Preparing The Skin For The Application Of Your Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Getting a tan at home saves you from the dangers of unnecessary exposure to the sun's dangerous UV light. It also keeps you from the need to visit a local beauty salon just to attain a gorgeous complexion. Prior to the application of your favorite self tanning lotion, there are a few things you need to carry out. Proper skin preparation is the key to the attainment of a streak-free and long-lasting outcome.

Dirt and grime sitting on the top of your skin should be removed. Their presence can keep DHA, the active ingredient in today's tanners, from being absorbed and doing its job. Take a shower at least 6 hours before applying your tanner in order to attain the best possible outcome.

While in the shower, remove dead skin cells. Exfoliating beforehand is recommended because of two reasons. First, it keeps the end result from appearing patchy. Second, it makes the bronze color stay around longer. Using a loofah to polish the skin may be done. However, indoor tanning experts recommend the use of a body exfoliating gel made exclusively for fake suntan fanatics.

Remove unwanted body hair before applying the sunless tanner. The presence of hair can cause a patchy outcome, something that can quickly reveal that your tan is the fake kind. Whether you prefer to shave or wax, the hair-removal procedure has to be carried out at least 24 hours prior to getting a tan indoors. This gives irritated skin enough time to completely recover.

Refrain from applying your daily cosmetics. Any product that coats the skin can prevent the tanner's DHA from doing its job. In order to enjoy a really stunning result, do not apply perfumes, lotions, makeup and others you use on a daily basis.

Spread a thin layer of moisturizing lotion on the knees, elbows and ankles. These very dry areas of the body tend to soak up more DHA than the rest. You want to keep this from happening because having darker skin tone in certain areas is not flattering. To attain an even outcome, apply your favorite moisturizer on dry parts before spreading your sunless tanner on them.

Each time you wish to tan indoors, proper skin preparation has to be done beforehand. This allows you to achieve a really impressive result. It's also matters that you apply the tanner evenly for a streak-free and realistic outcome.
