Five Tips For Using Sun Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Many people like to tan their skin without risking being in the sun. Commercial products can be purchased to tan your skin that does not need sunlight. Sun fake tanner can be tricky to use, but if you follow the following tips you may have a better experience with this type of product.



Go for a gradual tan by choosing a starting color close to your natural skin tone. Many sun faker tanner lotions have a starting color tone, and going too dark quickly may result in an unnatural look.

Hair removal should be done before applying any sun fake tanner. If you are planning to wax, it may be a good idea to do so a couple of days before tanning so that all wax residue and effects of waxing have gone. Daily moisturizing and exfoliation in the days before applying sun fake tanner may help to lengthen the time before a repeat application is needed. However, avoid over moisturizing the day of tanning.



When applying the lotion, make sure you cover all areas of skin which you are planning to let people see. If you are putting the lotion on your legs, for example, make sure to cover the whole area so that no spots will be left uncovered. Make sure you wash your hands immediately after you finish applying the product unless you want your palms to be tanned as well.

Let the product dry before putting on anything that will cover the area. Different sunless products may have different drying times. Waiting until the product is fully dry may prevent any clothing from being stained or any product rubbing off.

In the days following sun fake tanner application avoid exfoliating or indulging in a long bath. By doing so, you will extend the time that your tanning results will last before having to reapply. You may also wish to avoid shaving your legs, if you tanned them using sun fake tanner, for at least two days this may also help lengthen the time between applications. Some people may even choose to wax their legs prior to sun fake tanner application. If you also choose to wax it may be a good idea to do so a few days before using a sun fake tanner. This way any leftover waxy residue won't be on your skin covering any areas that may need to be colored with a tanner product.

Using a sun fake tanner product may be a way to slow the effects of premature aging caused by over exposure to sunshine. However, if you want to make sure full coverage is achieved more easily going to a professional for sun fake tanner application is an option. Following the tricks above will help lengthen the stay of color on your skin and may help the sun fake tanner result look more natural.
