How To Get Great Results Using Self Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing is risky today, and people finally realized that. Using self tanning products is the best alternative, if you still want to have that appealing bronze tan. And you probably enjoy being tanned. It makes you look slimmer, tighter and more beautiful, because it can really enhance your natural beauty. All good self tanning lotions, creams and foams contain DHA, made of natural sugar.

DHA reacts with different amino acids in the most outer skin layer, creating the effect similar to natural bronzing. The final intensity of your color depends on the percentage of DHA used in this particular product. Besides DHA, every good self tanning lotion contains various color enhancers, moisturizers and some other additives.

To give your skin some special golden glow and appealing radiance, apply slightly darker color than your natural complexion has. If you want to achieve amazingly looking dark bronze nuances during summer, some self tanning foams will easily provide them. There are some simple advices that can help you achieve very nice results.

When applying your chosen self tanning lotion to your face, make sure to pull your hair up into ponytail first. Cleanse and exfoliate the face and neck carefully. Blend a little amount of self tanning lotion with a few drops of your moisturizer and apply this mixture quickly on your face. Don't forget to apply it on your earlobes and upper ears.

If you apply your under eye cream under your eyes first, these parts will stay lighter after applying self tanning lotion, and it will look just great. Use bronzing powder to emphasize your cheeks and forehead after the color sets, and put some on your nose, too. Your tan will look perfectly naturally this way.

Very small amount of Vaseline rubbed on cuticles and nails will prevent stains. If you still need to remove the paint from your nails, you can try using the toothpaste or a strong nail polish remover. Soaking your fingers in your favorite denture cleaner might also be helpful.

You have to exfoliate your entire body before starting applying a self tanning lotion. Pay special attention to heels, knees and elbows. If you need to shave, do it at least a day before the treatment. For sensitive skin, it's better to use good baby oil instead of your usual shaving cream. It will soften your skin and make it especially smooth.

Moisturizing is always important, but after applying self tanning lotion, you should moisturize daily. Another important thing is to use gloves when applying sunless tan lotion. Stained hands and dark palms aren't very appealing, but you can remove those stains using a mixture made of honey and baking soda. Instead of baking soda you can use salt or even some iced sugar. This paste will work well on streaks, too.

Sunless tan salons can give you the best results, anyway. It will cost you more, but experienced technician really knows how to achieve great results. They mostly use airbrush technology for applying your chosen color. Using self tanning booths is cheaper, yet effective method for achieving very nice bronze color, streak-free and attractive.
