Starting Out Smooth

Do: Exfoliate.
If you want a smooth tan like Lauren, you gotta have smooth skin! The two go hand-in-hand so be sure to exfoliate a day before you apply self-tanner, using gentle yet effective scrubs like L'Oreal's Sublime Sunless Body Scrub and TESS Scrub-It-Off Strawberry-Jojoba Facial Cleanser.

Don't: Go totally dry.
Drier skin is more prone to streaking, so don't forget to moisturize after exfoliating! Apply lotion to your face and body a few hours before you plan on self-tanning. This way your skin will have ample time to absorb the moisturizer (clogged pores can minimize penetration of the tanning solution).
