Advice For Achieving That Ideal Sunless Tan

By Haywood Hunter


A natural sun-kissed glow is highly desirable today. One reason is because it is associated with good health. This can be easily achieved with the right sunless tanning products. However, to get a sunless look that appears real it also requires skillful application. Here are some tips for getting the tan you want throughout the year.

Selection of the right products is the key to achieving the perfect color. There are many on the market today, but the best ones interact with skin cells working only on the outer layer of the epidermis. Sunless tanners that claim they penetrate the under layer should be.

Another key is to ensure that the correct amount is used. Using more sunless tanner than is recommended will not be beneficial. This requires selecting the shade desired that works best with one's skin tone. For those with fair skin, sunless tanners that are extremely dark should be avoided as they make the skin appear mask-like.

Lotions, creams, powders, and sprays are common forms of sunless tanners. Research has shown that lotions last longer, but sprays achieve better results. This is because those applying them can reach areas that are difficult for an individual. Sunless sprays also go on more evenly than those in other forms.

Exfoliating the skin prior to applying a sunless product is also important. This will eliminate a splotchy appearance. Skin needs to be limited to length of contact. This is especially important with hands that are known to become darker with exposure to sunless products.

Working with sunless tanners takes some time so individuals need to be prepared to spend 45 minutes to 1 hour applying products and another 3 hours drying. Despite this fact, changes in the industry have made application and results of sunless products easier, faster, and more convenient than ever. There is no reason today that an individual cannot achieve that sun-kissed look that is so popular.
