Discover Tips About The Darkest Self Tanner Products

By Haywood Hunter


Many individuals can make the mistake of buying the darkest self tanner product they can find in the shops. They become disillusioned when they do not immediately get the perfect tan they expected. Out of frustration they may choose to ignore all the health warnings about the sun and the risks of developing skin cancer.

The problem with finding good self tan products is that what works for one person, may not be as effective on someone else. The results should be much the same but there are several factors that can affect the results. Having a look at some of the poorer results helps users to know they dos and do not of using tanning products.

Always read the instructions carefully so you know what you need to do and what else you need to buy. Check the ingredients to ensure there is nothing that can cause an allergic reaction. Make sure that the product is recommended for use on your skin type and natural coloring. If your skin is normally very white, and you purchase the darkest self tanner on the shelf, the results may be disastrous. It is better to build the tan gradually to achieve the best results.

Following the manufacturers recommendation to test the product first is a good idea. By allowing the product to develop over a period of several hours, the user will be able to judge the results. They will also know whether or not the product is likely to cause an allergic reaction. If there are any unwanted reactions, then it is best not to apply the product.

A successful test also allows the user to see how difficult or easy it is to use the product. They can tone down the end color if it is very dark, is streaky or looks too orange by adding some body lotion. Adding lotion should also make the tanning solution easier to apply.

Making sure that all dry skin has been removed by exfoliating then washing and drying it helps to prevent streaks. Extra attention needs to be given to the elbows, knees and other joints when exfoliating to ensure an even tan. If streaks do appear, using a piece of lemon or some toner on cotton wool to dab the streaks helps to reduce their appearance by removing some of the color.

Different products can take anything from five minutes to a couple of hours to dry into the skin properly. Before they have finished drying, they can leave stains on clothes. Products containing a bronzer will wash off in the shower or the bath even after a few hours. Never go to bed shortly after using a tanning product, or you may ruin your bed clothes.

There are several products that are specifically for use on the face. Even they should never be used near the eyes for safety. Not all tanning products, especially the darkest tanning products, are suitable to be used on the face.
