Last year I used ArtNaturals. I got it from Amazon. I honestly didn't do anything special besides exfoliating in the shower, using the mitt they included, and letting everything dry before I dressed. I really liked it.
I could never find one that I liked enough, and I tried them all. I ended up buying a spray tan system off of Amazon. It was a little over $100 and comes with a spray tent. My dh sprays me once a week and the tans lasts about 5-6 days without having to do anything else. I order SJolie rapid tan. It's about $50 a bottle and lasts forever.
I use a bath and body works lotion or Dr Gross Glow Pads from sephora. Exfoliate in the shower before, put normal lotion on your driest parts which are usually elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles then apply the tanning product. The streaking should be reduced with a high quality product. Also sometimes I follow up with a normal moisturizer.
I love Jergens daily gradual in Medium to Dark shade. I've never exfoliate but I shave my legs and shower first. I put regular lotion on first on my ankles and feet, knees, elbows, wrists and hands. These are the areas where you tend to get dry skin. If it's not moisturized it won't look right.
Then put on a good amount of the self tanner starting with legs, then arms so you don't mess up your arms. You can do your entire body but I usually just do arms and legs anymore. Make sure to rub it in REALLY GOOD.
When you have it all on, then wash hands real good, then put more regular lotion on the same spots you did before. Make sure to rub it into your wrists real well then wash hands again, make sure no self tanner is under your fingernails or anything. Then I wait 20 min or so to get dressed. Don't go do dishes or get wet or sweaty for a while til it dries good.
The only thing I hate about it is the self tanner stinks to high heaven. But it looks darn good if you actually put the extra work in to get it applied right.
I used to use HEMP gradual tanning lotion. I really liked it but if I didn't get it all off my hands I would notice thatin between my fingers would turn weirdly darker than everything else
I exfoliate shave then exfoliate again because I'm so extra. Then I rinse with cold water because apparently cold water closes your pores. Then I PAT myself dry with a towel because rubbing can cause dead skins cells that you missed to come up. After about 30 minutes of letting my skin stop being all pruney and gross looking I rub my tanning lotion on but use a makeup brush around sensitive areas like feet ankles wrists fingers toes just so It doesn't pick up more tan than the other parts.

St tropaz tanning oil or foam are the BEST even tanning without any orange. I actually get compliments from Florida natives ?

Jergens is good. It's for a gradual tan. There's also quick tan, which I use on my face. If I need a tan right away, fake bake does it.

I use tan wise
