Why is it so important to apply self-tanner correctly?
A patchy self-tanner? Not with us! Applying self-tanner correctly is key to achieving a flawless, natural-looking tan. Not only does it prevent those dreaded orange streaks, but it also helps your tan last longer. So, how do you do it?
How to Apply Self-Tanner
Step 1: Exfoliate
Before you start, exfoliate your skin! Remove dead skin cells for even application.
Step 2: Moisturize
Apply a light moisturizer to dry areas such as your knees, elbows, and ankles to prevent the self-tanner from building up.
Step 3: Choose your application method
Spray tan, mousse, lotion—there are so many options! Choose the one that works best for you for effortless application.
Step 4: Use a tanning mitt
Say goodbye to orange hands! A tanning mitt ensures even coverage and protects your palms.

Step 5: Be patient.
Let the self-tanner dry completely before getting dressed to prevent stains.
Step 6: Rinse gently
You only need to follow this step for self-tanners that you wash off. Wait 6–8 hours before showering to allow the tan to develop. Then rinse gently and pat your skin dry.
