"Hands tend to be a bit tricky as they can really absorb excess product, which makes them develop darker than the rest of your skin," he says. The solution: Buff the palms of your hands, between your fingers, and around the fingernails before and after putting on your self-tanner. Immediately after you smooth on the tanner, add a quarter-sized amount of moisturizer to the bottoms of your palms and inner wrist, and blend out for a flawless glow. If your wrists begin to develop with a muddy color, Von Hep suggests rubbing a towel in between your wrists to remove excess tanner.
