Should you moisturize before self-tanning?
Yes—moisturize dry spots a few minutes before tanning, but avoid coating your whole body in heavy lotion right beforehand.
Hydrated skin grabs color more evenly, but too much moisture can block the tan. The sweet spot? Moisturize elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists a few hours ahead. These areas soak up more tanner and can turn darker if dry. Right before tanning, keep skin clean and dry. After your tan develops and you’ve rinsed, moisturize daily to help your glow fade evenly and last longer.
