You’ll probably notice a few things: water running off with a weird orange tint, or your skin looking like a patchy, uneven map of disappointment. Worse, you might get that dreaded “orange palm” effect if you didn’t wash your hands after applying. It’s not the end of the world, but it can make you look like you just solved a crime with orange fingerprints.
The good news? Most mistakes are fixable with a little moisturizer and time. But honestly, a little patience upfront saves you from having to explain to your coworkers why your elbows are a different color than your forearms.
