To get the job done, I personally turn to Dr. Brandy Micdrodermabrasion Skin Exfoliate , which easily buffs away dry, dead skin. And just a little extra TLC with this dry brush ensures I've gotten every last bit of my body properly exfoliated. Once my skin is all smooth and dry, I start by dispensing two drops of this formula into my hands and mixing it with my everyday lotion.
I've found this to be the trick that makes all the difference. While you can use a tanning mitt here, I prefer my bare hands as I can take my time and evenly distribute the lotion to each area. There are a few specific spots that I like to dial in on, the first being the crooks of my arms and back of my knees.
Both areas are susceptible to formulas settling into cracks and crevices. To alleviate any chances, I sprinkle baby powder beforehand. The second area is my elbows, front of knees, and ankles.
Those areas absorb products faster, so to maintain consistency throughout, I'll leave them for last. When it comes to my face, instead of opting to use the same body lotion mix I've concocted, I'll swap in an oil-free moisturizer to prevent any breakouts and avoid clogging pores. If I'm going for a deep glow, I'll sometimes go over everything a second time. But, if not, I immediately wash my hands to avoid any staining or streaking.
I haven't gotten much sun in the past seven or eight months, so my normally olive skin was extremely pale in the picture above. But after applying the self-tanner, I look much more like my usual self. I love how the medium shade is dark enough to enhance my olive complexion but light enough to add a gradual glow. It provides just the right amount of tan without going overboard or looking streaky, blotchy, or worse: orange.
Most importantly, in my opinion, is how versatile the lotion is, particularly because it can be blended with any other lotion or moisturizer for a faint glow year-round. It is ideal for building a base tan in the winter or enhancing my gently sun-kissed skin in the summer. It can blend harsh bikini lines, and when I want to add some definition to my legs, I can easily pair it under Sally Hansen's Airbrush Leg Spray to take things up a notch. This lotion is the instant compliment-magnet that shows dramatic results in as little as one use.
It looked as if I spent hours obtaining it, but it truly only took me a few minutes of time in my bathroom. It's buildable, easy to use, and never makes me look orange. What's more, self-tanners are a positive result of the increased education around harmful UV exposure. We are able to achieve a natural look from [tanners more] than ever before. Instead of trying to reverse the hands of time 20 years in the future, many of us are learning to take preventative measures early on and utilize products like self-tanners instead of exposing ourselves to harmful UV rays.

I think you will have better luck with these if you use them to prolong an existing tan, rather then to give you a new tan.

These towelettes are bigger than most, they are almost as big as a sheet of paper, which I liked. Loreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Towelettes are bigger than most towelettes, but I still required two to cover my entire body.
The smell faded a little bit, but the next day I could still smell the gross DHA smell on my skin. The directions say to apply daily until you reach your desired color, and then use them times a week. Category : Self Tanning Reviews. Is Self Tanning Safe? Reviewed by: Emily Andrews.
