Practicalities of using self-tanning cream with a daily shower

I am thinking of buying something like the Dove self tanning cream, or similar, and was just wondering about the practicalities of using it - Can you still have your daily shower?

I use this and shower every morning, and have a bath (long and hot!) at least a couple of times a week too. I tend to use the tanner every two or three days, then on a Sunday do a big scrub with one of the Korean towel things and start afresh. It’s very subtle, not like banging on a load of St Tropez tan which gives you a really strong result the next day.

Thank you so much for your helpful reply, I really appreciate it.

You’re welcome! I’d go in easy with the Dove (I use the light/medium one and am quite dark skinned, brunette, tan naturally very quickly) until you get the hang of it. Make sure you give your hands a really good wash after, especially the webby bits between your fingers.
