A tanning expert says this is exactly when to shave your legs if you're applying fake tan

Woman shaving legs.

The difference between a streaky, patchy tan and seamless sunkissed skin comes down to proper planning, and that includes strategising your hair removal schedule.

If you prefer to go au natural, then don’t worry. Body hair won’t affect the outcome of your tan so long as you buff everything in thoroughly with a tanning mitt. If you’re a shaver, however, when you bust out your best razor really matters. You could have the best self tan, but if you’re shaving your legs at the wrong time, you could end up with brown pinpricks and an uneven finish.
