Dry Skin & Self Tan: How to Avoid Patchiness This Winter

Nov 19, 2025

If you’ve ever applied self-tan in winter and ended up with uneven patches, you’re not alone. Dry skin is the biggest culprit - but it’s totally preventable. Here’s how to keep your tan even, luminous, and patch-free with Lusso Tan.

Understand the Problem

When skin is dry, it absorbs tan unevenly. Rough areas cling to colour while other parts barely take any — the perfect storm for streaks and spots.

1. Exfoliate Gently, But Thoroughly

Use Lusso Tan Exfoliating Mitt to buff away dead skin. Do this 24 hours before tanning so your skin has time to settle.

2. Don’t Skip Primer

The Lusso Tan Primer is a game-changer for dry skin. It hydrates, smooths, and balances the skin’s surface, helping your tan glide on evenly.

3. Choose Hydration-Rich Formulas

Go for Lusso Tan Self Tanning Lotion instead of mousse if your skin’s feeling tight. The lotion adds moisture while it tans, keeping your skin supple and streak-free.

4. Moisturize Daily

Post-tan care is crucial. Apply Gradual Tan or PRIMER daily. Avoid oil-based moisturizers that can break down your tan.

5. Refresh, Don’t Pile On

When your colour starts to fade, use the Lusso Tan Tan Removing Shower gel (especially the Winter Nights scent!) before reapplying. This keeps your glow even instead of layering tan over dry patches.

Good skin = great tan. Keep your skin happy, and your Lusso Tan glow will thank you.
