Planning to Self-Tan This Summer? Don’t Skip This One Crucial Step

STEP 3: Time to Tan!

Apply self-tanner from head to toe, using a dollop in the palm of your hands or on a mit, and work it into all areas of the body in light, short, circular motions. For this step, the L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse is a must-try for a natural, streak-free finish. If you prefer a mist, try the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water.

STEP 4: Clean Up

Remove excess if needed with a tissue, and wash hands thoroughly when finished. With most formulas, your self-tan will develop between four to six hours.
