Discover Safe Self Tanning For A Brilliant Body

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a body that looks good then you can use a self tanning lotion. This avoids trying to get a tan by lying in the sun for a long time and being exposed to harmful rays. By using a fake product you can achieve a great color safely.

You will discover a number of different brands and types of products. So it is important that you choose one that will give you a natural look. All of them have a special ingredient. It is Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is this that causes the skin to become tanned.

Some products leave the skin looking orange, a far from natural state. Some have a rather unpleasant odor that tell everyone your tan is fake. Others fade very quickly so you have to spend extra time to re apply the product. Streaks and stains can be left by some of them so careful choice is important.

Try out your fake tan on a part of the body that is only visible to you. If you find the effect is not as you wished it to be, then only you will be able to see it. Make sure you cleanse your skin first before you exfoliate. Exfoliating removes flaky skin that would spoil the final effect if it is not removed first. A moisturizer can be used at a later stage.

You may find that some parts of you body will be tanned to a darker shade even though you have been careful. In order to avoid this effect on your face, first apply an eye cream under your eyes. You are aiming for one shade darker on your face to ensure a natural finish.

Now you can try mixing a small amount of moisturizer with your tanning lotion. This will enable a smoother application. As well as the face, cover the ears, too. Remove all traces of the fake tan from your hands by washing thoroughly.

Exfoliate the rest of your body and then repeat the process. Apply the product carefully, moving up the body and concentrating on one limb at a time. You will need several minutes for the tan to dry before you put on clothes. Do not exercise for a few hours. Otherwise the tan may streak.

The range of self tanning products on sale is vast. Types include gels, sprays mousses, milks and the ever popular lotion. There is one that will be suitable for your skin, that is lightweight and easily absorbed. Take the plunge and enjoy a new look!
