After Self-Tanner Application

Step #4: Remove Excess Product

After application, you're not done just yet. Both DiMarchi and Riddle recommended taking a makeup wipe to remove excess product from your hands. "I like to use a cleansing wipe to lightly wipe around my wrists, palms, and nails just to be sure that there isn't any extra product buildup," DiMarchi said. "Then, I use the buffing brush or mitt to blend any excess product on the skin."

Step #5: Apply Lotion

To really ensure your hands are well-blended from the self-tanning colour, Riddle likes to apply one last step of lotion. "Apply a moisturiser all over your hands so the self-tanner is less saturated and hands will appear slightly less colour, just as a natural tan would."
