Tips On Getting The Best Fake Tan Using Sun Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


You don't really have to bake under the sun and endanger your health just to achieve a lovely glow. These days, you have so many choices when it comes to getting a fake suntan, such as using a topical solution. Sun tanning lotion is loved by so many UV-free tan fanatics because its formulation can really impress and it also comes in a variety of shades.

Grabbing a bottle of this tanner is just one of the many things that you need to carry out just to sport a realistic indoor tan. When shopping, opt for a shade that is very close to your natural skin color. This allows you to end up with a flattering sun-kissed glow rather than an unrealistic deep tone. Besides, you may simply reapply the product if you want more intensity.

Certain things need to be done just before you start smoothing this product all over your body or on certain areas only. There is no denying that the formulation it uses has already impressed so many individuals who no longer want to sit under the sun. By carrying out a few pre-tanning steps, you can enjoy the most realistic and head-turning result.

The organic chemical that makes this particular product work excellently is known as DHA. Derived from sugar beets and sugar cane, DHA is capable of browning those dead cells on the skin's uppermost layer. Your skin appears jagged under a microscope as dead cells tend to pile up. Removing excess ones has to be done before you get a tan indoors.

Exfoliating is highly recommended by the product's manufacturer before you begin to get a fake suntan. Doing this polishes the skin's topmost layer that is made up of dead cells, allowing DHA to work on a smoother surface. Exfoliating beforehand helps you sport a realistic outcome as it can prevent the resulting color from looking blotchy.

This important pre-tanning process is best done while in the shower with the use of a loofah or the exfoliating body gel also from Sun Laboratories. It's not a good idea for you to use other exfoliating solutions on the current market aside from the kind that is offered by the manufacturer. These products may contain oily ingredients that can keep DHA from being absorbed.

Another step that you need to carry out is shaving. This is best done after you shower so that the strands are still soft. Getting rid of those unwanted hairs on the face as well as on the body is necessary before you start to apply the lotion. Without those strands that can collect much of the tanner you rub all over, it's easier to avoid a blotchy outcome.

Certain areas of the body tend to absorb more DHA than the rest. This is especially true for very dry parts such as the knees and elbows. Prior to smoothing on the UV-free tanning lotion, spread your favorite hand and body moisturizer on these areas. Doing so keeps them from soaking up a lot of DHA so they don't end up darker than the surrounding skin.
