Self-Tan Without the Streaks

Step 3: Buff the Tricky Spots

To avoid streaking around the feet and ankles, elbows, and knees, gently rub a damp washcloth over them as soon as you've finished applying the tanner. The minute you're done, wash your hands thoroughly (a little more sugar will help); you don't want orange palms to mar an otherwise perfect self-tanner application.
