Splotchy, uneven tans are a major summer don’t, but it’s obvious that know one try’s to get an uneven tan on

You don't have to spend a million bucks to look like one, just stop by your favorite CVS and pick up a body scrub like this one (that's how I got mine!)
purpose. We all go to the beach looking for fun and a nice even tan, but sometimes when you return home in the evening you are left with a tan that’s anything but smooth and even and all over gorgeous. So how do you get the perfect tan? You exfoliate first.
Uneven, rough tans are the product of uneven, rough skin. When dead skin cells pile up on the skins surface it makes skin dry and rough, causing your tan to be darker in some places then others. But when you exfoliate you get rid of dead skin cells and expose new, fresh, skin cells, causing skin to be smooth and even, therefor causing your tan to be smooth and even too.
Exfoliating is simple and if you don’t know what it is or how to do, I will explain. When you exfoliate you rub tiny bead like objects against your skin causing the dead skin cells on your skin surface to come off. That makes skin smoother, softer, and for some can makes wrinkles less noticeable. You can also use exfoliating gloves or pads. If you forget to exfoliate before going to the beach but still want a nice tan, try rubbing sand on your legs and arms.
Grab some sand aand get exfoliating, beacause the secret to a great tan, is smooth, exfoliated skin.
Comment! What do you use for exfoliating? Sand, or do you have a favorite scrub? Tell!
