To get the most natural look out of a tanning cream, the application process is the most important. Use this brief step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Shave and Exfoliate

Before you rub any tanning lotion into your skin, make sure that you shave and exfoliate. The smoother your skin is, the more likely the lotion is to adhere to it and last.

Try moisturizing your skin before you apply lotion focusing on areas like your elbows and knees. By getting rid of any dryness, you can get a smoother finish.

Start from your feet all the way up to your bottom and rub the lotion into your skin in a circular motion. Rub the lotion into your skin until you can’t feel any more moisture. Wash your hands immediately afterward and scrub in between your fingers and fingernails so that they aren’t stained.
