Create A Tinted Shade On Skin With A Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Many people are increasingly turning to use of self tanners because they have proved to be safer than burning the skin in sun. Previously, people who have basked on sun aiming to tan their body have experienced serious health complications. A sunless tanning lotion can offer the tint you want on skin without causing damages.

Because the products may be formulated using different ingredients, ensure the substances contained in them are gentle to skin and do not cause sensitivity. Get a product that will last for long before it fades. Some tanners will only remain on skin for a week before they fade out while others can stay there for almost a week or so.

Moreover, ensure you prep your skin so that it absorbs the ingredients evenly. Improper application procedures can create unimpressive results. You do not want to have those streaky marks and deep orangey tints. Cleaning and exfoliating your skin is very important. Besides, you also need to shave thick air on skin.

Some areas such as the chest may have thick hair, which makes the application of tan difficult. The hair could trap some of the tan making it cause streaks or orange appearance. You can shave and wax the arms and legs for a perfect tint. In cleaning the body, you will be able to open up the pores.

Some formulations may have harmful and damaging effects to skin. In addition, some of the formulations tint the skin immediately while others will build a tan slowly over several days or weeks. You may have some lotions what will offer a tint for a short time while other are long lasting and could take weeks before they fade away.

Regardless of the type of skin you have, it is best that you consider exfoliating it before applying a tan product. Sometimes, the skin may have dry and flaky patches which make it hard for the self tan lotion to penetrate the pores. For an even distribution of tanner, ensure you scrub your skin using exfoliators.

If you fail to do so, you may end up with unimpressive results such as a patchy look rather than a pretty tan finish. Although the uppermost layer of your skin will eventually slough off within some days, when you scrub and exfoliate it, you expose a fresh layer of skin which will remain around for longer. Some areas of your skin may be too dry to absorb the lotions. Parts of skin like the hands may need to be moisturized using a moisturizer.

Spot testing will help in choosing a product that will not harm the skin. Some people have hypersensitive skin which could react to some of ingredients used in making the lotions. The product you choose should be able to offer a tinted skin for an extended period. While some tan will wash away in a day or two, others can stay on your skin for almost a week or so.
