Need help with self tanner

need-help-with-self-tanner

I want to try self tanner, but I have no idea where to start. From what I gathered, I think a gradual type would work best for me so I don’t go too dark too quick- is that correct? I have olive undertones- is there a kind that would work best for me?

I’m also unsure how to prep, what to do after, and how to avoid patches? Do self tanners really only last a few days? I would love some color all winter long, but reapplying every other day seems like an awful lot- is that realistic?

I also use some acne products on my face- would that make the face tan blotchy? Do you use the same body tanner for your face? Wouldn’t that be too dark?
