should i use self tanning lotion before or after applying makeup?
hey guys!! so im really really white and my skin isnt the type that tans easily under the sun. and these days there are no sun. and so i watched this tutorial on youtube of how to make your own tanning lotion since most of them are very expensive and i cant really afford it, so basically its bronzer and body lotion mixed together. and i was just wondering if i would break out if i used it on my face? i used to break out a lot but over the years my face cleared out a lot. so im kind of nervous that my face might break out again. and also do i apply this before or after makeup? because i still need to conceal some areas on my face and apply foundation but i dont want to go out and like buy makeup fit for the color of the tanning lotion . so should i just apply my concealer and foundation and then put on tanning lotion ? sorry this is long. thank you so much!

always apply sunless after showering/shaving/exfoliating .. then make-up. you probably will have to test this on areas that are not seen by others because you never know with bronzers mixed with lotion because of the oils mixed together you could streak bad, and you can turn orange. so better to do test spots!
you're going to have to get make-up to fit your body or it will look awkward .. like really awkward. LOL have a really white complection with a tan body would be .. ew .. but always tan solution first then make-up.
but really test spots .. there's a reason there is a price on these products is because of the quality of not being orange and no streaking. there's a product $32 that's all (: it lasts a good while or get it on Amazon for even cheaper than that .. click in California Tan Instant Sunless Spray. it's an amazing product .. super easy, super effective. i LOVE the product. i tan regularly and versa. but i have blotches or mistakes sometimes and i have that can for that.
btw; for being extremely white and using a home remedy tanning lotion you could blotch so bad. so you will constantly need to keep up with showering exfoliating and shaving to make sure it stays on really good. ((:
test out your lotion on areas no one can see and then see if you would rather pay the $15-30 for a can that lasts so long for a good solution. good luck &hope this helps!!
