Self-Tanner Mistakes You Didn't Know You Were Making

Just because you're wearing self-tanner does not mean you have a base bronze! "You can still burn and tan through a self-tan," says Evans. "It offers no protection whatsoever! You still need to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun!" Worried about mixing your lotions? Apply self-tanner before bed, let it sink in overnight, and shower it off in the morning. Then, apply SPF from head to toe before leaving the house. Easy.
