Reasons Why A Self Tanner Can Be A Better Idea

By Haywood Hunter


Using a self tanner product is a much healthier alternative to tanning beds or sunbathing as it means that exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays is not necessary. The formula of these tanning products have improved dramatically in recent years, and most will look natural when applied properly.

The main key for success when using tanning creams and lotions will be to spread these products on the body evenly so that they don't have dark and light regions. Also, any areas on the body must be exfoliated first. This ensures that users are getting a tan that will be even looking.

Always moisturize any areas which are dry and rough to increase the chances of success. This usually includes the elbows and knees. Exfoliating and moisturizing should begin several days before you plan to apply the lotion. Doing this will help the lotion adhere to the skin much easier.

Prior to utilizing the lotion, it is advised to take a shower with a mild body wash. This can smooth out all uneven parts and take off dead skin cells. Moreover, it's recommended to shave and wax your legs also to make sure that they'll be at their smoothest before the application.

Whenever actually applying these products, always stored in a single area and apply to your skin as smoothly as possible. Make sure that you are avoiding your toes and fingers because these areas don't tan effectively. Whenever finished, make sure everything is thoroughly dry before you touch any surfaces including your clothes or other objects. This process will usually take around an hour or so.

Finally, after you've applied the self tanner always wash the hands thoroughly using soap and water. This helps in avoiding turning the palms to an orange looking color. Additionally, it's recommended you test small portions of your skin first.
