Idk if this is in the right section so if not IM TERRIBLY SORRY!! I want to know what's the best way to apply self tanner so it's not streaky!! And also a great brand. I am EXTREMELY PALE. and yellow at the same time. I love the way a natural tan looks on me but that's so bad for my skin and I can't just go lay out the way I used to with a 17 month old running around!! I don't want to turn orange or be a streaked freak!! HELP!! Lol. Thanks beauties :))

Make sure you have an exfoliate. You need to exfoliate your body before doing any self tanner so it won't stick in the dry patches. Then what I usually do in the shower is shave, and put conditioner on my legs so they're extra soft 😂

Exfoliate prior to tanning especially on your ankles, knees and elbows. I always apply a thin coat of lotion to my dry areas like elbows, ankles and knees and also around my wrists so they don't darken more then the rest of my body and so I don't have crazy blotches on my wrists. Wear gloves and wash your hands after. Wait as long as you can before showering I try to wait at least 12 hours and my first shower after tanning I just use my hand to apply my body soap and and rinse then moisturize moisturize moisturize keep your skin hydrated after to prolong your tan I love the jergens gradual tan for post tanning lotion it helps my tan last longer. Good luck!
