How To Glow The Skin Using A Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


As many people discover the uses of self tanner products, they need to understand the best ways to use these products. The introduction of self tanners has saved many people from the damaging effects of burning their bodies under sunlight. By using a sunless tanning lotion, you are able to get a tint of skin that resembles a sunbath. The difference is that you do not have to expose the sensitive skin to these dangerous sunrays.

Since people have different types of skin, some products may be sensitive to specific skin properties. A spot testing can help in determining the effects you will get from a tan. A patch test is essential because it allows you establish if the tanner will work pretty well on your skin. Also, make sure you choose a lotion, which gives a tint for extended period.

Some products can last for up to a week or so and will not fade easily. Tanner lotions are made using a compound known as dihydroxyacetone which gives a fake tan on skin. The compound reacts with amino acids in skin to give it the glowing look. Basking in sunlight exposes the skin to serious conditions like cancer.

If you expose skin to those sunlight radiations for such a long duration, you will be damaging the dermis. However, with self tanner lotions, they are much safer and can give good results. They offer a fake tan that is not permanent. The ingredients include dihydroxyacetone that penetrate skin and react with amino acids to give the shade that you desire.

The skin may develop streaks and other ugly marks. It may also appear too orange. Some skin is just too hard to absorb tan products and it needs to be moisturized such as the hands and elbows. Although use of moisturizers is not advisable, there is need to ensure the dry and rough parts are moisturized.

For a lasting effect, ensure you choose the right tanner. Besides, since some ingredients could adversely react with dermis, there is needed to do some spot testing. A patch test helps you examine the suitability of a tan you are intending to use. You should not blindly apply your tan without testing it. You may not know the outcomes.

Allow the shaved areas to heal by shaving some days before you apply your tan. In choosing self tanning products, make sure you go for one that can offer a tint effect for long. Some products will only remain on skin for a few days and fade away. Others can stay on skin for a couple of days or even weeks before they fade out.

Make sure that you prepare the skin for proper application. Removing debris on skin such as oils, salts, and dirt will open up the pores. The dead skin cells on skin could also prevent smooth and even application of tanner. It is advisable that you consider exfoliating your dermis to ensure the pores are open. When you exfoliate, you expose a fresh skin layer that is able to effectively absorb the tan.
