Tips For Using Ultra Dark Tanning Lotion

By Susan Jumonville


If a person wants a tan but they are worried about the sun's damaging their skin, they do have other options. Using an ultra dark tanning lotion is one of these options. Rather than exposing yourself to harmful rays and risking the damage to the skin, you can use a product that colors the skin in an easy and more healthy way. More and more people are choosing this option in order to prevent damaging their skin.

Exfoliate your skin. Doing this removes dead, dry, flaky skin. If you decide not to take the time to get rid of this skin, your tan will be blotchy and uneven. When you exfoliate, you give yourself a smooth foundation for adding color to your skin. This is not something that you want to skip.

Before you tan take a shower. Exfoliate your skin in the shower. This will help you to remove dead and dry skin. The result is a smoother foundation for your tan. If you do not do this, your skin will likely turn out blotchy instead of sexy, smooth and golden.

Apply lotion to areas of your skin that will absorb too much tanner. These areas include knees, elbows and ankles. If you do not protect these areas, they will turn out darker than other areas. You can do this by applying lotion to them before you begin, or you can mix your tanner solution with moisturizer whenever do these areas.

How you keep from getting too much color on knees and elbows is a concern that people may have. This is actually a very good thing to think about. Certain areas will grab more color than others. These areas are the knees, elbows and ankles. You have to ways to handle this, you can put moisturizer on these areas before applying the tanning solution. Another thing that can be done is mix lotion in with the solution before applying it on those areas.

Clean your hands as soon as you finish applying the product. Your palms are an area that absorbs color more deeply than other areas. The palms area also not areas that you tan naturally so you do not want color on them. Leave the bottom of your feet color free as well.

Stay undressed as your tan dries. If you absolutely have to get dressed wear something that is loose so it will not rub on your skin. If you wear something tight you may rub off some of your color. As a heads up, you may also notice some color coming off the first time that you shower after you tan. This is nothing to worry about and is normal.

You will likely need a few applications of your ultra dark tanning lotion to get the shade that you want. You may want to apply this every other day the first week. After this you can do a maintenance application to keep the color looking deep and tan. This will fade over time if you do not keep up with it. Generally your tan will begin to fade within a week if you do not follow through with maintaining the color. Keep your skin well moisturized between applications.
