Getting Beautiful Results From Dark Self Tan Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Ever since 1960s health authorities announced that exposure to the sun causes health problems, self tanning products have become more and more popular. Over the years products have got better and better and now it is possible to enjoy a long lasting and natural looking tan without any exposure to the sun or visit to a solarium. Technology has now produced dark self tan solutions, that create a natural yet deeper and dark self tan for those who want it. There are plenty of tanning products available now, including normal color tanners and dark self tan lotions.

All of the best self tanners contain DHA. DHA is naturally occurring chemical that reacts to the skin's top layer, making it darker. It is found in natural sugars such as sugar beet and sugar cane. Dark self tan products contain more DHA than normal products.

Tanning solutions do not stain clothes or hair. Most lotions will have a mild starchy odor after application but this goes away after a few hours. Most people prefer to be naked well applying self tanner, although many like to cover there hair with a shower cap in case the tanner ruins their hair-style.

Before applying any self tanning spray it is extremely important to exfoliate all over the body. The skin on the sin's surface is actually dead and this is what the DHA reacts with. However, some skin cells are older than others and these will fall off sooner. Exfoliating will remove these older cells so the tan will not look uneven and patchy.

Moisturizing is also important as this helps the tan last longer. Moisturizing will slow down the removal of dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin. It is a good idea to moisturize the skin in between each tanning session so that the self tan sits better on the skin and lasts longer.

A good quality dark self tan will last for as long as 10 days, if the skin has been exfoliated and moisturized. The lotion can then be reapplied. Regular use of dark self tan lotion will not harm the skin and will let you enjoy tanned skin all year long.

It usually takes about a day for a dark self tan to appear, although lighter skinned people may have to wait another day. The tan starts to appear after just a few hours and the skin goes gradually darker as the DHA in the dark self tan tales effect. Using a dark self tan product regularly will give you beautifully tanned skin all year long, but it is important to get into the habit of exfoliating and moisturizing.

It is very wise to avoid any exercise and sweating for at least 4 hours after applying dark self tan. Also, you should avoid bathing or showering for four hours after application. This will ensure that the dark self tan does its job properly. Do a search on the internet for dark self tan sprays and lotions and grab yourself a great deal. It is possible to save money by buying in bulk if you intend to have a year round tan.
