Ashley Graham on the Power of Affirmations and How to Self-Tan Like a Pro
You’re a global ambassador for St. Tropez. What are the best tips and tricks you’ve picked up for mastering an at-home self-tanning routine? It can be tricky and intimidating!
First and foremost, you have to use a mitt. The mitt is your best friend. If you use your hand, you will regret everything in life. Second, I think people are afraid of lotion. You just have to make sure you’re hitting all of the areas including your hands, your knees, your elbows, your feet. And then as far as successfully tanning that hard part on your back that you feel like you can’t quite get to, I just spray the St. Tropez Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist back there, too. Like, loads and loads and loads of sprays, and it will tan your back!
Ooh, that is a good tip!
[Laughs] Yes, if I don’t have someone here to support me, that’s what I do.
Is there anything about your beauty routine that would surprise people?
That would surprise people? I feel like people probably assume that I use a lot of products, but I really don’t. For me, it’s really about less is more, and I think the less you have in your routine, the better it probably is for your skin. It’s not like your skin wants loads of stuff anyway, at least mine doesn’t! But yeah, I just keep everything simple. I’m down to earth. I’m not too fussy about things. I’m very much a just-run-out-the-door-as-I-am type of person.
