Can you apply gradual tan over fake tan?

What is the difference between self tan and gradual tan?

Instant self-tanners are meant to give you some great color very quickly, sometimes in as few as a few hours. Gradual self-tanners develop color more slowly but are easier to maintain in the long run. Gradual self-tanners often come in the form of a daily moisturizer, making it extremely simple to maintain color.

Why it works: Mixing the self-tanner with moisturizer dilutes the formula a bit so the end results are much more subtle. Plus, thanks to the slippery texture of your lotion, you can smooth it onto your skin easily for an even application (meaning no chances of streaks) and a natural-looking glow.
