Fake tan advice

Jiggy16 · 05/04/2021 21:45

So ill start by admitting I'm useless with anything style/beauty wise, so all basic advice welcome! I'm trying to get myself a bit more put together, and would like to try and have a bit of a 'glow', esp with the hope of warmer weather. I'm just wondering how people keep a bit of colour going both on their face and limbs. I'm using a tret prescription daily (skin+me subscription) so am unsure how to work facial tan in with this, esp if it encourages the skin to shed the top layer. Plus would fake tan react with the skincare? Would i put my skincare on then in an hour or so put fake tan over the top?
Also, tmi so apologies, my leg hair grows incredibly fast, if I shave my legs and put fake tan on at night, I could be needing to shave my legs the next night! So surely this will jut pull the tan off again anyway? How do other people keep a tan lasting? (I would love to get an ipl device for body hair but budget wise that is not an option any time soon)
I have the Isle of paradise tan drops and st tropez mousse if that makes any difference?
TIA

Caveat - I'm by means an expert on skincare stuff. However, I'm also using Tret (Dermatica 0.5%) every other day. I add a couple of drops of Isle of Paradise into my moisturiser on my Non Tret days for a bit of a glow.
Have been doing this for a few weeks, and so far have had no issues....

Use an epilator. I don't shave my legs at all - I don't need to (but I have short fair eyelashes).
Apply fake tan about half an hour after a shower.

I recommend the Isle of paradise drops mixed in with moisturiser also.
