There is no such thing as a safe tan but luckily we now can look as if we have been in the sun for hours.
- Exfoliate area to be tanned. This is a very important first step so don't skip over it.
- Rinse skin thoroughly. There can be no soap film from your last bubble bath.
- Do not apply moisturizer before applying the tanning product.
- Thoroughly rub the self-tanner into the skin to avoid streaks.
- Do not apply to knees, elbows or feet.
- Wash hands to remove the product. This is one area that you do not want color to develop.
- Allow color to develop.
- If smell is still an issue, wash the area well after the color has fully developed.
Tips:
Apply your self-tanners with a light hand. Additional layers can always be added later.
Dark red toe nails will look great with your freshly tanned legs.
Be sure to protect your skin with a sunscreen of at least SPF 20. If you plan a day at the beach, be sure to apply a waterproof sunscreen. It will need to be reapplied ever hour or so. Be sure not to forget!
