Discover Safe Self Tanning For A Brilliant Body

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a body that looks good then you can use a self tanning lotion. This avoids trying to get a tan by lying in the sun for a long time and being exposed to harmful rays. By using a fake product you can achieve a great color safely.

You will discover a number of different brands and types of products. So it is important that you choose one that will give you a natural look. All of them have a special ingredient. It is Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is this that causes the skin to become tanned.

Some tanning products have a rather unpleasant odor. Some make your skin look orange and not at all like the real tan. Others do no last as long so you have to re apply it more frequently. This is time consuming and costly. Be careful to avoid some products that streak or color your clothes.

In order to avoid a disaster, it is advisable to try out your product in a discrete area of your body. If you do make a mistake only you will see it! There are special tanning products available just for the face. Cleanse the area before you exfoliate. This will remove flaky and dead skin and help the final effect to be a good one. Delay using a moisturizer at this stage.

You may find that some parts of you body will be tanned to a darker shade even though you have been careful. In order to avoid this effect on your face, first apply an eye cream under your eyes. You are aiming for one shade darker on your face to ensure a natural finish.

Now you can try mixing a small amount of moisturizer with your tanning lotion. This will enable a smoother application. As well as the face, cover the ears, too. Remove all traces of the fake tan from your hands by washing thoroughly.

Before repeating the process on the rest of your body you will need to exfoliate just as you did previously. Apply the product systematically, moving up through your body, one limb at a time. Again, you will allow several minutes for the tan to dry. Avoid any exercise for several hours as sweat may cause the application to streak.

The range of self tanning products on sale is vast. Types include gels, sprays mousses, milks and the ever popular lotion. There is one that will be suitable for your skin, that is lightweight and easily absorbed. Take the plunge and enjoy a new look!
