Advice For Creating That Ideal Sunless Tan

By Haywood Hunter


A natural sun-kissed glow is highly desirable today. One reason is because it is associated with good health. This can be easily achieved with the right sunless tanning products. However, to get a sunless look that appears real it also requires skillful application. Here are some tips for getting the tan you want throughout the year.

Selection of the right products is the key to achieving the perfect color. There are many on the market today, but the best ones interact with skin cells working only on the outer layer of the epidermis. Sunless tanners that claim they penetrate the under layer should be.

It is always important to use sunless products only as recommended on the label. Although it may appear that more is better, in this in case, it could result in an undesirable result. Selecting the right shade is also important, but skin tone must be considered. Fair skin, for example, can appear fake when extremely dark sunless tanners are used.

Lotions, creams, powders, and sprays are common forms of sunless tanners. Research has shown that lotions last longer, but sprays achieve better results. This is because those applying them can reach areas that are difficult for an individual. Sunless sprays also go on more evenly than those in other forms.

Exfoliating the skin prior to applying a sunless product is also important. This will eliminate a splotchy appearance. Skin needs to be limited to length of contact. This is especially important with hands that are known to become darker with exposure to sunless products.

Sunless products take time to apply properly and should be allowed to dry thoroughly. Plan on spending 45 minutes to 1 hour to apply the product and about 3 hours drying time. Fortunately, changes in the industry continue to improve sunless tanners so there is no reason you cannot achieve the look desired within a very short time.
