Hints Of Achieving A Proper Fake Tan

By Haywood Hunter


A tanned skin always appears sexy and healthy. In the past, the trick to getting a good tan was to spend quality time outside under the sun. This is not the case anymore. Research now has it that the sun is a major cause of skin cancer. In addition, it dries the skin up, causing it to age faster. A good alternative is to get a fake tan.

There are professional salons that do tanning very well. Unfortunately, they are quite expensive. A good alternative would be to use self tanners. To tan the face, scrub and exfoliate it thoroughly. Mix moisturizer with the tanner in a fifty-fifty ratio. Apply evenly across the entire face and neck. Do not leave out any parts.

After that, you leave it do develop for up to three hours before applying the bronzer. This is applied on the nose, forehead and cheeks. This is to make the color tone even, just like the sun would make these parts slightly darker. Make sure you cover the earlobes and upper ears too, or else you might pull off a very unnatural look. Do not forget to wash your hands thoroughly after every step.

If you want to tan the whole body, then after doing the face you should proceed to exfoliate the rest of your skin. Pay particular attention to the knees and elbows. After you have done this and shaved as much as possible, apply the tanner on your hands and legs, ensuring they are all covered. You can then shift your attention to the hips and stomach.

Washing hands will likely get the tanner off the back of your hands. To clean up after applying, use a wet piece of cloth instead. Wipe your palms and the middle of your fingers very well. You can opt to use a body shimmer on the hands and legs for extra vibrancy.

Be sure to use the right tanner on your body. There are different types like face, airbrush, cream, bronzing gels and enhancers. You can use these to crossfade and develop natural effects on your skin. To do this, use lotion to assist you in the process.

If you make a mistake, do not panic. Just use a little bit of toothpaste or astringent toner to get it off. In the event that your fake tan is not dark enough, just redo the entire process.
