*Self-tanners have come a long way!  To get a natural-lookin' glow, look 
 for a tanner that matches your skin tone (they come in light, medium, 
 and dark shades).  And stick with creams and lotions when bronzing your
 face-sprays are way too tricky!

*Wash your face and apply a toner with a cotton ball to prep your skin.
 If you have dry skin, use a gentle facial scrub to remove any flakes.

*Apply tiny drops of tanner with your fingers all over your face and neck 
 (avoid your eyebrows, hairline, and blemishes-these areas will soak up
 lots of color and look funny).  Blend the tanner in really well, then 
 wash your hands to avoid "tan" palms and fingers.

*It should take about three hours for your tan to appear.  If you end up
 with any streaky or really dark areas, massage a facial scrub into the
 spot to help soften the color.
