I naturally tan very very easily and hardly ever burn but I rarely ever actually just lay out and sun bath but last year I was diagnosed with skin cancer... agian. I have had melanoma before the first time I was diagnosed with it was in 3rd grade. My dermatologist says absolutely no more tanning at all now and lots of sunscreen so I have to resort to self tanner. I have bought a great one that ever one recommended but I was wondering about application. I got it down for the legs. Exfoliate shave tan and lotion. But what do you do for your arms and stomach? I know you exfoliate still but is that good enough because I don't shave my arms (nor would I like to start to) like my legs so I was wondering if it would be patchy. Any tips would be greatful! Sorry it was so long! :)

Both by Neutrogena 1st is build a tan gradual sunless lotion abd the other is Neutrogena micro?mist airbrush sunless lotion. I was lucky enough to get one on sale (50%) because at my local grocery store because a foundation broke and exploded on it. I didn't really mind because I just cleaned it up. The other one was around $12.

I actually really love the micro mist tan but I've only used it when I already had a suntan lol. I have hairy arms too but it usually is not an issue

All I do is take a shower and exfoliate head to toes, then I moisturize after then wait until it's all absorbed. Then apply the tan lotion just like your legs. Viola :) I love the mist!

@Jacqlyn also check online at ulta in the sales portion because they have it sometimes were you buy one Neutrogena skin care product get one half off. Thank you girls for help. I always thought it would be patchy because of the hair but now I can become tan again!

Just exfoliate with a loofah or a scrub. I've never had an issue with it being patchy when I didn't this. I also sometimes use the Jergens Natural glow and I don't even need to exfoliate before using it as there is moisturizer in it.
