Step One: Picking out the tan: It is important to pick a shade that can look natural on your skin. There are no specific brands to buy but make sure to pick the right shade. A natural tanned skin looks appealing where as orange over-tanned skin looks fake, so stay clear of colors too far away from your skin color. Remember that tanning is a thorough and step by step process.

Step Two: Cleanse your skin! Before applying the lotion, cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your entire body. If you do not do this, the color won’t go on evenly and it may trap dead skin cells and oil in your pores.

Step Three: Application: Begin by putting gloves on so the color does not turn your hands brown. Then apply the lotion from the feet up. Apply the lotion evenly on each limb and rub it in with small circular motions. Always apply the lotion before going outside.

Step Four: Dry it out! Before doing anything, wait until the lotion dries so that you remain blotch free! This step shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.

Step Five: Little by little: Reapply the lotion every day after showering, and shortly you will see a huge improvement!
