Who Wants Orange Palms Like an Oompa-Loompa?

Dark hands are a telling sign that your tan came straight from a bottle. The reason for this problem is quite simple: Self-tanner will produce color anywhere that it is applied and left. An easy rule to remember. The trick is applying without getting it all over your hands. Hmmm…tough one. AuerSaver Tanning & Fitness has some helpful hints:

Wash your hands several times while applying tanner (don’t forget to soap between your fingers and around your nails), Tsao says. Or try an easy-to-use spray-on product, such as Clarins Self Tanning Instant Spray or One Touch Instant Self Tanning Spray, which requires only minimal handling.

Also, you can disposable latex gloves can protect your hands. Or you can use a foam applicator, such as the Au Courant Sponge On a Stick Body Applicators. Either way, after applying the self-tanner to your whole body, remove the gloves and put a tiny spot of self-tanner on the backs of your hands and rub them together to blend it in. It’s important that the shade on your hands matches the rest of your body.
