• Put your hair up. Do not wash your
hair at the same time you self tan.
• It does not matter if you shaved your legs or not. You may
shave them the next day after self tanning is complete.
Actually, it’s better not to shave because freshly shaved
skin irritates easily from the scrubbing and lotion.
• Get in the tub or shower. Start at one end of your body
and work towards the other. Put a dab of soap or body
wash on your soft bristle brush. Start by scrubbing gently
in small strokes- your neck, chest, shoulders, upper arms,
lower arms, elbows, hands, fingers, stomach, upper back,
lower back, butt, thighs, knees, behind the knees, calves,
ankles, feet and toes. The most important thing to
remember is to scrub one area at a time thoroughly before
moving on to the next. Scrub your face with the small soft
bristle brush and soap or face wash depending on what

insures a nice even color. Without it, streaks and
unevenness are guaranteed.
• Get out of the shower or bath. Dry your entire body with a
towel. Let your skin dry for about 15 minutes. Do not
apply any lotion.
• Squirt a medium sized amount of self tanner in the palms
of your hands. Start at one end of your body and work to
the other end. Spread the lotion evenly on the same
sections of your body you scrubbed in the shower. Make
sure you cover one area at a time thoroughly before
moving on to the next.
• When you are finished applying the self tanner, put on a
pair of leggings and a long sleeved shirt. The clothes
should be dark so they do not get stained from the self
tanner. Leave these clothes on overnight or at least 12
hours. The self tanner needs time to set for best results.
When your body is not covered in clothes, some of the self
tanner wears off on things you touch.
• To ensure that your hands, ankles, elbows, and feet don’t
come out streaky, rub them with a wet wash cloth after
you’ve put on the self tanner. Also, wash your hands with
soap once you’ve finished the self tanning process. Then
rub a dab of self tanner on the back of your hands and rub
it all over. Don’t get any on your palms.
• Shower and shave after you let the self tanning lotion set.
• The self tanner lasts about a week. It is best not to self tan
too often. Skin tends to absorb the color in layers and turn
orange if done too many times consecutively.
