Avoid Basic Self Tanning Mistakes

By Haywood Hunter


Many years ago, if a person wanted a tan, they had no other option but to dedicate time to sun bathing. Some time in the 1960's a scientific study was conducted that found a connection between all that sun exposure and skin cancer. Not long after than, self tanning products were developed and placed on the market. While the formula for these types of products isn't exactly the same as it originally was, they still remain great alternatives for those wanting to tan safely. Thanks to there availability, consumers can purchase these self tanning products for very little money and do the entire process themselves at home.

The best option available should always be the first consideration when shopping for self tanning products. The highest quality is desired for better consistency and results.

The chemistry of a person's skin is unique to only them. This is why it can take time to find a product that works best for one individual. While one brand might work great for one person, it may provide little to no results for another. This has nothing to do with the quality of the self tanning product used but rather the chemical makeup of that person's skin.

Preparation of the skin is essential for getting the best results when using self tanning products. All areas of the body should be cleansed, exfoliated and dried well before beginning. Many people even suggest that waiting until the day after to apply the self tanner works best. Exfoliating rids the skin of all the dead skin cells that are built up there. If not cleaned away, dead skin cells can cause a blotchy looking tan.

After cleaning and exfoliation, the self tanner can be applied. A slow circular motion for most self tanning creams is the best way to do the application. Do not attempt to cover the entire body at once. Choose one area to work on and once the self tanning product has been absorbed completely application in a different area can begin. The mixture of circular motion and allowing small areas to absorb will create a more even and flawless tan.

Ares like the knees, elbows and ankles have thicker skin than other parts of the body and self tanners are absorbed more easily which can lead to these areas looking much darker than everywhere else. A lot of people don't even apply anything to those areas or is they do, it is only a very light layer.

Choosing the correct shade of self tanning product is very important as well. For first time users, a lighter shade is usually the most suitable until more experience using these products is gained. Lighter shades do not show mistakes as prominent making them perfect for users testing out these types of products as they hide any flaws are blotchy areas very well.

By simply practicing a few simple tips during the process, self tanning can be a very positive experience. With correct application of these products, it should not be possible to tell the tan was not achieved from laying in the sun. In fact, a perfect looking tan all year round can be maintained without spending a single minute exposing the skin to harmful UV rays.
