FAKE tan lovers have revealed what they use to get rid of the sticky feeling on their skin – and it's thanks to a common baby product.<\/p>\n
Those who live and breathe all things fake tan will be familiar with their body feeling sticky to touch – according to experts, it's because of a natural ingredient that gives your skin the bronzed glow.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
''Dihydroxyacetone [DHA] is naturally derived from sugars and the higher the concentration of DHA used, the higher amounts of stickiness,'' explained the beauty pros at Sundance.<\/p>\n
Luckily, there is a way to stop it – and it's so easy, you'll be mad at yourself for not having thought of it earlier.<\/p>\n
The secret to a smooth skin, turns out, is nothing but a little dash of baby powder.<\/p>\n
The hack has become all the rage on social media, with one woman, Ellie Craven, even claiming it's a game-changer.<\/p>\n
''If you're not yet caking yourself in baby powder after you fake tan then you're really doing life wrong,'' the beauty lover told her 73k followers on TikTok.<\/p>\n ''The biggest life hack you will ever get and it will change your life,'' the stunner added in the caption.<\/p>\n In her video, Ellie, who posts under the username @elliecraven0, was using Johnson's Baby Powder, which can be purchased from most supermarkets, as well as on the high street.<\/p>\n A 500g container of the parent favourite retails for \u00a32.15 at Tesco, whilst Boots offer the same product for \u00a33.50.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Whilst some may be worried the powder will ruin their tan, fellow beauty fans insisted the bronzed glow ''comes out exactly the same''.<\/p>\n One person instructed: ''I tan my whole body, wait a couple of minutes and then with a big powder brush I brush it on myself and especially armpits so I don\u2019t sweat.''<\/p>\n FABULOUS VEGAS: JOIN TO CLAIM \u00a3100 BONUS<\/strong> PLUS 50 FREE SPINS<\/p>\n The baby essential ''basically works as a setting powder for the tan'', another pro tanner added, explaining it needs to be applied whilst the tanning product is drying.<\/p>\n There are also other alternatives if you can't find baby powder or simply want to stick to more natural methods, including corn flour, a person said.<\/p>\n This cooking essential also works out to be a little cheaper than baby powder – Tesco sell a 500g package for \u00a32.10, whilst Sainsbury's own brand corn flour scans for \u00a32.45.<\/p>\n Since being shared on the platform, Ellie's clip has gone viral, winning her more than a million views and hundreds of comments.<\/p>\n ''Omg I\u2019ve been doing this for years and years, nobody ever knows what I mean,'' a tan lover revealed.<\/p>\n ''wait omg that's smart,'' someone else tagged their pal.<\/p>\n ''My new fav hack omg thanks girl,'' another had seen the video just in time.<\/p>\n 1. Choose any baby powder\/corn flour of your choice,<\/p>\n 2. Apply your self-tanner by following your regular routine,<\/p>\n 3. Allow the tan to air-dry for a couple of minutes,<\/p>\n 4. Sprinkle the powder all over your body and rub it into your skin using a brush – hands work just as well,<\/p>\n 5. Climb into bed or pull your clothes back on as your fake tan should be dry to touch.<\/p>\n The hack is also great for preventing ruined and stained bedsheets – a win-win!<\/p>\n<\/picture>YOU GO GIRL <\/span><\/p>\n
