some fake tan tips to help avoid such disaters (via Marie Claire)
1. Always make sure your skin is well moisturized and in good condition. Patchy, dry skin just won’t respond well to a faux glow.
2. Gently scrub skin before you tan, to lift dead skin cells and reveal ready-to-tan skin beneath.
3. Apply moisturizer all over your body before you tan, but do remember to let it fully sink in before you begin applying your tan enhancer. Pay particular attention to wrists, elbows, ankles, knees and feet – any areas that can get dry and need extra moisture (must read for Paris)
4. If you aplly tan yourself make sure to always wear latex gloves to avoid range-tinted palms.
5. A great tan tip, but one to work behind closed doors, is dotting a small amount of Vaseline along your brows and next to your hair line. Tanning the face should be treated with caution and dabbing the jelly means that any slip of the hand when applying will prevent dodgy tide marks appearing in these areas.
6. To ensure a tan is perfectly applied and avoid any sign of patchiness, don a buffing mitt and gently dab away at any build up of tan, to spread it evenly and avoid varying shades.
