By Haywood Hunter


The best self tanning lotion will allow you to get a beautifully tanned body without the hidden dangers of being exposed to the sun for hours at a time. A perfectly tanned body makes you feel good about yourself. You feel alive and full of energy, as if you have just returned from a holiday in an exotic country. You believe you are more appealing to the opposite sex.

An authentic looking tan needs a good quality product. You want to avoid looking orange. The effect should look like a real tan.

Some products have a special odor which can be unpleasant. Others can stain both the clothes you are wearing or spoil your bed sheets. You may find that some products leave a streaky effect. If you experience any of these effects your efforts to look and feel good will have been in vain.

There are all kinds of products available to buy at a range of prices. These include some that are just to use on the face. Other types are creams, gels, tinted and tan enhancers. All of them contain a product, which is used to darken the skin. Other ingredients for an improved fragrance are added. Some of these are cocoa butter, aloe vera, rosehip oil, or Vitamins A and D. Some lotions are specifically for oily skins, some are light weight but all are easy to apply. There are many that you can find that do not have the unpleasant smell that is often associated with these products.

Take special care when choosing a tanning lotion for your face. Every day your face is open to all kinds of weather and needs protection from the elements. Cleanse the face first by using a cleanser that you like. You should then exfoliate to remove any dead or flaky skin. Do not use a moisturizer at this stage as it could affect the durability of the tan.

When a fake tan is applied under the eyes it could be darker than desired. So apply an eye cream beforehand. You are trying to alter the tone by only one shade to ensure a natural look.

Now you can mix some or your chosen moisturizer with the lotion. It should result in a smoother finish. Use on your earlobes and your upper ears to finish the effect. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly to avoid streaks on them. They will be a sure sign that you have used a fake tan.

If you wish to apply the self tanning product to the rest of your body you will need to exfoliate. Apply the tanning lotion one limb at a time. Work down through the legs to the calves and the ankles. Next apply to the thighs and then the hips and stomach, shoulders and arms. You will require at least 10 minutes for drying before you put on clothes. As perspiration can cause the application to streak, avoid any energetic exercise for a few hours. Whichever one you choose you will be using the best self tanning lotion for you to feel and look superb.
