Facts About Choosing Homemade Or Manufactured Self Tanning Lotions

By Veronica Cappelletti


Sunbathing to get a suntan is now known to be risky. Many more people are turning to the use of self tanning lotions to produce that healthy bronzed glow. Not all the commercial products are effective or produce a good result so be prepared to try a few before you get the results you want.

Your friends may look great, but you may not get the same look when you try the same product. Carrying out a patch test is the best way to find out if a product is right for you. Rather than go out and buy the lotion, ask you friend for a little to test it first. A patch test should let you know if you will have an allergic reaction to the product.

Its best practice to test the product and wait 24 hours to see if you have a reaction. If the test spot resembles the color of an orange, remember it will look a lot brighter over a larger area of your body. You may want to think again before you go out and buy.

Alternatively, you can try making your own homemade lotion. You will find a number of easy to make recipes on the internet that use everyday household ingredients. You will find step by step instructions on how to mix, use and store your home-made lotion.

You will find important skin preparation advice which is important when you want to use a self tanning product. You have peace of mind because you know exactly what is going into the lotion. Unlike with products you can purchase, they may give you a list of ingredients, but you have not a clue what they are.

Health stores sell a range of natural and herbal products for self tanning. These natural products are beneficial if your skin is sensitive because they do not contain chemicals. They are made from herbs and plants and should not cause any adverse skin reactions.
