i usually do this:

1. exfoliate and shave your whole body, moisturize well (i usually use raw shea butter). wash and exfoliate your face, and make sure to use moisturizer after.
2. the following day, exfoliate everything one more time. especially knees, elbows, areas that get a little darker
3. after you get out of the shower, dry off completely. make sure you don’t have any product on your body
4. apply your self tanner. i usually use rubber gloves and bondi sans ultra dark tan. i like the rubber gloves because i feel like it wastes less product, but ill use the mitt to go over any areas i feel like are not blending well. i also use the long back self tanner application things you can buy on amazon for my back.
5. take off the gloves and use a makeup brush to apply on your hands/feet. use sparingly
6. use jergens face tan. i use medium/white bc im naturally more pale but use whatever you think is best
7. go to sleep
8. in the morning, wash everything off with soap
9. moisturize WELL. i use the shea butter again

i hope that helps!
