Instructions To Follow When Spreading Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


People would do anything to glow their skin including basking under sun and using tan beds but these methods are not safe at all. Fortunately, many tanner products have been introduced in the market than can help tan your skin in a safe manner. A self tanning lotion, when applied correctly will give a tan like that you would get from tab beds or sun, but this time in a safe way.

It is possible to tan your skin using do-it-yourself procedures but you need to follow every little detail in applying a tanner. Tan lotions are products used to help an individual achieve a golden brown skin tone. During the earlier days people used to bask under the sun so as to achieve this tan.

Tanner lotions come in different shades. The levels determine what color the skin tone will change to. You should be able to make the right decision so as to avoid getting a too much yellow tint. You can seek advice from cosmetic experts and even research on the internet on which product to obtain.

The tanner lotions usually function by changing the body skin tone but do not interfere with its structure. The tanning effect is usually not permanent and lasts for about a couple of days or weeks before it fades out. The main advantage of opting for this method of tanning is that you are able to do a tan at the comfort of your own home.

You can be able to do this on your own or have a friend assist you in the process. The only thing you need to do in order to achieve a perfect tan is to follow correctly the application procedure. There are various techniques and tools you can use, but all procedures revolve around one basic factor, which is, cleansing the skin before applying a tanner.

The skin needs to be clean and free of obstacles that may hinder the proper penetration and spreading of tanner lotions. This aspect involves several processes that include shaving, waxing, showering, and moisturizing. It is advisable that you make your skin free of body hair before application of a self tan lotion.

Body hair tends to trap the tan thus causing the appearance of black spots on body. You should make sure that you shave at least 2 days before the actual tan application date. The reason as to this is that, the skin tends to be sensitive immediately after shaving. If the tan product is applied immediately after shaving, it might lead to skin irritation. Shaving a few days earlier gives the skin enough time to adapt.

On the issue of taking a shower and exfoliating skin, it is essential that you use a non-oil based scrub to remove dead skin and debris. The oils and dead skin cells tend to block the pores thus barring the penetration of tanner substance on skin. Oil based scrubs also tend to leave oil residues on the body that also block the pores. With these few tips and others, you can be able to get a perfect tint on skin that is free from streaks or spots.
