Don't rush the process You want a natural looking tan, not a cheap paint job right? Just like getting a real sun tan, it takes a little time and patience but the outcome will be well worth it.
My Skin's Friend doesn't tan you, it causes your body to tan itself. In fact, when you spray it on, you won't see any color because there isn't any in it. That's why it doesn't look fake like a lot of others but there are "secrets" to getting the best, most natural looking tan with it.
Before you spray, make sure your skin is clean and exfoliated. Use a regular wash cloth, loofah or anything else you might already like to exfoliate with. I discovered this helps speed up the process because it starts with new, fresh skin cells, not the old dead ones. Don't scrub so hard that you cause an abrasion. Just a nice firm scrub  There are two reasons for this.
 When your done, dry off and go to the next step.
I put plastic grocery store bags on my feet from the ankle down to keep the tops of my feet from getting tan from the falling mist.
CAUTION: If you use a lotion with chemicals in it, you might experience that sunless tanner smell! That smell is caused by the DHA molecule in the tanner reacting to chemicals in the lotion. That's why we recommend using a chemical free lotion like those recommended above.  They also apply it to elbows and knees because those areas tend to get darker faster and the lotion helps insulate those areas from the tanning effect.
It is much easier if you have a friend who can spray you but almost all of our customers report they spray it on themselves with little problem. It might take a little practice to perfect it but it's done every day.
I apply it to myself most of the time but when I can get my husband to do it, it is easier to maintain a more even coverage. VERY IMPORTANT. The main cause of streaks or runs is OVER SPRAYING. Because My Skin's Friend sunless tanner is clear (no colorants or staining chemicals), it is hard to tell where you've sprayed. For this reason, it is important to plan to cover in a methodical way to make sure you don't over spray and get runs or streaks.
If you have someone applying the spray to you, have them hold the bottle about a foot from your body and spray evenly from side to side, making sure to get an even coat. Applying too much each time will cause runs and you don't want that or you'll have streaks. Just a very light coat works like magic. You'll get a great looking tan and you'll get more tans per bottle. RUN REPAIR TIP! If you see a run or large droplets during or after spraying, don't panic. It can be fixed before the streak shows up. Once you've finished your third and final application for that day, simply let the last coat dry a few minutes and then apply an organic lotion to the entire area to blend the over spray into the rest of the area. In almost all cases, this will completely eliminate any spots or streaks and you'll wake up with a very nice, even, natural looking tan. Over spray also happens because you will swear you're not getting enough on you but I assure you that you are. We chose the very fine mister pump to make sure you get a very light application each time to prevent runs or streaks. When one coat dries (which is very quick and can be accelerated with a blow dryer set to cool), apply the next one until you've sprayed three consecutive coats in one treatment. I know you won't feel like anything is happening but trust me, it is. Once the third coat is dry, you're ready to get dressed. My Skin's Friend tanner won't color hair or clothes so don't worry about having to cover your hair or having it rub off on your clothes or bed linens. 
Cover your whole body or the areas you want tan with that first coat and wait 3 minutes or so for it to dry. One of the things people love about it is that it dries very fast. Repeat this process no more than three days straight. Once you've done if for three days, STOP and wait for 48 hours for your tan to “mature” and show you the final shade. If you want to be darker, simply continue to apply it as above until you reach your ideal shade. Once that happens, you can usually maintain your tan with a once or twice a week application. Remember, you won't see the final results for 48 hours
