How To Apply The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


If you want to feel alive and bursting with energy then choose the best self tanning lotion. It will allow you to look good without being open to the risks of the real sun. You feel and look beautiful and will be attractive.

You have to choose wisely, though, to make sure your tan looks real. Some products on the market today give your skin a tell tale orange look. This is not what you want to achieve.

Some fake tans have a distinctive odor. There are some that leave both the bed sheets and your clothes stained. Others leave streaks. If you use these kinds of products you will be very dissatisfied and very uncomfortable with your tan.

There are all kinds of products available to buy at a range of prices. These include some that are just to use on the face. Other types are creams, gels, tinted and tan enhancers. All of them contain a product, which is used to darken the skin. Other ingredients for an improved fragrance are added. Some of these are cocoa butter, aloe vera, rosehip oil, or Vitamins A and D. Some lotions are specifically for oily skins, some are light weight but all are easy to apply. There are many that you can find that do not have the unpleasant smell that is often associated with these products.

Because your face is never covered you have to be particularly careful about applying your best lotion to this part of your body. First of all, gently cleanse your face with your favorite cleanser. Then you have to exfoliate to get rid of the dead skin that will affect the finish. Avoid using a moisturizer on your face as it may affect the condition of the tan.

Underneath the eyes is a special area that needs treating first. Use an eye cream. This will help the overall effect as sometimes the skin darkens too much in this region. Only one shade darker than your normal skin tone is required.

You can mix a little of your favorite moisturizer at this stage with your application. This will allow a smooth finish to your body. Remember your earlobes and your upper ears to complete the effect. Let the color develop for about 3 hours. Take care when washing your hands.

Next you can apply the lotion to the rest of your body. But first exfoliate as you did on your face. Be methodical and deal with one limb at a time. Begin with the legs and move down to the calves and then the ankles. Then concentrate on the thighs, hips, stomach and arms in that order. Afterwards you need ten minutes to make sure the tanning has dried thoroughly before you put on your clothes. It is advisable to avoid any vigorous exercise for several hours to avoid sweating which may cause the tan to streak. After that, whichever best self tanning lotion you choose you will look absolutely gorgeous.
