How to Fix Orange, Streaky, Patchy Self-Tans — and Actually Love Your Glow Again

You know that moment when you're hyped to look bronzed and beautiful… but the second you finish applying, you realize something went wrong?

Orange tint. Streaks. Patchy ankles.

We’ve all been there. But here’s the good news: it’s not you. It’s your formula (and maybe your tools). The right prep, products, and routine can completely transform your tan—giving you that flawless, sun-kissed glow you actually feel confident in.

At Best Bronze, we’ve helped thousands of women get their groove back using self-tanners that actually work with your skin. No filters. No fakes. Just glowy, even color that looks like you woke up like this.

Self-Tanning Problems? Here's How to Fix Them (Fast)

❌ PROBLEM #1: The Orange Glow

THE WHY: Low-quality DHA and bad undertones are the usual suspects.

THE FIX: Our Clear Vegan Self-Tanning Mousse is your glow-to girl. No dyes, no bronzers—just a clear, buildable tan that develops over time and never turns orange.

→ Want a visible guide while you apply? Go for the Tinted Vegan Mousse instead. Same long-lasting formula, just with a bronze tint so you can see exactly where it goes.

❌ PROBLEM #2: Streaks & Missed Spots

THE WHY: Uneven application and rushing the process.

THE FIX: Don’t apply with your hands. Ever. Instead, use our Applicator Mitt paired with the Tall Vegan Brush for precision application. The brush is a game-changer for tricky areas like hands, feet, knees, and elbows. You’ll never go back.

❌ PROBLEM #3: Patchy Fading & Uneven Wear

THE WHY: Dry skin + poor prep = splotchy mess by Day 3.

THE FIX: It all starts before you tan. Use our Exfoliating Gloves 24 hours beforehand to smooth your skin and remove dead cells. Then post-tan, keep your glow fresh with our Best Skin Body Firm + Lift Cream—it locks in hydration, helps tone, and extends your tan like magic.
