Any tips for St Tropez??

Mixedup

I'm about to try and fake tan myself with the st tropez set for the first time. i normally get spray tans and i've never done it before, is there any helpful tips anyone can let me in on so i dont make a huge mess of myself?!

Much appreciated..

E.T.

Hope this isn't too late! I usually put the (non-tanning) body lotion on my face, neck, elbows, knees and heels (anywhere with dry patches or where you don't want it too dark) then mix a tiny bit of the tanning lotion with the body lotion for my face. If you've just exfoliated your face don't use too much tanning lotion in the mix or you can look tangoed!

For the rest of my body I just slap it on - don't rub too much, it doesn't streak like normal fake tan does, unless you actually rub too much! V weird.

You can buy boxes of gloves in any supermarket, can't remember what the name of the brand is but they come in a yellow card box.

After I've put on the tan I take a damp facecloth (not wet) and rub my eyebrows, knuckles, nails, elbows and very lightly on the back of my ankles and knees. I find I'm usually safe to put on pyjamas after ten mins, if it's a really cold night and I know I won't be wearing a dress at the weekend I'll put them on as soon as it feels any bit dry!
