Tip-If you don't get the color you want, then apply another application once dried

Faith Lawless

After allowing your tanner to dry and then allowing it to set, you will have a nice tan or sun kissed glow to your skin. If the tanner did not give you the amount of color you would like, simply apply another application and then purchase a darker shade (if available) the next time you shop. Since some lines don’t offer certain shades, you may want to choose a different brand.
