Five Tricks For Using Sun Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Lying in the sun for hours to darken your skin color can lead to unwanted side effects like burning, cancer, or early skin aging. Luckily for those people who like to have dark skin there are commercial products available that do not require sunlight. Using sun fake tanner is different from using tanning sprays and lying in the sun. Following the five tricks below may help you achieve long lasting natural looking results.



Choose a starting color close to your natural color. Most sun fake tanner products have a starting color. If you are light skinned and choose a dark starting color you may end up with a unnatural looking result. It may be a good idea to keep in mind that sun fake tanner lotion once applied cannot be turned off once it reaches the desired color.

Hair removal should be done before applying any sun fake tanner. If you are planning to wax, it may be a good idea to do so a couple of days before tanning so that all wax residue and effects of waxing have gone. Daily moisturizing and exfoliation in the days before applying sun fake tanner may help to lengthen the time before a repeat application is needed. However, avoid over moisturizing the day of tanning.



When applying the lotion, make sure you cover all areas of skin which you are planning to let people see. If you are putting the lotion on your legs, for example, make sure to cover the whole area so that no spots will be left uncovered. Make sure you wash your hands immediately after you finish applying the product unless you want your palms to be tanned as well.

Before covering the area with clothing give the sun fake tanner ample time to dry. Waiting for the product to set ensures that some of it won't transfer onto other items like clothing or bed sheets.

In the days following sun fake tanner application avoid exfoliating or indulging in a long bath. By doing so, you will extend the time that your tanning results will last before having to reapply. You may also wish to avoid shaving your legs, if you tanned them using sun fake tanner, for at least two days this may also help lengthen the time between applications. Some people may even choose to wax their legs prior to sun fake tanner application. If you also choose to wax it may be a good idea to do so a few days before using a sun fake tanner. This way any leftover waxy residue won't be on your skin covering any areas that may need to be colored with a tanner product.

Sunless tanning is a way to avoid harmful sunlight exposure. Following the tips above may help to not only lengthen time it takes for your tan to fade, but also help achieve a natural looking coverage of your sun fake tanner. If you are worried about making mistakes, during application which could lead to an unnatural tan look, some tanning business also offer sun fake tanner application by a professional.
