Self tanner help!
 
So I just tried the spray stuff from L'oreal, LOVE IT, no streaks, doesn't smell too bad, it's great.

But my feet are a mess, lol. Anyone have tips for the feet? I put lotion on the dry spots first, and that helped, but they're still blotchy

rub a light coating of baby oil over them, then apply. It smoothes it out better!

Oh, I feel your pain!

I've blotched up my feet, hands, and forearms so many times that I've started using the facial self-tanner product for those areas. The it doesn't tan as dark, so looks more natural. My favorite is the True Blue line from Bath and Body Works.

Hawaiian Tropic has a new one that works a tiny bit at a time, so it goes on more even.

lancome has a great one that is tinted as it comes out, so you can see where you have put it.

I love the L'oreal stuff, too. It just takes practice. You'll get a smoother and more even application by mixing the self tanner with your regular body lotion-- the first couple tries I think everyone misses a spot on their feet-- just rub it in really well, and keep going over your feet! :)

You have to wash your hands immediately after applying it so the palms of your hands don't get unnaturally tan. The problem is that it washes the self-tanner off the backs of your hands. The solution is to apply it on your body, wash your hands, then squirt some self-tanner on a makeup sponge and use that to apply it to the backs of your hands.

And seriously exfoliate - use something with "beads" instead of salt or walnut shells so it's more even.

Ditto on the L'oreal.
