Discover Safe Self Tanning For A Brilliant Body

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a body that looks good then you can use a self tanning lotion. This avoids trying to get a tan by lying in the sun for a long time and being exposed to harmful rays. By using a fake product you can achieve a great color safely.

You will discover a number of different brands and types of products. So it is important that you choose one that will give you a natural look. All of them have a special ingredient. It is Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is this that causes the skin to become tanned.

Some tanning products have a rather unpleasant odor. Some make your skin look orange and not at all like the real tan. Others do no last as long so you have to re apply it more frequently. This is time consuming and costly. Be careful to avoid some products that streak or color your clothes.

In order to avoid a disaster, it is advisable to try out your product in a discrete area of your body. If you do make a mistake only you will see it! There are special tanning products available just for the face. Cleanse the area before you exfoliate. This will remove flaky and dead skin and help the final effect to be a good one. Delay using a moisturizer at this stage.

Certain parts of the body sometimes become darker than the tan overall. To avoid this on the face, which is always on view, then apply an eye cream just under the eyes. Do not try to darken the face too much or you will end up with a look that is not natural.

Before applying your tan to your face you can mix a little moisturizer with it at this stage. This will enable a smooth application. Having covered the ears too, allow the tan to take effect over the next few hours. But do not forget to wash your hands carefully to remove all traces of your fake tan.

Exfoliate the rest of your body and then repeat the process. Apply the product carefully, moving up the body and concentrating on one limb at a time. You will need several minutes for the tan to dry before you put on clothes. Do not exercise for a few hours. Otherwise the tan may streak.

The range of self tanning products on sale is vast. Types include gels, sprays mousses, milks and the ever popular lotion. There is one that will be suitable for your skin, that is lightweight and easily absorbed. Take the plunge and enjoy a new look!
