How To Fake a Toned Body With Self-Tanner

Apply self-tanner to your entire body in a shade appropriate for your skin type. Wear latex gloves, or wash your hands immediately after finishing.

Let the tan dry completely.

Take the self-tanner that’s one shade darker than the one you just applied and begin with your legs. Stand up, point your toe, look for your calf muscle, and apply the darker shade to the areas that appear darker.

Make saddlebags seem to disappear by applying the darker self-tanner to your outer thighs.

Camouflage cellulite by rubbing some of the dark tanner behind your legs under your butt.

Tone your tummy by sucking in your stomach and applying tanner wherever you see darker definition.

Build biceps by flexing your arms, a la Popeye, to show off your muscles; add tanner where the skin appears darker.

Create some triceps by extending your arm, making a fist, and applying tanner where you see definition on the back of your arms.

Give yourself some cleavage by putting on a push-up bra and then carefully applying the darker tanner between your breasts in a triangle.

If it’s lacking an artistic touch, visit a salon that specializes in airbrushing or contour tanning.
