A consistent glow is easier when self tanning becomes a weekly routine instead of a last-minute rescue. With a simple schedule, you can avoid patchy buildup, keep skin hydrated, and always know when your color needs a refresh.
Day 1: Reset and Smooth
Remove uneven fade
If your old tan is patchy, gently exfoliate before applying anything new. Focus on elbows, knees, ankles, wrists, and areas where clothing rubs.
Hydrate after exfoliating
Apply body lotion and give the skin time to soften. Hydrated skin helps the next application look smoother.
Day 2: Apply Your Main Tan
Choose your glow level
For a flexible weekly routine, 2bmaagic Express Tanning Gel Cream works well because it gives visible warmth without needing a complicated schedule.
Use a clean mitt
Apply in sections with long sweeping motions. Use less product on hands, feet, elbows, knees, and ankles.
Days 3 to 5: Maintain
Moisturize daily
Body lotion is the simplest way to keep your tan looking even. Apply after showering and whenever skin feels dry.
Shower gently
Use lukewarm water, avoid harsh scrubbing, and pat dry with a towel. This helps color fade softly rather than in patches.
Day 6: Assess the Fade
Look in natural light
Check whether the tan is still smooth. If it looks even but lighter, you may only need a small refresh. If it looks patchy, plan a full reset.
Avoid stacking blindly
Adding fresh tan over uneven old color can make patchiness worse. Smooth the base before your next full-body application.
Build Your Glow Wardrobe
Use deeper color when needed
If you want a stronger bronze for a trip or event, 2bmaagic Extreme Tanning Gel Cream can be used intentionally rather than every week.
Shop by routine

The best weekly routine is simple: reset when needed, apply with control, moisturize daily, and refresh only when the base is ready.
