves and body brushes,)..but it takes days for me to remove all of the old tan. Any advice? Great video and you are always so stunning!!
Have you tried Bronzed Cactus yet? I just did and I LOVE it. They have the face drops, a great exfoliating mitt, and a back applicator!!! I think they are running a Mother's Day sale, too. My daughter told me about them and so glad she did, it's the BEST I have ever tried.
Such a great video! What I find most challenging is wether to put self tanner on my hands and feet.I feel sometimes it looks obvious that you self tanned if not including your fingers and toes but also very difficult to make it look natural.
Self-tanning is not my thing, but preparation is essential and this is important if you want to tan in the sun. Getting your community through this process and all explanations as well as your preparation to know all products is such a pleasure to listen and watch. Thanks for sharing this with your community. Big hug from Italy 🤗🤗🤗
I do a similar step with lotion to prevent dark spots from being darker. I also, use a cotton swab over the spots to be sure not much tanner stays on those spots. I have recently noticed a couple of places that have lost pigment. I put on those places a tinted tanner.
Also make sure to clean your mitt regularly! 😊 Any buildup will affect the tanner application. Thanks, Dominique! Edited to add: I am incredibly fair and love the b. tan formula with the violet base! It keeps me from looking too orange.
Just remember, everything you put on your skin including moisturizers, tanning lotions, perfume, etc does go through your body (the chemicals) and your liver goes to work to eliminate it. So, yes, you are tan and moisturized but your body reacts to anything you put on your skin, scalp, feet, nails, etc. Some time ago I read an article about what your body goes through when you put nail polish on your toes and fingernails, it is akin to causing your body to do the flight or fight mode when we are alarmed. These products DO affect the inner organs, soft tissue, etc. I have stopped doing my nails with anything that has chemicals, I have also stopped using perfume on my body and instead spray my clothing. I do not use antiperspirant, but instead use a natural deodorant without aluminum. So many people are fighting cancer these days - more so than back in the "olden days". Try using natural products. Read the ingredients on each product you intend to use on your body including your scalp, feet, nails, etc.
If you like a tan self tanning is the way to go. I just had biopsies on my nose from sunburn in my younger years. I have a lot of age spots and self tanning would only emphasis them so sadly cannot do it.
I love the care and consideration of your skin that you do. You always look wonderful. For me, tans are unattractive. Guess over the years I associate tabs with skin damage so even the look of a tan doesn't rock with me. Love so much of what you share, though!
Be care-full when self-tanning! Over-use of product is not good for your skin when out in natural light! Over-tanning is the WORST that can happen! I got sun-burned once and it was NOT funny at all!
I’ve tried many self tanners in the past and had issues with some of it rubbing off. Even though I wait for it to dry, it still rubs off on my white pants, my white summer sheets, etc. What has been your experience with this? Am I doing something wrong?
But, which self tanner looks best as it starts to fade? I’ve used a lot of self tanners in the past and noticed they wear off differently. I hate the scale look, alligator skin, and skin disease look. That’s why I don’t bother anymore with self tanners.
Thank you so much, Dominique! What a blessing for our skin that self-tanners have come such a long way. Silly question: When you’re spraying on your body, isn’t there an issue with everything around you (bathroom tiles, furniture, etc.) also getting sprayed and „tanned“?
Way to sacrifice the bedroom carpet for us all. I spray tan in my shower too. You’re the best! I felt like I just spent girlfriend time hanging out in your bathroom. Ha. So fun! I just ordered some of the products. Thank you my friend.
thank you! i used to go to the box for a tan, and the lotions were SO EXPENSIVE and this was like 20 years ago. I did have a great tan, however it was so damaging to my skin. When your young you tend to think you will live forever lol.
Excellent tips Dominique. I would love if you shared some accessory advice. Elevating a simple look with either a handbag, jewelry, scarf, belt, etc. maybe throw in some sunglasses. I’m such a sunglass junkie.
I am so thankful for the time you spent explaining the process of self tanning. The products and the differences , your tips as well. I am planning on trying it , searching for a very flair skin . Also I read your amazing book and going to read it for the second time. Today I will be changing my hairstyle from long to a pixie bob ( Like the one you had in the past ) . Thank you so much for inspiring us to be bold and bless . Love you forever 😘🙏🏻
Great video as always!! I’ve been self tanning for over 10 years tried them all - My all time favorite is loving tan mousse and for hands and feet Versa Spa spray in a bottle comes out flawless … and if you are allergic to face tanning ingredients Clinique self tan bronzer I use every night wake up with a glow. And if you have the time and money nothing beats Versa Spa Pro at a tanning salon spray I one minute ☀️🌈 For the back I use that same brush application covered helps lots along with the back applicators sold on Amazon long piece with handles on each end looks like a towel.
Thank you Dominique. Very helpful guide and tips! I'm hoping you'll do a video on posture. For beginners, aged (I'm 64 ) young, etc. one can have beautiful hair, skin clothes but if your posture sucks it's not pretty. Thanks for considering (?) 👏🤗
Thanks Dominique for all the great info. You are the best. I personally like a product that you had recommended some time ago..He-Shi. It works the best for me, although I did have a little problem with streaking. I did not exfoliate first, that is probably the reason. Thanks for the tips.💕
When I was 15 I was on holiday in Belgium I don’t speak Flemish so I bought what I thought was sun protection cream as it had a picture of a sun on it ,put loads on and the next morning I looked like a freaking umpa loompa ! , it turns out it was self tanning lotion🤦🏻
Great tutorial and love that you showed several brands! One thing i rarely hear people mention is its best to do tanner at night, sleep, rinse in am. Wearing it during day risk sweating it off in weird ways, clothes transfer, and smell (even though risk for smell & transfer is lower than in past- it still happens). I sleep with very light weight thin long sleeve tshirt and long light pant so nothing gets on my bedding. Good lesson for getting back. They also sell reachers for back with foam on it for putting on lotion to your back- but love your idea even better!
Great video Dominique. Love the glow of a safe tan. Love the brush hack, I also do that. I took a shortcut the other day and didn’t pull my brush out and ended up in an Instagram video with with a half tanned back. 🤪 I will not skip that step again.
The best I have found is Cinema Secrets liquid. Doesn't harm the brush and dries instantly. Used by professionals. I dip mine and then rub them out on paper towels.
Thank you so much for all of the fabulous advice. Don’t like suntanning anymore so this is perfect. Have to say by the way you look absolutely amazing your abs are fabulous
Aww, I loved this video Dominique! I've always been afraid of self-tanning because of the usual - streaks, smell, missing bits etc, so I loved all your tips, and that was a great idea applying the different products to different areas of your body so we could see things like the guide colour, development time and how long it lasts for. Really good info, and I will now be getting out that tanning mitt that is sitting redundant to get my glow-on too girl lol! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks a bunch! 👏🏼This is exactly what I was wanting you to do. I have self tanned some but was wanting it tweaked a little. Now that we are in warmer weather, I sure would like some brown on me. So appreciate all the little hacks and you trying some different brands. Last summer I bought some of the Bondi Sands and I like the color. I’m definitely going to pick up what do you use on your face. Thanks again! 🥳 You’re amazing! Big blessings 💝
Tanning is not for me. I love skin looking like porcelain! I have a friend that never tans and her skin is flawless. BUT- it's great to know what to use and how to use it if you are going to tan. Your advice and instruction is essential to be successful in someone's use of self tanning. Thank you for all your advice!
Hi Dominique - can you please do a video on stylish active wear (exercise outfits) that don't look frumpy? When it gets warm, I find myself in ugly runner's shorts and a big t-shirt. Sometimes I wear a sports bra and tank top, but the end result is horrible. I know it, but I don't know how to fix it or what to wear! HELP!

You are beautiful on the inside and outside! Love all you videos! But may I say, your own eye lashes look much better.
Great video, so informative! I’m wondering how face tanner works for faces with age spots or I should say sun damage. I would guess the tanner would not look even? 💗
That’s why I can never put self tanner on face, it makes any little spot extremely darker.
Wonder if you could put a little moisturizer on the spots 1st
I take a qtip dipped in makeup remover and wipe the age spot..
I tried the drops. It is dryer and less sticky than b.tan forever + ever, but it has more of an orange cast. So I am sticking w the b tan on my face as well. It DOES accentuate my age spots on my face, but I feel there has to be some trade off to have some color on my skin. I am staying put of the sun bc of skin cancers.
Great tips Thankyou!

I use all of these products as well quick tan by Body drench is actually my favorite along with the spray by b.tan. I find that the sprays absorb into my skin where the mousse is a little too water-based and my skin can only absorb so much so I always have to do two or more layers. If you let yourself to air dry for roughly 5 minutes between the spray ones you can actually give yourself a pretty nice dark tan. I find that quick tan actually does stay whatever color you spray on your body fairly well and within an hour or so.

That way you have the 11-day formula from b.tan mixed with the instant bronzing from body drench etc. I also apply with just regular latex gloves and rub it in versus using a mitt I feel the mit absorbs too much of the color. I do use a mitt to apply it to my back I just have to do two or three more layers to get it to the same darkness as when I just rubbed it into my skin with a latex gloves. Trust the process with the latex gloves but I do end up using less product and get a darker result
Great video Dominique - just love the scrub brush hack for the back, genius! Two questions: 1) How does your facial skin care work with the self tan? I always avoid tanning my face thinking it will mess with my skincare. 2) With the sprays, how do you avoid it going everywhere and staining everything in your bathroom?
I’ve used the self-tanning drops before, and just mixed it with my face moisturizer. I’ve had a change in face maintenance (lol) though, so I don’t know how it might work for me now. I’d love to hear more answers/suggestions about Question #1!!!
I’m curious about this as well. I use self tanner on my face but also have a pretty aggressive daily skin care routine. I notice my “tan” seems to disappear after my nightly skin care routine. I can see it on my cotton pads and washcloth. I have to reapply tanner daily…kind of a pain.
Any tips for keeping the tanner from darkening and accentuating age spots, especially those on the face?
I worry about the tanner accentuating dark spots or freckles?
I have discovered that no matter what I try it always happens especially as I get older - so now I just use a bronzer makeup
for my face only and never do the drops or ANY kind of self tanner for face - !
You are a blessing to women! I love how authentic and genuine you are. You have taken some of the fear of self-tanning off the table. Great tips! PS: I am totally impressed and a little jealous of how toned and fit your body is :)
You are the “Consumer Reporter “ for us all! Wow! I’m excited to try a new product! I see a myriad of self tanners online and in the stores but hesitant to purchase because of…number one…like you said that awful smell, funky colors, etc. You are our go-to person. Unafraid to jump in and give us all the good, the bad, and the ugly about products! I think you need to patent that back tanner applicator idea! Genius! 💡 You are so beautiful and your energy is contagious! So thankful that you give younger ladies an alternative to dangerous tanning methods! May is Melanoma cancer awareness month!!! Wish you and these options had been around when I was a tanning teenager! 🌞🥰🙌🏻
Beautiful but on camera it look orange
Hi Dominique… when you use the face drops and your face gets tanned, how do you adjust your make up? A darker shade of foundation? Bronzer?
I wish you would grow your hair and go with the auburn colors. Just stunning.
I love this. I’m glad they changed the formulas to have no smell now and fast drying. I think I might give it a try again. A swim suit looks for the summer video would be great!
I literally was just confronted with the back application conundrum this week when I looked in the mirror and noticed the obvious deMarcation line from my tan shoulders to paler back when wearing a sundress 😂
Thank you for the brilliant tan back hack !😘
I use ST Tropez self tan classic mousse and love the results but will try the one you mentioned for the 10 day wear 👍.
Who’s shorts are you wearing ?.. they are a nice fit on you !
Thanks for all the good tips/ hacks🙏
Happy Mothers Day 🌷
The tan looks quite orange
This was a highly informative video, thank you! I appreciate that they contain "clean" ingredients. Very interested in the Tanologist drops. Curious if you've ever tried Jergens Natural Glow that's applied in the shower on wet skin. No rinsing, just pat dry with your towel (doesn't transfer any color to the towel). It's buildable color which I like for color control but it contains two different parabens. Your thoughts if you have the time. Take care.
I dont like these products. I prefer my "whity" skin all year but......sure Im going to make your practic back brush with my creams.
How do you clean your tanning mit?
Well, I'm a dark-skinned sista, and what's really beautiful about this video is I feel "complimented" seeing that others want to look more like me! In my younger days, my skin color was regarded as undesirable by my own race and other races. I support women doing whatever they like if it makes them feel confident and pretty, so enjoy your new self-tanned look!
I agree. Natural melanin is a blessing from The Most High God. I thank Him everyday for His decision to bless me with beautiful brown skin. We all should love the skin color that God has chosen for each and everyone one of us. He makes no mistakes.
But never forget the SPF!
I love this!! Life Soul Centered...I have no idea how old you are, but I remember as a young girl, watching Julia. The dynamic and gorgeous Diahann Carrol played Julia, a hard working nurse and single mom. In one episode, her son asked why everyone was laying out in the sun on the beach....she said, "I don't know! Maybe because they think Black is Beautiful!" I have never forgotten that and I totally agree!
@@maureenfox7871 Black is beautiful. We (Blacks) come in so many different shades. That is what makes us so beautiful. God knew what He was doing when He created our numerous range of skin colors. Praise The Lord!!!
Lol
Loving the mitt over the brush trick!!! I needed that one !!! By the way I got eyelash extensions, I am a happy girl, you were my inspiration💕 They are thick and fluffy Yay ❤️❤️❤️
Walmart sells a self tanning sponge with long handle and also Amazon
Do you love them? How long do they stay on? That sounds amazing.
@@LisaMarie-rh5yn I have had them on for five days and they are so nice!!! I will go in for a touch up in about two to three weeks!!! My routine is so much quicker and I absolutely love the way they look, they are so much lighter in weight than I thought they would be as well.
@jennieo - had you used the magnetic or other false lashes before ? - would love to know if you have found a difference in overall look
@@Ps44445 Oh my gosh, for me these are so much better!!!! They look they are your own lashes!!!! I have used magnetic lashes, strip lashes, and struggled at times with those. I will probably take a break at some point with these, but for summer they are a win win!!!! No mascara needed YAY!!!
Great video Dominique,
My question is for some of us older gals who may have tanned in the 70and 80’s and now sad to say have those nasty sun marks on face and hands.. when I self tan I noticed that the dark marks also tan and they show up more so even though I love the look of a healthy glow any suggestions as to how we can prevent those dark spots from getting even darker with the self tanning lotions? Any help would be greatly appreciated
This is my question also!
I have the same issue. I should probably do some lasers and that might help. The spots make me feel old 😞 but I want a tan look. I havent had a real tan in 20 years but feel like I wouldnt see them if I did a little baking. Where’s my Bain De Soleil!
Yes I’ve thought about lazers, I’ve tried fade creams but to no avail.
Anyone know a good fade cream?
wayyyy LOVE this video!!! THANK YOU as I bought three dffrnt self tanning products but stillll hvnt used them as I was/am totally scared that it Soo won't turn out!!😭😭 THIS is Soo helpful so now I'm going to definitely try my self tanning!😊 Thank YOU!!!🤗🤗
I love the Bondi Sands self tanners! The green can definitely seem scary at first but I find it really helps to counteract any potential orange hue. Great for people with more olive skin tones or for those who are worried about ending up orange. Just have to deal with the green skin while it’s developing lol!
L’Oréal has great tanning drops for only $12 or so. Works well.
Dominique, do you have any issue with tanner making age spots/hyperpigmentation orange? I used a gradual tanner and the background skin was great, but amplified the spots big time.
Good question !
I sure notice that the spots look so much darker especially when the tan starts to fade. That why I hesitate to use self tanning again.
03:36 I'm gunna try that
Same problem here. ✋
On the most noticeable spots I use a Q tip dipped in alcohol and spot clean the dark spots. It helps keep them from taking in the tanner.
I am a big fan of you and your shows. I do not want to be critical, but using all those chemical products all over your body, face, and hair makes your skin burn. I believe in natural staff. For example: use coconut oil for your face; use vinegar for your hair; use coffee as a scrub for your and use vitamins D from the sun just for 5-10 min a day will do much good
I work outside and my upper body is tanned.. I just need these legs to match 🤣🤣.. How do you get the color to match a natural tan (upper body) or is that a stupid question 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Love your tanning hacks! One big question for me (faux tan newbie) how do you maintain your tan for the summer months? I bought the mousse and a lotion which ended up being a bad combination as the lotion lifted the mousse tan off in stripes on my legs (yikes) so now trying to scrub everything off and start from pale as it were.
With the tan forever do you just do a maintenance application once a week ? Need some guidance
From a woman with zebra legs 🤓😅
Love the hacks
When or Do you ever put on moisturizer ? I’m going to definitely try the drops for the face👍🏼
Love this tutorial; thank you so much! I do have a question: Do you apply the tanning drops (suspended in the moisturiser, of course) on the eyelids? And what about your ears? They would seem hard to do.
Hi Dominique, I literally just watched the self tanning video you did 4 years ago and did a Happy 💃 when I saw this video hit RUclips this afternoon! Thanks for another fantastic video and Happy Mother’s Day!!
The body drench , did live up to it’s name , it drenched me and my bathroom floor . Extremely messy application that dribbled all over once sprayed . Would not recommend . Inferior to St Tropez mousse .
Thanks for doing this for us, very helpful tips. Just bought Body Drench and was a bit anxious about doing it. Feeling more confident now! Wondered about application to my back. Great tip. Wondering how you adjust your foundation after tanning your face? Happy Mother's Day to you and your Mom
Thank you so much! Do you have a video that talks about your sheets and what that’s like throughout the week after using these tanning products and if they wash out? I’m concerned about natural detox while sleeping etc. lol
Love a good self tan! You're so right, exfoliating before application is key. That mousse that lasts 11 days sounds amazing. Clean Tan and Loving Tan are also both great and less toxic. They last over a week & gives me a dark glow that makes me look like I've actually been laying out in this SoCal sun.
I use latex disposable gloves to apply self tanner..Doesn't waste it by getting absorbed into the mitt.
Not about your video but question about Houston. Im going to be coming to Houston and staying at the Post Oak, is this the best hotel or something better that you know of and what would be the best place for amazing dinner its my 50th birthday and plan on having a great time.
Thanks a lot, Dominique for your tips! Great as always. But for weeks I seem to be concentrating on your eyelashes. Hope you don't mind me saying that they look super unnatural. I would sue the person who did those. 🙄😂🤗
I wear white everything all summer long, tops, shorts, pants, dresses linen, & jackets. What is the best sunless tanner for me, that will not bleed or rub on to clothes or sheets???
I am a newbie to the tan in a can.
I did it! I was actually successful. I followed your instructions for exfoliating and I used Jergens from your previous video and no streaks. It looked great! Thanks so much. Ps. The mitt was a game changer as was the mitt on the brush .
I love b.tan! They have many different blends I have one it’s a little green at first then it turns , nice color have tried 3 of them Walgreens and Walmart carry them too
Hi Dominique, Self tanning is a challenge for me and very excited to tune in! Hope you're having a great week and Happy Mother's Day! xo
Thank you! You too!
A video of my dreams ✨️ ♥️ I have never been a sun worshiper. I've wanted to self tan, but I worry about the streaking, blotches and stink. Thanks to you, I'm ordering a few products and I'm going to be bold & give it a try!!! You are wonderful ❤️ Thanks 😊 🙏 ❤️
Thank you so much!
I’m with you Marypierce - thank you so much for the video. I have always wanted to try as I’m very fair and am getting on with a few spider veins showing in my legs which makes wearing dresses not as comfortable as I’d like. I haven’t tried before as I wasn’t sure where to start - saving this one for future referral 💫🙌
Self tanners have come a LONG way…these concerns aren’t an issue anymore. Thankfully!
Any suggestions for us in Canada? Couldn't find any of the products on Amazon. Thank you
Enjoyed this very informative tutorial. You did a great job! Do you have any suggestions on how to make the self tanner last longer? ( besides using the one that lasts for 11 days)Also I find that with my legs ,after a few days, the tanner wears off very spotty even though I moisturize daily. Do you need to exfoliate the self tanner off the legs completely before reapplying?
Ever since one of your first "tan-in-a-can" videos, I have self-tanned in the summer. This was the best full tutorial that I've seen. I would like to add that I like drops for my face as well. I have a makeup brush that the handle fell off that I now use to apply my face tan/moisturizer and it works great.
S Godbout, do apply this to your face in the morning or evening? And would u mind listing your sequence? I use retinol, moisturizer and an extra thick cream, so not sure where to fit it in.
What type oil do u use on face?
Yes so when u do u apply it to your face? Day or night?
Dominique, can you talk about the self tan removal process? I have used tan eraser, exfoliation gloves and body brushes,)..but it takes days for me to remove all of the old tan. Any advice? Great video and you are always so stunning!!
Great question lovf to hear the answer ...and age spots coming out like a giraffe lol
Love from montreal
Have you tried Bronzed Cactus yet? I just did and I LOVE it. They have the face drops, a great exfoliating mitt, and a back applicator!!! I think they are running a Mother's Day sale, too. My daughter told me about them and so glad she did, it's the BEST I have ever tried.
Such a great video! What I find most challenging is wether to put self tanner on my hands and feet.I feel sometimes it looks obvious that you self tanned if not including your fingers and toes but also very difficult to make it look natural.
I have the same question. Could you please, dear Dominique?
Self-tanning is not my thing, but preparation is essential and this is important if you want to tan in the sun. Getting your community through this process and all explanations as well as your preparation to know all products is such a pleasure to listen and watch.
Thanks for sharing this with your community.
Big hug from Italy 🤗🤗🤗
I do a similar step with lotion to prevent dark spots from being darker. I also, use a cotton swab over the spots to be sure not much tanner stays on those spots. I have recently noticed a couple of places that have lost pigment. I put on those places a tinted tanner.
Thx for this tip. So do u put anything on cotton swab when u use it over spots ? I stopped self tanning for this reason my spots got darker
Also make sure to clean your mitt regularly! 😊 Any buildup will affect the tanner application. Thanks, Dominique!
Edited to add: I am incredibly fair and love the b. tan formula with the violet base! It keeps me from looking too orange.
Just remember, everything you put on your skin including moisturizers, tanning lotions, perfume, etc does go through your body (the chemicals) and your liver goes to work to eliminate it. So, yes, you are tan and moisturized but your body reacts to anything you put on your skin, scalp, feet, nails, etc. Some time ago I read an article about what your body goes through when you put nail polish on your toes and fingernails, it is akin to causing your body to do the flight or fight mode when we are alarmed. These products DO affect the inner organs, soft tissue, etc. I have stopped doing my nails with anything that has chemicals, I have also stopped using perfume on my body and instead spray my clothing. I do not use antiperspirant, but instead use a natural deodorant without aluminum. So many people are fighting cancer these days - more so than back in the "olden days". Try using natural products. Read the ingredients on each product you intend to use on your body including your scalp, feet, nails, etc.
If you like a tan self tanning is the way to go. I just had biopsies on my nose from sunburn in my younger years. I have a lot of age spots and self tanning would only emphasis them so sadly cannot do it.
I love the care and consideration of your skin that you do. You always look wonderful. For me, tans are unattractive. Guess over the years I associate tabs with skin damage so even the look of a tan doesn't rock with me. Love so much of what you share, though!
Thanks for sharing!!
Be care-full when self-tanning! Over-use of product is not good for your skin when out in natural light! Over-tanning is the WORST that can happen! I got sun-burned once and it was NOT funny at all!
I am born tanned...I am Hispanic...but I love hearing Dominique presenting the products...so much fun!!
I’ve tried many self tanners in the past and had issues with some of it rubbing off. Even though I wait for it to dry, it still rubs off on my white pants, my white summer sheets, etc. What has been your experience with this? Am I doing something wrong?
Great Q - I agree, would love to hear what we can improve? Sounds like it's not a possibility for her.
Thought you were doing a video with Audrey for Mother’s Day……dang……well Happy Mothers Day to you and Audrey. Hope you have a happy blessed day.
But, which self tanner looks best as it starts to fade? I’ve used a lot of self tanners in the past and noticed they wear off differently. I hate the scale look, alligator skin, and skin disease look. That’s why I don’t bother anymore with self tanners.
Thank you so much, Dominique! What a blessing for our skin that self-tanners have come such a long way. Silly question: When you’re spraying on your body, isn’t there an issue with everything around you (bathroom tiles, furniture, etc.) also getting sprayed and „tanned“?
Yes, I usually spray in my shower, but for the sake of this video, I had to do it in a more open space
Way to sacrifice the bedroom carpet for us all. I spray tan in my shower too. You’re the best! I felt like I just spent girlfriend time hanging out in your bathroom. Ha. So fun! I just ordered some of the products. Thank you my friend.
Great video!! Does that body come in a can? LOL, you're inspiring and you look amazing!!
Haha! You're too sweet... thank you ☺️
thank you! i used to go to the box for a tan, and the lotions were SO EXPENSIVE and this was like 20 years ago. I did have a great tan, however it was so damaging to my skin. When your young you tend to think you will live forever lol.
Could you show how you apply self-tanner to hands and feet? That's always an issue for me.
You are one tan lady!!! Do you have to adjust your makeup tones?
Excellent tips Dominique. I would love if you shared some accessory advice. Elevating a simple look with either a handbag, jewelry, scarf, belt, etc. maybe throw in some sunglasses. I’m such a sunglass junkie.
I would but it smells terrible I'd just rather be pale be me forget it all
Great information! What’s the opinion on the Jergens lotion tanner?
I am so thankful for the time you spent explaining the process of self tanning. The products and the differences , your tips as well. I am planning on trying it , searching for a very flair skin . Also I read your amazing book and going to read it for the second time. Today I will be changing my hairstyle from long to a pixie bob ( Like the one you had in the past ) . Thank you so much for inspiring us to be bold and bless . Love you forever 😘🙏🏻
So were you all different colors by the end of the demonstration? lol
Love the Farmhouse Fresh Lustre Drench Instant Glow Dry Oil & FHF Bronze Fox Tanning Drops.
Great video as always!! I’ve been self tanning for over 10 years tried them all - My all time favorite is loving tan mousse and for hands and feet Versa Spa spray in a bottle comes out flawless … and if you are allergic to face tanning ingredients Clinique self tan bronzer I use every night wake up with a glow. And if you have the time and money nothing beats Versa Spa Pro at a tanning salon spray I one minute ☀️🌈 For the back I use that same brush application covered helps lots along with the back applicators sold on Amazon long piece with handles on each end looks like a towel.
Ahhhhh, now I know how to tan my back! Great job, Dominique!
I just got the clear gel one from B Tan I loveeeeee it !!!
Thank you Dominique. Very helpful guide and tips! I'm hoping you'll do a video on posture. For beginners, aged (I'm 64 ) young, etc. one can have beautiful hair, skin clothes but if your posture sucks it's not pretty. Thanks for considering (?) 👏🤗
Thanks Dominique for all the great info. You are the best. I personally like a product that you had recommended some time ago..He-Shi.
It works the best for me, although I did have a little problem with streaking. I did not exfoliate first, that is probably the reason. Thanks for the tips.💕
Hi Dominique, I really have night sweats at my age, and find the self tanner all over my sheets the next morning. Any ideas?
When I was 15 I was on holiday in Belgium I don’t speak Flemish so I bought what I thought was sun protection cream as it had a picture of a sun on it ,put loads on and the next morning I looked like a freaking umpa loompa ! , it turns out it was self tanning lotion🤦🏻
Dominique, thank you so much for your great content and being so positive and awesome!!!!
Great tutorial and love that you showed several brands! One thing i rarely hear people mention is its best to do tanner at night, sleep, rinse in am. Wearing it during day risk sweating it off in weird ways, clothes transfer, and smell (even though risk for smell & transfer is lower than in past- it still happens). I sleep with very light weight thin long sleeve tshirt and long light pant so nothing gets on my bedding.
Good lesson for getting back. They also sell reachers for back with foam on it for putting on lotion to your back- but love your idea even better!
Great video Dominique. Love the glow of a safe tan. Love the brush hack, I also do that. I took a shortcut the other day and didn’t pull my brush out and ended up in an Instagram video with with a half tanned back. 🤪 I will not skip that step again.
Would you do a video on the best way to clean your makeup brushes without causing damage to the shaft or bristles. Enjoy all of your videos :)
The best I have found is Cinema Secrets liquid. Doesn't harm the brush and dries instantly. Used by professionals. I dip mine and then rub them out on paper towels.
Thank you so much for all of the fabulous advice. Don’t like suntanning anymore so this is perfect. Have to say by the way you look absolutely amazing your abs are fabulous
Aww, I loved this video Dominique! I've always been afraid of self-tanning because of the usual - streaks, smell, missing bits etc, so I loved all your tips, and that was a great idea applying the different products to different areas of your body so we could see things like the guide colour, development time and how long it lasts for. Really good info, and I will now be getting out that tanning mitt that is sitting redundant to get my glow-on too girl lol! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks a bunch! 👏🏼This is exactly what I was wanting you to do. I have self tanned some but was wanting it tweaked a little. Now that we are in warmer weather, I sure would like some brown on me. So appreciate all the little hacks and you trying some different brands. Last summer I bought some of the Bondi Sands and I like the color. I’m definitely going to pick up what do you use on your face. Thanks again! 🥳 You’re amazing! Big blessings 💝
Tanning is not for me. I love skin looking like porcelain! I have a friend that never tans and her skin is flawless. BUT- it's great to know what to use and how to use it if you are going to tan. Your advice and instruction is essential to be successful in someone's use of self tanning. Thank you for all your advice!
Great tips thanks Dominique
Do these products help covering varicose veins ?
Wow thanks for the mitt hack for ur back!! I’m definitely sharing this info
Hi Dominique - can you please do a video on stylish active wear (exercise outfits) that don't look frumpy? When it gets warm, I find myself in ugly runner's shorts and a big t-shirt. Sometimes I wear a sports bra and tank top, but the end result is horrible. I know it, but I don't know how to fix it or what to wear! HELP!
Great idea!
Thanks so much for doing this research! You make life so easy for us! Have a happy Mother’s Day ❤️
Thank you, you’re so kind, sharing all those little tips we us. . I don’t do tanning but I love your videos
