The most common mistake when applying self tanning products is in the application method itself. We generally recommend following the below steps for optimum results: I also posted a picture and this shows one leg after about 10 minutes of application and one leg with no application. You can see the leg I applied product to looks an olive tone. A deeper and richer complexion that rarely burns in the sun. Deep skin can have any undertone but is most commonly on the warmer spectrum. Ensure your fake tan looks its best by prepping your skin at least one day beforehand. Exfoliating, moisturising and hydrating your skin will allow for an even application that lasts as long as possible.

Here is where I messed up. I didn’t shower at the 6 hour mark which would have been at around 11 pm. I had a long day and when I went to put my daughter to bed I accidentally fell asleep with her. So I didn’t end up waking up until 9 am the next morning, meaning I had sat in this for about 17 hours. I think this is why I wasn’t satisfied with the end result, which was a very dark orange looking color. Now the positive is that the color did not look streaky at all! The mitt and the foam product worked really well together. The only other thing I would suggest for application is to maybe apply a regular lotion to knees, elbows, tops of feet, and hands before applying the foam as well as applying the foam VERY sparingly to these areas. I think that if I would have showered at the 6 hour mark I would be more satisfied with the final color. You can see the extreme color difference in my photo of my legs before and after the completed application. Skin tones can be classified into three categories: cool, warm, and neutral. Cool skin tones have pink or blue undertones, warm skin tones have yellow or gold undertones, and neutral skin tones have a mix of both. Cult Concierge expert Ryan is on hand with some top tips to help you achieve the perfect golden glow… PREP YOUR SKIN Easy to see if there were any streaks, while applying, so you can fix it right away. Don't have to wait hours to see if you look like a zebra.

Alright so after I completed the application which was around 5 pm I went on with my day and initially I was really pleased with the color I had.
