Title says it all really. How can I apply fake tan w/o it going all streaky?

I found the fake tan wipes good. Make sure you exfoliate well, especially dry areas and elbows/knees. Also moisturise first. I use salt or a bath scrunchie to exfoliate. I had a spray tan recently and that was good.

I've bought two types - one especially for faces, nd one for rest of me. So basically I need to exfoliate the hell outta my skin, moisturise THEN apply fake tan?

I am pale but brought the darker one as had just been on holiday and it worked great when my skin was tanned. It does turn very dark though, so am going to buy the light one now that I am back to my usualy peelly wally skin.

I use teh Dove one and it's fab, put it on every other day, exfoliate twice a week. Everyone comments on how good it looks.

Re Hands - put cream on back of hands and sweep along fingers and inside fingers. Either run a little water in the sink and place palms in then rub palms on a towel to dry or rub palms together with a damp flannel in between.
