How To Get A Natural Look With Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


The use of a self tanner is considered one of the most desirable solutions to produce an attractive sun kissed glow all year round. Self tanning lotion is one of the best product options, but will have to be applied correctly and chosen with care to prevent the formation of an orange color and streaks. Find out how to apply your favorite product to achieve a uniform and appealing tan.

There are many self tanning agents that can be purchased, but the key to achieving a natural sun kissed glow is to choose the correct product and know how to apply it. For those who are worried about the formation of undesirable streaking and patched areas, the use of a tinted product can aid in spotting these mishaps. It can also aid in detecting the regions of the body that are not covered in the tan based product.

A tinted tanner can provide instant results, but the thicker formulation also makes it difficult to manage and clothing can soon become stained. The fast drying times mean that it has to be applied quickly to ensure that an even result is produced. A sunscreen and lightweight moisturizer can be used with the tinted tanners to produce a thinner formula and ease of use.

Products are available with extra hydration including the delivery of a gradual tan with regular use. These products have been developed for daily application and moisturization making for the development of darker tones over a period of time. It is important to allow the cream to dry after it is applied and to thoroughly wash your hands to prevent stained palms.

Start off with tints that include a lighter shade as it is easier to gradually increase the intensity of your tan rather than have to scrub dark stains from your body. Look out for ingredients including vitamin E and coca butter that provide intensive nourishing properties for dry skin. These products will not contain a sunscreen and the appropriate sun protection factor should be used in this instance.

A large number of self tanners have been described as producing a less than desirable scent that is attributed to their active ingredients. If you do not enjoy the scent, look for products that have added fragrances that will provide more appealing results. It is imperative that research is completed to aid in making the best possible decisions for aesthetic needs.

For those who wish to apply product to facial areas, look out for a formula that is lightweight and not a harsh color. If you have a fair skin tone do not use a dark or intense shade that will be most noticeable and unnatural. Look out for the products that are most compatible with an oily or dry complexion.

A number of products contain DHA that works by binding with healthy tissue and producing the tanned appearance. For this reason, it is important to cleanse and exfoliate the body to ensure that an attractive even result is achieved. Be sure to use a moisturizer on a daily basis that will aid in extending the life of your tan and provide intensive hydration properties.
