TikTok user reveals patch-free fake tan technique

A beauty enthusiast on TikTok has shared tips for achieving a perfect fake tan on hands without looking patchy. Kyndall Ames, based in Los Angeles, advises against using a tanning mitt for applying self-tanner on fingers. In her video, Ames shows her followers the steps she takes after applying self-tanner to her body. First, she rinses her hands under water to remove any excess product. She uses soap to wash away any residue that may have gotten on her palms or fingers. Next, Ames recommends applying a rich moisturizer to prepare the skin. For applying the fake tan, she suggests using an old makeup brush instead of a mitt. She applies a pump of tanner to her wrist, blends it up her arm, and then uses a bit more for her fingers. Ames emphasizes that it's important not to overload the fingers with color. To finish, she takes a damp washcloth and gently rubs it over the area where the wrist meets the palm, including each finger's palm side. Although the process may seem lengthy, Ames insists it’s straightforward and leads to a seamless tan. Her tips have gained significant attention on TikTok, drawing in almost 820,000 views and many positive comments from viewers who tried her method.
