Start off with moisturized, exfoliated, and shaved skin

Use moisturizing formulas, such as fresh out of the shower formulas

Massaging: to avoid streaks, rub your limbs in circles

Less is always more! If you want it darker, just apply twice a day!

Use very very sparingly on your face, feet, neck, and anywhere you might not be able to easily reach like the middle of your back
-
