Wash Hands Thoroughly

Tip-Wash hands and nails thoroughly when you are finished

Faith Lawless

One of the most important steps to remember is washing your hands very well. You will need to use plenty of soap and warm water, and preferably a nail brush as well. If you have self tanned the backs of your hands, then be careful not to wash the tanner off of them. Concentrate on your fingers, palms, in between your fingers, and under and around your nails.
