This year I’m all about saving myself the sun damage and better self-tanning. Here are the best tips we’ve found:

Exfoliate – hands down tip #1: This smooths your skin and makes your tan last longer. But keep in mind salt scrubs can dehydrate and cause tanner to absorb unevenly.

How To Apply: Apply to clean dry skin and always work from the bottom up, remembering to wash hands with soap and water in between applications. Use a circular motion to blend lotions.

Don’t Forget Your Back: Dot some self tan lotion in the middle of a long strip of saran wrap. While holding both ends, smooth over out of reach areas on your back.

For the Feet: With a small amount of self tanner, blend carefully. Then blend some of your regular body moisturizer around the edges of toes and ankles to prevent dark spots.

Start Off Easy – then Depth: Get a believable base with a gradual tanner like Jergens or Aveda cream. And then build a caramel hue with an aerosol. Our pick is Lindsay Lohan’s Sevin Nyne. I told you about this spray tan before – loving it – and give it total props!

P.S. Don’t forget – you still need to always remember to apply SPF – self tanners don’t take replace sun protection
