Five Tricks For Using Sun Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


The over indulgence of being in the sun's rays can contribute to premature skin aging, burning, even skin cancer. In order to limit exposure to harmful UV rays, some people who like having a darker skin color have switched to using sun fake tanner products. This way they keep the color they would usually get by laying in sunlight for hours. Following the 5 techniques below may help you to attain a natural color and keep it on your skin longer.



Begin with a sun fake tanner color close to your current color. Doing this will result in a gradual darkening after each sun fake tanner application. For people with light skin choosing a light to medium color transition may result in a color that doesn't look like it's achieved by sun fake tanner.

Exfoliate and moisturize before using the product. Exfoliation beforehand will remove dead skin cells and may lengthen the time sun fake tanner can be seen by others on your skin. Moisturizing, in the days before applying sun fake tanner, will help distribute the color on knees, elbows, and ankles for a smoother unified look. However, it is important not to overly moisturize directly before application as it could lead to uneven distribution.



Carefully distribute the sun fake tanner onto your skin as instructed on the product. Making sure that no spots are left uncovered could lead to a smoother color result that will be more natural looking as long as you follow what is written in number 1 above. If you are unsure about coverage you can ask a fried or a sunless tanning professional to help.

Let the product dry before putting on anything that will cover the area. Different sunless products may have different drying times. Waiting until the product is fully dry may prevent any clothing from being stained or any product rubbing off.

In the days following sun fake tanner application avoid exfoliating or indulging in a long bath. By doing so, you will extend the time that your tanning results will last before having to reapply. You may also wish to avoid shaving your legs, if you tanned them using sun fake tanner, for at least two days this may also help lengthen the time between applications. Some people may even choose to wax their legs prior to sun fake tanner application. If you also choose to wax it may be a good idea to do so a few days before using a sun fake tanner. This way any leftover waxy residue won't be on your skin covering any areas that may need to be colored with a tanner product.

Sunless tanning is a way to avoid harmful sunlight exposure. Following the tips above may help to not only lengthen time it takes for your tan to fade, but also help achieve a natural looking coverage of your sun fake tanner. If you are worried about making mistakes, during application which could lead to an unnatural tan look, some tanning business also offer sun fake tanner application by a professional.
