Tips On Preparing The Skin For Your Favorite Sun Laboratorie Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Enjoying a fabulous fake suntan requires more than just reaching for that bottle of Sun Laboratorie tanner. There are certain things that need to be done first, particularly on your skin. Below are some tips on how to avoid a blotchy tan.

Indoor tanning is similar to creating a fabulous work of art. Your skin acts as the canvas and your chosen Sun Laboratorie tanner is the paint. Naturally, the finished product won't look right if the canvas isn't primed for what you put on its surface.

One of the most important things to carry out prior to the use of a Sun Laboratorie self tanning solution is exfoliating your skin. The active ingredient of a Sun Laboratorie tanner is called DHA, a chemical capable of darkening the skin's topmost part which basically consists of dead cells. Applying the tanner on an uneven layer of dead skin cells is like asking for a cosmetic tragedy to show up. Exfoliating beforehand ensures that DHA in the self tanning product has a smooth surface to work on.

Try to steer clear of scrub solutions which leave an oily residue. Otherwise, DHA in the Sun Laboratorie tanner won't be able to penetrate the skin and complete its job. Use a sponge or loofah to effectively remove excessive amounts of dead skin cells, paying special attention to the elbows and knees where more of them are present. You may also buy a bottle of Sun Laboratorie exfoliating body gel, a product which is specifically formulated for such important pre-indoor tanning task.

Exfoliating is best done while taking a shower. Use plain soap and not a fancy one which contains moisturizing ingredients. Rinse with warm water to help remove sloughed off skin thoroughly. When you step foot outside the shower, there should be nothing that sits on your skin which can keep your favorite Sun Laboratorie self tanner from performing its task.

The removal of unwanted hair is another task that should be carried out before using your Sun Laboratorie tanning solution. It's not unlikely for you to end up with a blotchy fake suntan if you apply the product on a hairy surface. Shave beforehand to remove unwanted hair and provide added exfoliating effect. If waxing is the method preferred, have it done at least a day before tanning.

Dry areas like the elbows and knees tend to absorb more DHA in the Sun Laboratorie tanning product. It's not unlikely for these parts to end up darker than the rest of the body when the full effect of the self tanner shows up. To keep this from happening, apply a thin layer of your favorite moisturizing lotion on these areas to keep them from soaking up lots of DHA.

Make sure that you wear gloves before you begin applying your Sun Laboratorie self tanner solution. Your palms should be protected from DHA to keep them from ending up with a lasting stain. Besides, indoor tanning products should not be applied on parts of the body that don't darken when you sunbathe. If you are allergic to latex, opt for a pair of plastic gloves.
