4. Rub your self tanner over your thighs, body and arms. Use circular and long sweeping motions to get a streak-free finish.

5. Once most of your body is covered, you can spend a little more time blending small amounts of self tanner into the easily forgotten places - behind your knees, feet, backs of your arms, around your armpits, neck and décolleté .

6. Wash your hands and nails with a brush or face flannel. Pay particular attention to between your fingers, cuticles and the sides of your hands.
