It’s all about the preparation
A flawless tan begins with well-prepped skin. Exfoliate 24 hours before you tan, to remove any dead skin cells and smooth rough patches. If you need to shave, do this the day before as well, to avoid the tan settling in pores and peppering legs with brown pinprick marks. Self-tan clings to dry skin,, to apply. It helps to blend out any stripes and prevents orange palms.
