* It is important to exfoliate the skin before you apply your tan. With the change of season there may be a build up of dry/worn out skin left sitting on the outer skin. This can be caused by artificial heat and the change of weather conditions. If the skin is not exfoliated the tan can look clumpy and will not sit smoothly. For those who find exfoliators a little rough add a little moisturiser to it and work a smooth lather into the skin.
* The summer/autumn months allow for a deeper tan so it is important to re assess your colour for the cooler months ahead. If you applied two layers of fake tan during the sunny season perhaps apply one layer for winter. The look of the season is quite natural so less is more when it comes to tan application.
