Applying FakeBake

Christina1982

Hi

I am very pale and for recent weddings I have had a fake bake tan/spray tan done and now I prefer myself with a bit of colour not looking as grey like!

I have purchased some Fake Bake lotion, what is the best way to apply? I am particualry worried about my face, neck and ears any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks

I am your typical blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin girl.. I have been using Fake bake for the last 3 yrs and love it!

I start by exfoliating in the shower, dry off then apply moisturiser to knees, elbows etc anything with harder skin. I start from my feet first then work my way up, as fake bake comes out dark you can see exactly where you have applied it and see any streaks which need rubbing in..
I leave my face and hands until last, put moisturiser on your face and fingers before applying fake tan. Always wear gloves until you get to your hands. Then I use makeup wipes to wipe off excess from palms of hands, Leave on overnight and shower in the morning..
Please don't rush as that's usually when I get orange hands lol.

Thanks I kinda know how to do it just sooo worried I end up like an ooompaloompa!!!
Do you do under your arms too?! its mainly my ears I'm worried about now grrr
What moisturiser do you use? Would E45 be ok as my skin is dry and sensitive so I usually use that
