Tips On Getting The Best Fake Tan Using Sun Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


You don't really have to bake under the sun and endanger your health just to achieve a lovely glow. These days, you have so many choices when it comes to getting a fake suntan, such as using a topical solution. Sun tanning lotion is loved by so many UV-free tan fanatics because its formulation can really impress and it also comes in a variety of shades.

The initial step you need to take if you want to sport a sun-kissed glow without sunbathing is getting a bottle of this product. Opt for a shade that is very close to your base skin tone. This is the secret to the attainment of an artificial tan that looks real rather than unnaturally deep. Besides, you simply have to apply some more if a slightly darker color is what you like.

Just before you smooth on this product loved by so many indoor suntan aficionados all over the planet, you need carry out a few things. Everyone knows that the product's formulation is undeniably impressive as evidenced by the sheer number of happy users. To attain the most remarkable result that this tanner is capable of producing, the skin has to be prepared for it.

The chemical that makes the product work wonderfully is called DHA. Extracted from plants like sugar cane and beets, it can darken the topmost layer of your skin that is comprised of dead cells. Dead cells pile on top of one another, giving your skin a rough or jagged appearance when viewed under a microscope. Before you tan indoors, it's a good idea to remove excess ones.

Because of the presence of too much dead skin cells, the manufacturer of the tanner recommends exfoliation beforehand. This process polishes the topmost layer of your skin that is comprised of dead cells, enabling DHA to work its magic on a smoother surface. By exfoliating thoroughly, you can save yourself from ending up with a blotchy artificial suntan.

This very important pre-tanning procedure has to be done while you are taking a shower. Use a loofah or the body gel that is also being offered by Sun Laboratories. Using other exfoliating solutions out there that is not recommended by the manufactures is a bad idea. It's because they may contain oily ingredients that can hinder the action of DHA.

Shaving is another thing that you need to do after taking a shower while those strands are still soft, letting you achieve a really close shave. It's a good idea to remove unwanted facial and body hair before spreading the lotion all over. Without those strands where the product may collect and deliver more DHA, it's easier for you to end up with a smooth fake suntan.

Your elbows, knees ankles and other parts that tend to have dry skin usually absorb more DHA. You don't want this to happen as they may only end up darker than the rest of your body. To prevent this cosmetic disaster from happening, apply you daily hand and body moisturizer on them right before you start smoothing on the sunless tanner.
