Hi if i am applying fake tan i normally put it on my face with a cotton wool pad, as then it wont be so deep a colour, and i also wear gloves when applying the lotion then just rub a cotton wool pad with a little tan on over my hands. You can buy throw away gloves for this, i use Fake Bake which provide you with gloves.

I do the same thing. Make sure you get a self tanner that is tinted so that you can see where you have been. It makes for a more even application. Even using gloves always wash your hands after applying self tanner--the color does seem to cling in all the wrong places. Do a seaarch on Self-tanners on this site--you will find out everything you need to know. Happy Tanning!!!

i have tried alot of tanners. i am pale, & have very sensitive skin. i like fake bake-airbrush tan. you do not need gloves, cause you spray it on. not a gross feeling after applied. you just have to get good at being even, but it lasts longer than any rub on lotion. i rub body lotion on the back of my hands, elbows, & feet, to not get those areas too dark. if someone can do it for you that would be great. i spray it on in my shower, cause it goes everywhere(just like mystic tan). mystic was more orange on my skin. also i put balled up tissue in my nose, cause it will get in there, gross but you need to put it in. i use to use the rub on tanner, it is great as well. fake bake goes on brown so you can see application. i can last about a week with this product. hope this helps. $22.00-$30.00 a can, depends where you get it online.
