Do you want to get tanned, but don’t like the sun and don’t want to spend money? Discover how to make homemade self-tanner using black tea:
In a country like Brazil, there is summer practically all year round, it is difficult to meet anyone who doesn’t want that impeccable tan to call their own. The problem is that not everyone likes or can sunbathe, right? The good self-tanners out there aren’t very cheap either.
If you are part of that group who would like to get a little color, but prefer not to burn in the sun and don’t want to spend on a chemical product, or don’t like the orange tone that many self-tanners leave on the skin, we have the solution: a homemade self-tanner, cheap and natural!
Doesn’t it sound interesting? Even better is discovering that the homemade self-tanner you’re about to learn about contains nothing more than black tea.
As you will see, in addition to not damaging the skin and not being a chemical product, black tea ensures that your skin becomes a tone darker with just one application. And, speaking of application, applying the tea to the skin is also a much easier task than in the case of ready-made products available on the market. Want to see?
Learn how to make homemade self-tanner:
What takes?
1 liter of water
10 black tea bags (at least)
OR
8 tablespoons of fresh black tea
How to make?
Boil the water and turn off the heat. Then add the tea, in bags or in nature. Then just cover and wait for 20 minutes, until the tea is ready.
The next step is to strain and let the black tea cool completely, for at least 2 hours.
How to apply homemade self-tanner?
Once your tea is cold, you can apply it using a soaked sponge or cotton pad. Or you can also put the tea in a spray bottle and sprinkle it over your body and spread it with your hands.
Regardless of the method chosen to apply your homemade self-tanner, it is important to follow the same rules that we have already shown here, in this other article, about the most efficient way to apply self-tanners. As you will see, you need to have clean skin to avoid stains, in addition to paying attention to the so-called “fold areas”, that is, the joints.
According to women who have already used black tea to make their body more tanned, a good tip is to add a little body oil of your choice to the recipe. This helps lock the color into the skin while hydrating it.
Finally, if you have tea, you can store it in the refrigerator for a week. After that, in addition to being perishable, the infusion loses its effectiveness as a self-tanner.
