Ways To Prepare One's Skin Before Applying A Sun Self Tanning Solution

By Haywood Hunter


Nearly everyone desires a great looking summer tan. However, evidence about the harm caused by UV radiation has many reconsidering spend time outside with unprotected skin. Sun Self Tanning products offer an excellent way to gain a sunless tan. These products are some of the top on the market, but even they require proper preparation of the body before they are applied. Preparing ones body to receive these products ensures a natural looking tan.

Users should avoid waxing the same day they plan to apply Sun Self Tanning. The wax used for hair removal coats the skin and will not allow the solution to absorb into the skin. It is essential that one waits a minimum of one day after waxing before use of these products to provide the best results.

Take time to exfoliate every area where the Sun Self Tanning tan is to be applied. Dead skin cells can absorb the product and then slough off, leaving an uneven result. While it is important to exfoliate, avoid salt and sugar scrubs. These products contain an oil that will leave a residue on the skin. This oil makes it hard for the skin to absorb the tanner solution resulting in a streaky tan.

Before applying Sun Self Tanning agents one should shower using warm water and mild soap. The water should be set to a temperature that is neither too hot or too cold. Water that is too hot can create more dead skin cells. Cold water can close the pores and stop absorption of the product. The individual should not use a moisturizing body wash but a mild soap.

Shave the legs before applying the Sun Self Tanning product. While waxing is out, unwanted hair needs to be removed. Shaving also helps with exfoliation. Applying the tanner over hair will cause a blotchy tan. For men using the Sun Self Tanning kit a more natural result will be achieved if the chest and arms are shaved first.

Take time to dry the body completely after showering and shaving. Excess moisture can be an enemy of s Sun Self Tanning product, causing it to slide away before it is absorbed. Two exceptions are the knees and elbows. Since they tend to absorb more of the product and get a dirty look, try applying a small amount of moisturizer before applying the tanner. This helps to ensure an even tan.

Wear disposable gloves when applying the Sun Self Tanning solution. The gloves prevent too much of the product from absorbing in a person's skin of the hands and causing them to be darker than one wants. Once the product is applied to the remainder of the body, the gloves should be removed and the product applied to the hands.

Sun Self Tanning solutions offer a safe and beautiful tan if they are use correctly. Consumers will want to take time to read and follow any manufacture's instructions that are provided with the tanner. These directions can ensure the tan that is received is the best possible and lasts as long as possible.
