We’ve all been there—you’re in a rush, you need a flawless glow ASAP, and your instant tan is the only thing standing between you and golden goddess status. But somewhere between application and heading out the door, things go sideways. Streaks appear, your hands look suspiciously orange, or worst of all—your tan transfers onto your clothes.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Avoid these common instant tan mistakes and achieve a seamless, sun-kissed glow every time.
1. Skipping Skin Prep = Streaky Disaster
You wouldn’t apply foundation without prepping your skin, right? The same rule applies to tanning. Dry patches, oil build-up, and dead skin cells can make your tan apply unevenly—causing patches, streaks, and blotches.
✨ Glow-Getter Tip:
-
Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning using the Lusso Tan Shower Bar to create the perfect canvas.
-
Focus on elbows, knees, and ankles—these areas absorb more tan.
-
Moisturize lightly beforehand, but avoid thick, oil-based lotions that can create a barrier.
2. Rushing the Application Process
We get it—sometimes you just need to glow and go. But rushing through your tan can lead to uneven application, missed spots, and dreaded telltale streaks.
✨ Glow-Getter Tip:
-
Use The Instant Tanning Serum, which blends effortlessly like your favorite skincare serum.
-
Apply in circular motions with the Lusso Tanning Mitt for a flawless, streak-free finish.
-
Take your time blending around wrists, ankles, and jawline—these are the areas where mistakes show up the most!

3. Forgetting Your Hands & Feet
Nothing screams "fake tan" more than orange palms and patchy feet. Your hands and feet tend to grab onto tan more than the rest of your body, leaving them looking unnatural and overdone.
✨ Glow-Getter Tip:
-
Apply your instant tan lightly to hands and feet using a brush—like the Lusso Tan Face & Hand Brush.
-
Wipe your knuckles, wrists, and palms with a damp cloth to avoid build-up.
-
Use Lusso Tan Bath Bombs to gently fade any mistakes without scrubbing your skin raw.
4. Wearing the Wrong Outfit
Picture this: your tan is looking flawless, you’re feeling amazing, and then—boom! Tan smudges all over your white dress. Instant tan disasters like transfer and streaking can happen if you don’t give your glow a chance to set properly.
✨ Glow-Getter Tip:
-
Choose The Instant Tanning Serum, which dries quickly and won’t transfer onto clothes.
-
Avoid tight clothing immediately after application—loose, dark-colored fabrics are your best friend.
-
If you’re heading out, lightly dust your skin with translucent setting powder to lock in your glow.
5. Overdoing It on Your Face
Your face tan should be subtle, seamless, and glowy—not a shade darker than your neck. Applying too much product can make your complexion look muddy or unnatural.
✨ Glow-Getter Tip:
-
Mix Lusso The Instant Tanning Serum with your daily moisturiser for a soft, natural glow.
-
Use a fluffy brush for precise blending around your hairline, ears, and jawline.
-
If you overdo it? No worries—a gentle cleanse with warm water will soften the color in minutes.
