Pay extra attention to areas where the skin is thicker or more stretchy, like your elbows, underarms, bikini line, knees, heels, and the tops of your feet.

]]> 70550 2 38 Tip Don’t shave now. If you’ve properly exfoliated, you can shave after you tan and it won’t remove the color.

]]> 70551 3 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/44.jpg Dry off Pat your body dry. Make sure your skin is not still moist and that the room is not steamy or humid.

]]> 70552 4 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/51.jpg Apply Begin applying the self-tanner, starting at the tops of your feet and working up. Use a circular motion to rub it into the skin, and apply sparingly in the places you took care to exfoliate well, since these areas often end up darker.

]]> 70553 5 65 Tip A tinted self-tanner lets you see exactly where you’re putting it, reducing the chance of streaks and missed spots.

]]> 70554 6 71 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/71.jpg Wash hands Keep an eye on the clock—after five minutes, stop applying and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and a nail brush to prevent the dreaded orange palms.

]]> 70555 7 80 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/80.jpg Continue Continue applying up to your neck, taking care not to miss any areas—like the back of your hands, the inside of your wrists, and the sides of your torso—and to stop every five minutes and wash your hands.

]]> 70556 8 92 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/92.jpg Apply to neck & face Apply tanner sparingly to your neck and face, especially at your hairline.

]]> 70557 9 98 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/98.jpg Wash hands When you’re all done, wash your hands again. Pay special attention to under your fingernails and the sides of your palms.

]]> 70558 10 105 Tip Apply a little ordinary lotion to any or all of the areas that might be too dark—like your feet, knees, and hands—to dilute the effect of the tanner.

]]> 70559 11 114 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/114.jpg Wait Wait as long as you can—at least 15 minutes or more if possible—before dressing to let your skin absorb the lotion. Try to remain standing during this time with your arms straight and away from your torso to avoid creased tan lines.

]]> 70560 12 128 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/128.jpg Put on clothes Once your skin is completely dry, put on loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing.

]]> 70561 13 134 Tip Self-tanners can stain light-colored fabrics, so if you notice a mark, wash it immediately.

]]> 70562 14 139 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/139.jpg Check for streaks Wait 2 to 4 hours for the color to develop. You’ll then be able to see if you have any streaks or missed spots.

]]> 70563 15 148 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/148.jpg Buff streaks If you have a streak, gently buff that area of your skin with a washcloth or a pumice stone. You can also try erasing the streak with an astringent pad.

]]> 70564 16 158 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180914/158.jpg Prolong tan To prolong your glorious bronze, be sure to use an alcohol-free body wash in the shower, because alcohol can cause the color to fade.

]]> 70565 17 166 Fact The first sunless tanning lotion was introduced in 1960, when Coppertone came out with QT, or Quick Tanning Lotion.
