1
Shave the area to be tanned at least eight hours prior to applying it. If you prefer to wax off the hair, do so 72 hours prior unless you are not accustomed to waxing, in which case you need to do so seven to 10 days in advance. Exfoliate, before applying sunless tanner, to make the skin smooth. Rough skin and hair can cling to your shirt and stain it.

Pull your hair up before applying the tanner and keep it up while the tanner is being applied. This keeps the tanner out of your hair and prevents its transfer from your hair onto the shirt once you let your hair down.

Use latex gloves if you are applying the product yourself to keep the tanner off your hands, thereby making it safe to button up your shirt.

Leave the tanner on your body for the recommended amount of time on the product's label before putting on your shirt. This ensures that the product has time to dry and is less likely to be transferred. If you need to put on clothing right away, wear loose clothing that you don't mind getting stained.

Keep your body cool. Don’t exercise or do anything strenuous that may cause you to perspire. Sweating will make the tanner run.
