I use a combo of natural sun, maybe 15 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a week (weather depending), and Neutragena medium tint self-tanning gel (in the tube). I do NOT moisturize first, as this will guarantee streaking (for me, anyway). I make sure my skin is completely dry, fresh from the shower, and I use plastic gloves to apply the gel. That stuff is very difficult to wash out from under your fingernails, so the gloves help prevent hand/nail staining. I also only work in one small area at a time, opposed to putting a lot of gel on the entire leg and trying to rub it all in. No one has ever suspected that any aspect of my summer tan is 'fake', so I must be doing something right!
