Discover Simple Facts About The Darkest Self Tanner Products

By Haywood Hunter


We all like to have a good tan, but using the darkest self tanner products available is not always the best option. There is no doubt that an artificial tan is better for our health than one gained from sitting out in the sun. However, it is amazing how many people still put their health at risk by ignoring the warnings. Is it because the self tan products do not give them the results they want.

The problem with finding good self tan products is that what works for one person, may not be as effective on someone else. The results should be much the same but there are several factors that can affect the results. Having a look at some of the poorer results helps users to know they dos and do not of using tanning products.

Always read the instructions carefully so you know what you need to do and what else you need to buy. Check the ingredients to ensure there is nothing that can cause an allergic reaction. Make sure that the product is recommended for use on your skin type and natural coloring. If your skin is normally very white, and you purchase the darkest self tanner on the shelf, the results may be disastrous. It is better to build the tan gradually to achieve the best results.

Test the product on a hidden patch of skin a good number of hours before using on the rest of the body. This allows time for any reaction to the product to show up. It gives the product time to develop and should provide a good indication of what the result will be when applied to the rest of the body.

A successful test also allows the user to see how difficult or easy it is to use the product. They can tone down the end color if it is very dark, is streaky or looks too orange by adding some body lotion. Adding lotion should also make the tanning solution easier to apply.

Uneven and streaky results often occur because the tanner is not applied to dry, clean and exfoliated skin. When exfoliating, it is important to pay particular attention to joint areas and feet, to achieve a much smoother tan. Have a wedge of lemon or some cotton wool and toner to hand when applying tanning products. Dabbing areas that are streaky helps to reduce the excess colour.

Being in too much of a rush and not allowing the product to set can result in clothes being stained and the tan can become patchy. Particularly, products that have bronzer as an ingredient can be washed or rubbed off too easily. Users should always wait a few hours after applying the product before showering or bathing. Going to bed before the product is dry can ruin the bedclothes with stains.

There are several products that are specifically for use on the face. Even they should never be used near the eyes for safety. Not all tanning products, especially the darkest tanning products, are suitable to be used on the face.
