A flawless fake tan relies on the preparation taken beforehand. The best way to prepare your skin for fake tan application is to firstly remove hair and exfoliate with a body scrub. This will create a silky-smooth canvas for your new color and also buff away any old, stubborn tan.
Next, you should ensure that skin in completely clean. That means no perfume or deodorants as they can react with the formula and turn your tan green.
To guarantee an even, patch-free tan, apply a light moisturizer or tan primer to dry areas of your body, such as the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and in between fingers and toes. This will act as a barrier and stop the tan from clinging or turning orange.
Last, but certainly not least, always apply your tan with a tanning mitt, as not only does it protect the palms of your hands but it also gives an even, seamless coverage.
