Essential Things To Carry Out Before And After Rubbing On A Suntan Lotion

By Haywodo Hunter


Indoor tanning allows you to sport a lovely and healthy glow that makes you look like you just spent several minutes baking under the sun. This is especially true if the fake suntan lotion used is the best of the bunch. Other than opting for one of the best-selling UV-free tanners on the market, it's very important to carry out certain things before and after its application.

Before you rub on the self tanner all over, see to it that you have clean skin. The active ingredient known as DHA can do its job better if its absorption is not hindered by dirt, grease and excess skin oils. Prior to reaching for that bottle of your favorite sunless tanner and applying its contents, see to it that you take a shower first in order to thoroughly clean your skin.

Get rid of unwanted dead cells with the use of a loofah or scrub. Exfoliating is best done while you are having your shower. In case you have the money to spare for an exfoliating body gel, purchase a bottle of this product. It is commonly made by an indoor tanner manufacturer. Because it is used before tanning indoors, you can be sure that it won't leave an oily residue.

Shave the skin most especially after hitting the shower. If you apply your preferred fake tanning lotion without doing this beforehand, you might end up with a mottled look. The product you rub on may collect on those unwanted facial and body hairs and cause the skin surrounding them to end up darker. If waxing is your preferred method, do it at least a day ahead.

Applying your daily hand and body moisturizer on the elbows, knees and other very dry areas has to be done beforehand. Doing so helps keep these areas from absorbing more DHA, saving them from sporting deeper browns than the rest of the body. If you don't have the barrier cream or you're not a fan of using latex gloves, apply the moisturizer on your fingernails too.

After you are done spreading the product all over, ensure that it remains on your skin for the next 6 to 8 hours. Naturally, this means that you have to steer clear of taking a shower just to remove that fishy smell that DHA tends to emit while it is doing its job. It's also important to avoid engaging in any physical activity that can cause you to sweat profusely.

Smooth on your preferred hand and body moisturizer on a regular basis once the color you are expecting shows up. This helps slow down the process of exfoliation as it keeps the cells properly hydrated all the time. By delaying the skin's sloughing off, it's possible for you to sport the lovely sun-kissed glow for as long as 5 to 7 days.

Exfoliating has to be done once more the moment you notice that the color is no longer as intense as before. This helps remove too much dead skin cells that tend to make the fake tan look blotchy. It's a good idea to have the skin's topmost surface polished once again especially if you wish to reapply the tanner to bring back the intense shade.
