Beauty School - How To ... Fake Tan

For blotch-free application, hair removal should be done at least 24 hours earlier, says Meagan Johnson, national sales manager of Faken It. "Waxing and shaving will leave the skin pores open and applying fake tan will cause a slightly speckled appearance," she says. "For best results, shower and exfoliate, paying special attention to elbows, knees and heels." Skin should be free of any moisturiser, deodorant, make-up or perfumes as these will change the pH balance of your skin and prevent even absorption.
