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 find many brands and types available so you need to find one that will give you a natural look. An ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone or DHA is used to darken the skin. This is present in all the fake tan products.

Avoid lotions that make your skin look orange. Do not use a self tanning product that has a distinctive odor. Some lotions need to be applied more regularly than others, which makes it a time consuming activity. Some products cause a streak whilst others stain clothing.

Try out your fake tan on a part of the body that is only visible to you. If you find the effect is not as you wished it to be, then only you will be able to see it. Make sure you cleanse your skin first before you exfoliate. Exfoliating removes flaky skin that would spoil the final effect if it is not removed first. A moisturizer can be used at a later 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 mix some moisturizer to your fake lotion. This will help you to apply more smoothly and will nourish the skin. Cover the ears, too. The tan will gradually darken over the next few hours. Remove all fake tan from your hands by washing very carefully.

Exfoliate the rest of your body and then repeat the process. Apply the product carefully, moving up the body and concentrating on one limb at a time. You will need several minutes for the tan to dry before you put on clothes. Do not exercise for a few hours. Otherwise the tan may 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!
