hours before you apply your self tan, paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and problem areas Apply lotion all over. Most self-tan how-tos will tell you to apply lotion to dry areas on your body, like ankles, knees, and elbows, but I go for a thin layer of moisturizer all over.

Just the way you like it. I am not familiar with using self tanners, but this was really easy to use and spread out! For the sake of the review I only used it on one leg to see the difference it made, and it gave a subtle tan/glow, I applied it three times, two pumps for the leg each time, once a day.

It’s confusing, I agree. All of these shades are available in mousse form. In the gel, you can choose between darkest (my fave) and insanely dark. Shower, exfoliate, and shave. I like to dry brush before I hop in the shower and use a sugar scrub in the shower because I’m a more-is-more type of gal, but I’m sure one method is plenty. Then shave where you like.

I love that this gel comes in a bottle with a pump versus a squeeze tube; I just prefer using a pump to wrangling the last bits of lotion out of a tube when it’s running low. I like that the bottle is clear so I can see how much product I have left, and 16 ounces is a lot of product for the price. I’ve had my bottle for two summers now.Wash your hands thoroughly. If you’re going to go mitt-less, you’ll want to suds up your hands right after you finish tanning, since your palms don’t naturally tan and having them match the rest of your skin just doesn’t look quite right.

While spending hours on my personal care sounds divine, it’s not realistic for my life right now — but I still want to feel confident in shorts, dresses, and bathing suits this summer.

The color never pulls orange on me, lasts about seven days, and fades beautifully. The TL;DR
