Here's how to make nice with the best and most misunderstood beauty trick under the sun.
Fake tanning has a bad rap for good reasons.
We're using St. Tropez because its foolproof system gives the most natural color, is the easiest to use and comes with everything you need. Exfoliate your body from head to toe. Removing the dead skin cells will help the product absorb into your skin more evenly and make your tan last longer. Shave, or whatever your hair removal of choice is. Dry skin tends to make a fake tan look darker than the rest of the body so you'll want to temper the area with a layer of moisturizer to soften the skin and lighten the color.
