The key to the fake tan is to exfoliate before you use it. Go with one that has great reviews. You won't get the orange color-thats why you have to look at the reviews. The other thing that I do is the spray tan-it works and looks great. Very natural, and does not smell. The lady I go to puts oil on your toes and nails so they don't get color. But it truly does look natural. So you might want to look into that.
