How can I avoid getting "orange marks" with self-tanners?

Our self-tanning products contain two active ingredients of natural origin, DHA and erythrulose, which act on the cells (keratinocytes) in the horny layer of the skin to give a luminous, natural-looking tan. 

To ensure an even, streak-free tan with a self-tanner, here's our advice: 

- Exfoliate 24 hours before applying self-tanner, as it reacts much more strongly to dead skin and calluses than to normal skin. To prevent the self-tanner localising on the knees, hands, feet and various folds of the skin, wash the skin thoroughly and exfoliate to remove all the dead cells, 

- To apply, start with the lower part of the body (or face) and work upwards, spreading the self-tanner evenly.

- After application, wash your hands and nails with soap to avoid staining; for the next 4 hours, do not put anything on your skin (no toiletries, creams or make-up).

It takes 24 hours to see the final colour.
