This is the best product out there. Ive tried the mystic spray booths and countless tanning products yet Sun is my favorite. The only downside is that if the lotion is applied underneath the armpit it causes a nasty odor throughout the day. A trick is to apply deodorant before the lotion, then apply the lotion, and after use babypowder underneath the armpits. As gross as this sounds, it helps to soak up any moisture that causes the bad scent when mixes with the tanning lotion. Also, it leaves you feeling fresh.

I have been using this product for about 10 years and i have it down to a science. Make sure that you apply it right after bathing. When you are in the shower, make sure to use an exfoliating scrub and an exfoliating mitt. Concentrate especially on areas like your elbows, knees, and really go to town on your hands and feet. Around your ankles and toes seem to be the notorious sunless tanner nightmare areas. Make sure you shave, the less hair, the better. Do not use this stuff on your face if you have really oily skin. It will come off in blotches... rather, try to match your body using make up or powder with a bronzer in it. Get out of the shower and dry yourself off completely. Apply and thin but even coat of moisturizing lotion to the problem areas mentioned above. Put the sunless tanner in your hand and rub it so that both hands have the same amount on them and then do one arm at a time and one thy, calf, etc. This will keep you from having one darker arm or leg. I like to wash my palms about half-way through and it is a good idea to put regualr lotion on your palms to keep it from turning them super orange. After you are done, wash your palms thouroughly, but try not to wash off the sunless tanner on your wrists. You may need to scrub your palms a bit. To make your hands match, I like to mix a half and half solution of regualr lotion with the tanner and then use some by rubbing the back of my hands together. This way, you don't get it on your palms and your hands will match your body. Try and blend it near your wrist area and then you are done! Avoid your armpits... it tends to really make you stink!

Try mixing a tiny bit of moisturizer with tanning lotion... It just helps applying it more evenly.
