Follow these tips: Wax or shave at least 24-48 hours before applying your self-tan to prevent dotting in open pores. Exfoliate and moisturise the night before, paying extra attention to dry areas like your elbows, hands, knees, and ankles. Avoid using deodorant, perfume, or makeup before applying your fake tan. Tie up your hair up off your face and neck.

7 Alternatively, use the Gradual Rose Mist or Q10 mist and spray lightly over your face, hands and feet for a natural tan look.
