Factors To Consider When Choosing The Best Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Seek the advice of your dermatologist before using any sun tan lotion. They will know which product will work well on your skin and which one will not. You can also go to your local beauty therapist, but you must first ensure that they are qualified.

The shade of tanning lotion should be close your natural skin color. This way you will get more natural results. You should also look for a sun tan lotion that is made for your skin type.

Exfoliate your skin thoroughly in preparation for the tanning. Do not exfoliate too close to the period you will be using the sun tan lotion since you will end up having very sensitive skin that may be negatively affected by the lotion. Give it a period of six hours for the skin to heal properly.

Moisturize your skin well so that you can get a very beautiful glow from the tan. Most people make the mistake of using a sun tan lotion on skin that is quite dry, and instead of getting a good golden glow end up getting a very dry ashy complexion. Also hydrate by drinking a lot of water.

Remove any makeup and deodorant prior to using the sun tan lotion. Deodorant is known to have very many chemicals, most commonly alcohols, most of which will react with the tanning lotion and give a very nasty green residue that is quite smelly. Make up on the other hand will prevent the lotion from being absorbed fully.

You will be at a better position to use the sun tan lotion if you have someone apply it on you. This is because they will have a better viewing angle of the entire body. This will ensure that you are fully covered so that you do not end up looking patchy.

Most people make the mistake of going out before the sun tan lotion has dried fully. It has to be dry since the heat as well as the activities that you carry out may cause you to sweat a lot. The sweat will in turn make some very unprepossessing smudges on your skin that may require you to wash off the entire tan and start all over again. When you use the sun tan lotion, stay in a cool place with minimal humidity. You should not also wear clothes immediately after using the lotion since it might rub off on your clothes.

Avoid showering until the lotion dries. Sun tan lotion does not give a permanent shade of tan hence you might require to have a few touch up procedures now and then. Observe your skin and notice how fast the tan fades so that you can keep track of how often you will need to repeat the procedure. The secret to a perfect tan is consistency so ensure the shade you have is the same all year round. Take your time and choose a good sun tan lotion.
