Just brought some St. Tropez everyday moisturising tanning stuff, how do I do it?

[NatalieJane]

How exactly do I do this? I have very pale skin, don't want to look like I've been tango'd, don't want stripes and orange patches, don't want orange heels, elbows, knees, hands, how do I get it looking lovely even in hard to reach places? Is there anywhere I don't put it?

Come on give me all of your self-tanning tricks of the trade please

Oh and what about my face? Can you use it on your face?

ok

you rub it in
then towel off your knees and ankles

and yes ot fce

Is that it? I will blame you solely if I end up looking like David Dickinson...

i am kind today
no one can be nasty to me

did you get the dark one?
it relaly barely shows

Exfoliate!

Then moisturise with lotion.

Then put the self-tan on top of that.

RUB IT IN - both layers of lotion.

not so vitla ont he everyday tbh

No, I am paler than pale, I got the fair to medium one.

I have put a little bit just on my belly, will see how it goes and if not too orange I will dive in the deep end.

Whiffs a bit

I have to exfoliate every day?

Use latex gloves, and don't overload - watch the drier parts of your body ie very little on elbows, knees and ankles.
I'm not sure about your face - it should say on the packet - if in doubt mix with some moisturiser. Good luck - it can be hit and miss the first few times.

no

There isn't anything about faces on the bottle/box/instruction sheet, I use a bronzing powder with my make up, so if this stuff isn't very dark would I get away with not putting it on my face?

I always prefer to have a bit of a glow - I too am fair skinned with red hair, so I'd put something on your face - it will look odd if your face is pale.

Oh bloody hell, I can just about handle having orange legs and bum but my face..... I am going to have to be brave aren't I?

yes
you dont need to exfoliate every time at all wiht htat stuf
f but do wipe knees

the face is the last place I would worry about..at least you can cover it with make up..!!!

I have used this today for the 1st time and the results are good. TBH though I would probably next time opt for the darker colour....its given me colour but not to much...Which imo is good, at least I can build on it..!!!

NJ, how did you get on.?

I use a body brush every other shower, interspersed with a shower scrub instead of gel on alternate days.

It is quite a result, I have no streaks, patches, orange bits, or white bits, it isn't the most intense colour but that is very much a positive for me, as Shhh said we can build on it. I give it 10 out of 10, infact 9 out of 10, it does smell a bit, though having said that it doesn't smell this morning only when I put it on, so not the end of the world.

I am a step closer to the glamour puss I fully intend to become....!

i am using it every day atm
you can wihtout going oompa loompa tell us hwo you applies or did oyu just slap it on

I'm using the Dove stuff everyday and so far, so good!

I just slapped it on, I used quite a bit everywhere and then towelled off knees, ankles and elbows, washed my hands and it seems OK, I will use gloves tonight when I put it on because although I don't have orange hands now I think they would be if I did it again.

Oh and I got DH to do my back.

Expat, I have used the Johnsons one before but it was too dark for me, luckily I had only put it on my belly to check the colour first!

The Johnson's one sux.

lol at d
i htink there s a thign youc n buy to diy..was it lakealnd?

Do you mean a thing you can buy to do your own back?
