Lay on the luxe lotion

1. Take a shower or bath and exfoliate your skin for an even tan.

2. After taking the time to exfoliate, you must moisturize. This will prevent the tanning lotion from getting into creases of your bod and leaving dark, unwanted lines.

3. Make sure that your skin and the room that you are in are both dry. Do not attempt to put on tanning lotion if the bathroom is still steamy from the shower, or if you are sweating from the heat.

4. Use gloves and start applying! Run the tanning lotion in circular motions to ensure that there are no streaks and that you don’t miss a spot.

5. After at least 30 minutes of air-drying, put on dark clothing and you’re ready to show off your new spring glow.

GL tip: Pay extra attention to exfoliating rough skin spots like elbows, knees, wrists and the ankle area where skin folds exist.

Putting on the spritz

1. Shave and properly exfoliate your skin using a moisturizing shower gel before you begin, and towel dry.

2. Place a cap over your hair, leaving your face and ears exposed.

3. Hold the spray about 8” away from your body and begin spraying back and forth. Keep the can moving wherever you choose to spray.

4. Finish and dry completely. If necessary, use a hair dryer to speed up the process. If you see any spots you missed, wait until the next day and spray again.

Totes towelette

1. Make sure that your skin is clean and dry after you shower. If you apply the product on dirty skin, you will clog your pores.

2. Simply wipe the tanning towelette in a circular, even motion all over your body. Don’t be afraid, you got this!

3. After applying, moisturize your body and get dressed. These wipes are great because the formula goes on clear, so you don’t have to worry about those pesky orange stains.
