Hair removal should always been the first step in your routine.

As this process can aggravate your skin, we recommend doing it at least 12 hours before tanning and running cold water over the area to ensure your pores are completely closed. This will help to avoid self tan sinking into your open pores and creating dark spots.

If you're a weekly tanner, old product can build up on your wrists, elbows or knees.

Be sure to use our Self Tan Remover as part of your pre-tan skin prep. Apply to dry skin using your hands, leave it for 5 minutes, then jump in the shower and use our Exfoliating Mitt to buff away old tan, dead skin and dry patches.

Before application, moisturise anywhere that fake tan has a habit of catching (knees, wrists, elbows and fingers).

We recommend going over these areas lightly with a moisturiser, adding that extra barrier between your skin and your self tan will allow the product to sit lighter upon these areas.
