The Self Tanner Products Make Available A Safer Alternative To Traditional Suntanning

By Haywood Hunter


Today it is still fashionable to look tanned. Many people do not want to look white because they think this reflects an unhealthy appearance. A tan suggests that the wearer is healthy and active. People feel happier when they can replace a white skinned complexion with a bronzed look that could have been produced by the sun. The self tanner was made available to the market over twenty year's ago. It allows the consumer to determine what their skin color looks like. The choices are numerous and can cause confusion if no research is done ahead of time.

In order to avoid any streaky areas be sure to moisturize ahead of time the skin that tends to dry out. These areas include the elbows, knees and fingers. Rub in the moisturizer well so that it is thoroughly absorbed into the skin. This will give the self tanner tanning ingredients in the self tanner a more even distribution resulting in a natural bronzed look.

The market offers a wide assortment of self tanner bases such as sprays, lotions and oils. The skin type will determine which base is the best to use. Most people will choose the spray because of its convenient application. It comes in a spray bottle and allows for ease of use by simply pressing a button.

Having a helping hand is also convenient. If possible, a second person can spray on the self tanner thus helping to avoid those pesky streaks and missed spots. The friend can reach the hard to reach spots more easily. For simple applications such as spraying the legs, a second person isn't needed as much. Many girls avoid wearing nylons by choosing a self tanner for their legs on a regular basis.

Mousse has proven to be a popular second choice as a self tanner. The mousse is a foamy application that spreads easily for a uniform distribution of the tanning product. Mousse is relatively drip free so the procedure is pleasant and quick.

Some people are not looking for an entire body tanning but simply a tanned complexion. This they can do on their own very easily by pulling their hair back in front of a mirror. The important thing to remember is to use the self tanner sparingly. If streaks appear they can be erased by rubbing some lemon juice on the streaked areas with a cotton pad.

People who experience dryness of skin will want to add extra moisturizer and they can do this in the form of oils. Natural plant oils are preferred since they provide nutrients to the skin type that can dry easily from the tanning ingredients. The scent of the natural ingredients in the self tanner will also make application of the self tanner a pleasant experience.

Tan boosters are also used to enhance the first coat of the tan produced by the self tanner. They will help to even out the color and enhance the tan even more. Some tan boosters create a shimmer as well adding a special quality to the skin. It's recommended to read the package directions of the self tanner to ascertain that the tan enhancer and self tanner can be used together.
