If you’re heading out on a trip, you may need to bring your sunless tanning supplies with you to keep up your bronze glow even on the road. Here are our tips to keep you looking sun-kissed wherever you are:

Flying? Know the rules

According to the Transporation Safety Administration as of this writing, liquids must be in a 3-oz or less container. So either bring your tanning lotion samples or transfer your sunless tanner to a small container.

Put the rest in a ziploc baggie to make it easy to find. You’ll need to bring:

• Q-tips (cotton swabs) or other applicator (remember to bring whatever you use to get your back tan)
• Baby wipes (for easy clean-up without ruining your friends’ guest towels!)
• Gloves (if you use ‘em)
• Exfoliating scrubber

If you won’t have much privacy while you let it dry, make sure to bring a cover-up along. The kind for swimsuits — the terry cloth pull overs or lightweight long shirts — are perfect but your robe will work fine, too.

If you’ll be somewhere where you’ll also be spending time in the sun, make sure to pack your sunscreen, too. Remember, sunless tans don’t protect you from the sun’s harmful rays. You might also consider getting a base tan from your local tanning salon for further protection.
