The best self tanner! Here's how I use it: I put lotion on first! I personally find it helps it not be streaky. Then put 1-2 pumps on the mitt, and apply to each section of your body until completely dry. You want to make sure you rub it onto every single spot until completely dry. That's also how you avoid streaks! Save your knees, ankles, feet, elbows, and hands until the mitt is basically completely dry and just do a once over each of those. It'll seem like you aren't doing anything but it's enough! Then let dry for about 10 minutes and get dressed. I let it develop overnight! When you do this, it might slightly stain your sheets but I wash my sheets once a week the day after I do self-tanner and it comes right out! Then rinse off in the shower with a very light soap in the morning
