Fair complexions are difficult to find a true match for, as the sunless tanning lotion can oxidize on fair skin creating an orange tint. In this case, choose the lightest shade and build it up for a darker finish. Always choose a sunless tanning lotion that is cruelty-free. Besides the obvious reasons, they work best because they are free of proteins that cause the oxidation and give the product a very unpleasant smell.

Shave or wax several hours before applying the sunless tanning lotion, and take a warm shower to exfoliate the skin on the areas where product will be applied using a soft loofah or washcloth. This process will create a smooth surface for the sunless tanning lotion to glide on, which will help decrease streak lines and make the color look truer. Make sure your skin is completely dry before you apply any product.

For a realistic finish, apply the sunless tanning lotion all over your body, but be sure to avoid applying it on and around your genitals. However, if you only want to add some color to your face, make sure you still apply some sunless tanning lotion on your neck and chest so they match. In order to prevent creasing, rub some colorless body lotion on areas with rough skin, such as your knees and elbows.

A sunless tanning lotion is very likely to stain your hands. To avoid that, invest in a box of latex gloves from the medical supply store and put them before using the fake tan. For added protection, wash your hands with soap every several minutes.

Apply no more than one thin coat of the sunless tanning lotion evenly all over your skin for the best results. You may not see the dark color right away, but it will start to appear over time. You do not need to have several layers of tan on your skin for it to be visible.

If you do not have a good amount of experience in applying fake tans, choose a lotion rather than a spray. Sunless tanning lotions are easier to spread evenly. In order to avoid missing some spots on your skin, choose a formula with some color so you can see where it has already been applied.

Many people say that a sunless tanning lotion has a tendency to ruin their clothes. It is true that the pigment can rub off onto tight clothing and stain it, but it is something you can easily avoid. Read the instructions on the packaging of the sunless tanning lotion. They should specify how much time it takes for it to become completely dry. It is recommended that you wait double that time before you put your clothes on.
