Having An Excellent Skin By Using Various Selftanning Methods

By Haywwod Hunter


In the past, the most popular way to gain a suntan was to lie in the sun on a hot summers day, and to make use of creams that aided the process. However, nowadays it is a well-known fact that the sun's rays can damage the skin, and can cause a few serious diseases as well. Therefore, it is now more popular to use other selftanning methods.

People now have the choice of tanning without the harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. This can be achieved in the comfort of their own homes as well. Time is also saved, as it can take a few hours of lying in the sun to have a positive affect on the skin's tone and color. Nowadays, people prefer to use a variety of self tan methods.

This is why there are so many self tan lotions available on the market. With these self tanning products, you can enjoy the process. In addition, because lotions are being used, you will find the process much easier, and the results will be better as well. Although the many sunless, self tan products are reigning, much care needs to be taken with their application.

Everyone has different skin types, and for this reason, not everyone may be able to use the same self tan lotion. At the very least, the product should be tested on a small part of your skin before larger applications are made, but it is even better to visit a dermatologist. They can order more advanced tests to get you the best lotion for your skin type.

Using the right skin tan lotion in the wrong way, or using the wrong skin tan lotion altogether, can have disastrous effects. To avoid problems, always read the product overview before doing anything. It will have information about the cream, as well as application instructions. In addition, skin must be ready for the application, and therefore, certain steps must be taken.

Twenty-four hours before you plan to use a self tan lotion, your skin will need to be ex-foliated. This will prepare your skin for the self tan lotion, ensuring that the maximum results are achieved. The lotion cannot be applied to dirty skin, as an even application is required.

Many people just 'slap' on the cream and hope for the best, however, it should actually be applied in circular movements. Do it in slow motion as well, so that the skin has time to absorb the cream. Certain areas of the body do not take well to self tan lotion, and could appear much darker than other skin areas. These include the elbows, ankles and knees. Do not apply in these areas, or only use a little to avoid an unwanted appearance.

Another consideration to be made before the use of self tan cream, is their color, or shade. A person is usually recommended to start with a lighter shade, as it is less likely to create an undesirable effect. The results of darker shades may be much harder to undo if they don't look good. Nowadays, it is unnecessary to suntan in the conventional way, as the selftanning methods available are so much more effective.
