How Tanning Really Works (So You Get Better Results)

If you know what tanning is doing to the skin, you will make better product choices and routine.

The outcome you are looking for: balanced shade plus silky texture.

The result you want: even tone + smooth finish

A premium tan looks like:

• Nautural.

• The wrists, ankles, knees, and elbows possess no clear edges as they do with spray tans.

• A glow that appears healthy instead of severe.

• A naural gradual fade instead of a patchy one.

What ruins a spray tan most often

• Dry skin seen on elbows, knees and ankles grabs colour and looks darker.

• A hurried application may result in streaks and missing patches.

• Excess use of tan can make it appear heavy.

• Not consistently maintained, therefore fades differently.

With NuTan there is no need to worry as the tan is natural and from your skins own ability to tan.

NuTan Tanning Options: Gels vs Patches

NuTan has two main approaches which are suited for two types of users.

Tanning gels the perfect accompaniment after the NuTan patches are activated in your system: control + speed

Gels are for you if you want:

•          It is speedy software.

•          Intensity can be modified.

•          An at the time of tanning application

The gels referred to in this guide.

• Coconut Extreme Tan Gel

• NuTan Watermelon Intensive Tanning Gel

Tanning patches: structure + consistency

Patches are for you if you want:

• a clear schedule

• a low-effort habit

• a routine that feels more “systemized”

NuTan patches in this guide:

• NuTan Triple Strength 20 Patches (10 sachets)

How to use NuTan Triple Strength Patches

Step 1: Treat it like a schedule, not a one-off.

Depending on the how fast you want your tan to develop you would apply either every other evenin

Step 2: Apply exactly as directed for placement and timing.

Location is very important What you do will get you similar results.

Step 3: Keep your routine stable while you assess results.

Avoid mixing different tanning methods until you see how your skin reacts.

Step 4: Track results weekly, not daily.

After using a product once or twice, people tend to overreact. Measuring progress is easier through weekly check-in.

When patches make the most sense

• You want a low-mess routine

• You like structured systems

• You want consistent progress without daily application steps

Step-by-Step NuTan Routine

Here’s a practical routine you can use worldwide, regardless of climate.

Phase 1: Preparation

1. Light exfoliation should be done to smooth the skin surface and remove any rough patches.

2. Dry areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles should be gently moisturised to support even tanning.

3. Harsh shaving or aggressive exfoliation should be avoided right before tanning, especially if your skin tends to become sensitive.

Phase 2: Getting Started

At this stage, your tanning approach can be structured in a simple and flexible way.

You can begin with one main method:

• Gel route: Coconut Extreme or Watermelon Intensive tanning gels used during sun or sunbed exposure

• Patch route: Triple Strength patches used daily to support natural melanin production

However, these are not strictly separate. Once the patches are active in your system, tanning gels can also be used alongside UV exposure to enhance results.

To keep the process consistent and natural:

• maintain a stable skincare routine

• follow a regular shower pattern

• avoid layering too many products that may affect even tanning

This approach allows your skin to respond more evenly while keeping your routine simple and effective.

Phase 3: Maintain

Your goal becomes:

• maintain a consistent tone

• top up lightly (instead of restarting aggressively)

• moisturize enough so fading is smoother

Daily shower + aftercare

A premium-looking tan fades well when you:

• avoid overly hot showers (they can dry skin faster)

• moisturize regularly

• don’t over-scrub dry areas

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When using tanning gels and patches, the goal is to support your natural tan through UV exposure. However, a few simple mistakes can affect how evenly your tan develops.

Mistake 1: Applying too much product on dry areas

Elbows, knees, and ankles tend to absorb more product, which can affect how the tan develops under UV.

Fix: Use a lighter amount on these areas and keep them lightly moisturised beforehand.

Mistake 2: Skipping skin preparation

Going straight into tanning without preparing the skin can lead to uneven results.

Fix: Do a quick prep routine the day before. Light exfoliation helps the skin respond more evenly to UV exposure.

Mistake 3: Overcomplicating your routine

Using too many products at once can make it harder to understand how your skin is reacting.

Fix: Keep it simple. Start with one main method, then adjust once you see how your skin responds.

Mistake 4: Trying to tan too quickly

Rushing the process with longer exposure or heavy application does not always lead to better results.

Fix: Build your tan gradually. Natural tanning works best when it develops over time with controlled UV exposure.

Mistake 5: Not cleaning hands after gel application

Leaving product on your hands can lead to uneven absorption during UV exposure.

Fix: Wash your hands thoroughly, including palms and between fingers, after applying tanning gel.

Mistake 6: Ignoring balanced sun habits

Tanning should always be approached with care. Overexposure does not improve results and can stress the skin.

Fix: Keep sessions controlled and balanced. The aim is to support your natural tan, not overdo UV exposure.
