Transcript:How to Apply Self Tanner
Hi. My name is Rebecca Garcia. I’m a New York City based makeup artist here for About.com, and today I’m going to show you how to apply a self tanner.Exfoliating Body Wash
So start with an exfoliating body wash. I like to use natural brown sugar and mix it with my favorite body wash. You’ll also need your daily moisturizer. And your self tanner.Apply Moisturizer
After you’ve had your exfoliating body wash you’re going to start with your daily moisturizer while your skin’s still damp you can do all this by the steam of your shower. You want to apply the daily moisturizer, evenly, all over. Everywhere that you’re going to apply your self tanner. Make sure to get in between the fingers and the toes.Apply Self Tanner
Now, we’re going to take our self tanner, and while the skin’s still soft and moist we’re going to go over everywhere we went with the daily moisturizer. Adding the daily moisturizer dilutes the strength of the self-tanner, so you’re less likely to turn orange. Make sure to get right in between the fingers here and the toes, so you don’t have orange streaks.And there you go. In about two hours you’ll have gorgeous beautifully bronzed skin.
