Urgent Self Tan Question!! Responses needed as soon as poss PLEASE :-)

[TheRealMrsJohnSimm]

I have bought some St Tropez every day stuff to make bare legs a more acceptable option.

I want to apply it before going out this eve but also need to shave my legs.

If I apply after shaving, will I end up with some weird "pore-related" pattern on my legs?? Or will it be okay?

Am also armed with exfoliator to prep skin pre-tan so do I exfoliate before shaving legs or after?

I've got the same stuff, and I exfoliate, then shave, moisturise and then put on the fake stuff. I've never had a problem other than the odd streak but then I am no good at this fake tanning stuff!! Good luck

Thank you

One last question:

Do I need to moisturise before applying the every day stuff? I thought it was moisturising? Or do you need extra as shaving cream so drying to skin??

the every day stuff 'is' a moisturiser, so just shave and then use it. It would be different if you were applying actual fake tan

Is it really - I didn't realise. Ah that'll be why it took forever to 'dry'.

Be careful when shaving, not to press too hard. Otherwise (and I speak from personal experience) it may sting when applying the St Trop Everyday, and the result is you will not be able to apply the stuff, because of the stinging. Just be gentle and all will be fine.
