OK, we admit, there are more serious problems happening in the world today, but how annoying are those things? Anyone who has, at least for once, forgotten to take care of their airbrush tanning relates to us better. The creases, streaks, and the lines Ahh. It sucks, we know! Specifically, if we talk about neck tanning, the neck in the entire body is the most difficult area to get the tan.
The reason behind: We constantly make the head movements upside down, left to right, and while we do this, the necks move and develop the creases (which irritates us) as the streaks/creases stick around for weeks, even months after they start to “adorn” your skin. While this is not the problem usually, when airbrush spray tan is drying, this can lead to lines that will give you a zebra-like appearance.
So now, what is the best way to fix them?
There are few options to choose from. First, you’ll need to remove the existing streaks, which can be done at home, and then you can apply the product onto your neck, whether it be a new airbrush tan, self-tanning product, or makeup used daily to blend your neck with the rest of your beautifully tanned body.
Exfoliate and scrub adequately
