Finally found a SELF-TANNER APPLICATION method that works for me!

I have a huge pump bottle of Isomers Tan Trick lotion but wasn't using it very often b/c I really hate bothering with gloves to apply it. Now I found a way to apply it daily (or most days per week) without using any gloves.

First I apply regular lotion liberally to my elbows, feet, ankle bones, knees and hands. Then in my palm I mix equal portions of regular lotion with Tan Trick (and sometimes a little more TT). I mix it together in my palm, distribute between both palms, then apply it quickly and liberally all over my body as far as it spreads, including feet and hands. I don't do my face. I can cover my entire body by mixing up just 2 batches in my palm. I have quite a bit of lotion for each mix (one does the whole bottom half of my body, the other the top half). When I'm done, I take a damp wash cloth between my palms and with my fingers I push the cloth between the fingers on the opposite hand, and also rub off my palms. This way I get any excess lotion off between my fingers and on my palms, without taking the lotion off the backs of my hands. Sometimes I also swipe the washcloth across my knees and elbows. This takes the same amount of time it took just to apply regular lotion after my shower. I'm getting subtle, building color with this quick, easy method and my self-tanning lotion is no longer going to waste.

I think someone on this forum may have suggested mixing self-tanning lotion with regular lotion in regard to applying it to the backs of the hands. I'm doing it on a larger scale for my whole body and it's working great.
