1. Properly prep your skin (we have an entire blog entry on what to do and how to do it properly)
2. Shake the product well before applying
3. Get someone to help you for those "hard to reach places".
4. Start with the areas that you can easily see and reach... legs would be a good start!
5. Spray between 4-6 inches away from your skin and apply in circular movement.
6. Do not start and stop once you have started... keep a momentum going and be consistent with your circular strokes.
7. Go lighter on these areas: hands, feet, ankles, neck, elbows, and knees. They tend to develop darker as the skin can be different in these areas.
8. Once you have completed one healthy, even coat - let dry. Allow your skin to develop for 8-12 hours before showering, sweating or getting wet.
9. Wait until after you have developed and showered before making a decision on color depth. Do not keep applying spray until you reach your desired color depth (chances are.. you will turn out too dark or even orange!!) You can always re-apply a light coat the next day to darken your skin. Trying to go too dark - too fast can turn you orange (esp will lower quality tan in a can products). Take it slow and spray in coats until you can get the hang of the indv product and how your skin is absorbing it.
10. Start building your spray tan 48 hrs out from an event - so you have time to make adjustments to your color or uneven areas if necessary~
If the tan comes out un-even and you are unhappy, soak your skin in a warm bath for 10-15 min. Using a mixture of peroxide and baking soda in a paste consistency, scrub your warm skin with a washcloth. This should help decrease the uneven areas. You could even try toothpaste too! Good luck!!
