op here, I'm seconding >>9546936 who said they use garnier summer body. I can get quite an intense tan with that, minus any actual sunbed tanning. I'd completely avoid any palmers gradual tanner, it has the most disgusting fake chocolate smell on earth that stinks for literally 48 hours on your skin and after an hour just smells like burned plastic.

As for showering, do it after showering and then go to bed. that way you're reducing time spent moving it around and stuff. After a bit of practice it was just a 10 minute routine before bed. It does continue to develop into the next day but if you dislike the smell or the fact it can be a bit sticky (like moisturizing your entire body) then shower it off in the morning. It doesn't need to be perfectly dry before you put some clothes on, but i'd put down an old sheet on top of your nice sheets because the tan can stain a white sheet sometimes, especially if you're doing it gyaru style.
