One of the trickiest parts of you body to “self tan”, besides your face, is your hands. And why is that? Well, because you wash your hands a few times a day, after you go to the bathroom, and it’s hard to wash your hands without washing off the self tanner before it has dried, isn’t it? I can’t tell you how many times I end up with a half-tanned hand that looks ridiculous!
Well, what you can do instead of washing your hands if your self tanner on your hands has not completely dried, is use a wet nap and clean off only the bottom palms of your hands, so you are not rubbing any self tanner off the tops of your hands.
When self tanning your hands, you want to start, with cleaned, then dried, then moisturized hands. Let the moisturizer completely dry before you apply the self tanner. Apply the self tanner to the tops of your hands with a makeup sponge, taking care to get the tops of the fingers and in between the fingers, but only where a natural tan would occur.
Allow the self tanner to completely dry on your hands before you go about any activities that will require a lot of “hands on” work.
