How can I keep self tanning lotion from leaving little dots all over me??

I think it gets stuck in my pores or something because the "tan" looks good at a distance, but up close I have millions of little bitty brown dots, which looks AWFUL! How can I prevent the lotion from getting into my pores?

Exfoliate before applying -- that might help with application...
Reply:Before applying the self tanning lotion, exfoliate first and after that, make sure you're all dried up.
Reply:ok first exfoliate then take a cool shower but ues cool water the whole time that will snap ur pores shut. now take some moisturiser or lotion and put it in a seprate container. for that i would use some cheap tubberware. [like glad] then look @ thelotion and figure what half would b. now take the amount size that u have figured than put that amount of tanner in to the container. mix and apply as lotion
