There's no point splashing out on a good self-tan if you don't put it on properly:
1 - Exfoliate everywhere you intend to put self-tan - the point of doing this is to get rid of a build-up of dead skin on your body which makes self-tan look uneven and come off more quickly (when you lose the dead skin)
2- Moisturise your hole body - self-tan clings to moisturised skin better than dry.
3 - Apply self-tan in long sweeping movements and swiftly without massaging it in too much.
4 - Wipe over heavily-lined areas like your knees, heels and elbows a flannel or damp cottonwool pad to stop self-tanning pigment from collecting in the lines.
5 - Allow self-tan at least an hour (no matter how quickly it claims to develop on a bottle) to absorb or develop before getting dressed or into bed.
6 - Reapply self-tan as you need to (usually every 3 to 4 days) after exfoliating and moisturising again.
