When using this product is it best to apply with hand? And should I use it BEFORE or AFTER applying regular body wash?

I apply it with my hands. Less irritation. I would use it after your body wash as the regular body wash leaves a film on your skin, which can cause breakouts.

You can use your hands just wash your hands afterwards, that's after using any benzoyl peroxide product. And on my face, I used just this but on my back and chest I used it after soap and it still worked.

It's a body wash. You use it like you would regular body wash, with your hands.

This product is ment to be a wash that is rinse off after applying. Word of caution, it's very, very drying so I would not wash with anything else before hand. it has a lotion consistency so apply with hands.

I don't use an all over body lotion, but I would definitely apply this first. It must have some sort of moisture... it didn't dry the backs of my legs out!

I have been using this for years. Love it! I put a lot on its VERY VERY DARK. But it when you rinse the morning its perfect. Before I start i use regular lotion on hands, ankles, elbows, and kneecaps. I then apply this product with the gloves to my whole body and lightly on those areas that have lotion . VERY lightly or if you dont the tan will soak in and your hands will look crazy. So with my right hand i have a glove i take left glove off and put small layer, then ido the other side. its last days 5-7 or so. Sometimes i do face and arms only. there is no line of demarkation. When you rinse it looks like a tan and fades into the rest of your arms or neck area. I have been using this for years. Love it! I put a lot on its VERY VERY DARK.

No, it's supposed to stay on even after hand washing. I just apply it at night after using lotion and it keeps my hand irritation in check. I have terribly dry skin on hands/feet.

I have been using this product topically for several months, applying to tummy, thighs and arms and have never made it a practice to wash it off. There is no irritation to my skin and no damage to my clothing. I don't know why washing to off is recommended; washing it off just doesn't make sense to me. When applying right after a shower, it does feel slightly irritating but that soon fades; the benefit far outweighs to sight discomfort. -p porter

I apply it before moisturizing. I tried to use it as a moisturizer, and it made my skin dry.

I squirt a small amount in the palm of my hand to apply to my face and neck but you use so little there is always some left. The left over I do rub on the back of my hands and wrists. I bet you could use it on your arms but should wait until it soaks in before getting dressed. It's great stuff if you have dry skin.

Actually it makes a fairly thick coating and you don't have to wash it off if you want to do other things. I only use it for working with stuff I don't want to stick to my hands. So after done I wash it off. It is not a hand lotion for softer hands, although it will help to protect your hands from icky stuff. So while softer hands may be a side benefit it is not for hand care - but hand protection.

Hi! well basically what I do is i would roll the PFB Vanish to my legs after shower. I use it everyday twice, morning and evening before going to bed. but it would of course depends on the skin type. some people may only use this after shaving or waxing. Even if its a roll on, i would still rub it with my hands using surgical gloves on to prevent my hands from peeling (When you use PFB, there is a tendency for your skin to dry and peel) - i do this because it will evenly dry on your skin and would not leave you trail marks. After it dries, use a moisturizer/lotion to keep your skin from peeling. Should you have more query, I'd be glad to help. :)

They recommend reapplying after washing. My husband who uses it all the time feels that you can go a few washings before having to reapply.

I apply it all over. It depends on how dark your skin is naturally on whether or not it will be noticeable. It would be noticeable on me if I stopped and left my whole hand without any. I have found another product that I like even better, so I am just using this on my legs now.

Basically, instantly... apply a thin coat, spreading evenly and rubbing in good. Careful around joints, like knee's and ankles. Let dry while washing hands well with a pedi or facial scrub so hands don't stain, then repeat in 15 minutes. Great product, have been using it for years. Don't apply too much at once, to avoid an unaturual color. Apply another coat the next day or two for a good color. I basically only use this on my legs. Good Luck!

I use it in the morning before my shower. But you can use it at night if you want. You just apply it and wait 15 minutes before washing it off. I'm sure you will be pleased with the results.

Easy to use. Wet face and hands, put a small amount on hand, rub together, then wash face. This is great stuff for dry skin. Rinse . I wash my hands before I rinse, makes your hands look terrific..!! Be sure to moisturizer afterwards.

This is an exfoliator. No need to exfoliate any other way before you use it. I just wash myself with my favorite body wash and then use this. It's great.

Wash and dry the area thoroughly as anything on the skin will be absorbed with it. Only a few drops are generally needed apply directly to site or with clean dry finger tips and rub until absorbed. Then wash your hands.

I put it on after I shower. I squeeze about a quarter size into my palms, rub it together and apply like lotion.
