08/04/2021

WHEN we finally get around to fake tanning, it's something we have to commit a whole evening to… and even then, it's still not flawless.

Well if you also struggle with annoying smudges in those hard-to-reach places, then we have some excellent news.

Last month, TikTok star Jess Sheppard revealed her little-known trick for making fake tan stay in place.

"If you're a girl who tans, I have a hack for you that's going to change your life," Jess said in her viral video.

The beauty fan explained: "Have you ever worn a white dress and worried about tan going under the armpits?

"Or just in general, getting the little patches [around your elbow]?"

While we all know that talcum powder works a treat to set it in place, Jess says that a bottle of dry shampoo will prevent the fake from smudging.

She said: "Literally just spray it on your inner elbows and under your armpits and the tan stays put.

"It doesn't get that awkward sweat patch mark. Nothing. Thank me later!"

The clip has racked up over 95,000 "likes" since it was shared two weeks ago – and people couldn't believe they hadn't thought of it.
