When is the best time to apply self tanner?
It is best to apply a self tanner to skin that is free of dirt, oils, and moisturizers, and that is exfoliated and shaved. Therefore, an ideal time to apply a self tanner is after showering. It is important when using an exfoliating scrub that it is an oil-free product (like California Tan Sunless Exfoliator) as oils can create a barrier on the skin. Some self tanner users prefer to apply a self tanner before bed as they can wake up with a beautiful tan in the morning.
