Self-tanning is a great way to fake a sun-kissed glow, especially if you’re planning to show a little skin this summer season.

Nadia Albano offers tips for applying sunless tanning at home.

Step 1: Exfoliate

Step 2: Moisturize

Note: avoid oil-based moisturizers as it can cause the tan to break down and look blotchy.

Step 3: Apply with a mitt

Using a mitt is a game changer as it achieves a more even-looking glow. Start with the legs and work your way upward. Pump or dispense the self tanner directly onto the mitt. Sweep it over the skin using circular motions for an even and streak-free result.

Note: if your using a tanning mist, spritz the it onto the body first, then blend with a tanning mitt
