If looking for a way to have a very nice looking tan this summer without exposing the skin to the damage that can be caused by the UV rays, a Sun Self Tanning product may be the best choice. While Sun Self Tanning creates lotions and spray tans that use some of the best products on the market, it is important that an individual prepare the skin before using the kit. This will often make the difference between a natural looking tan and a streaky mess.

Users should avoid waxing the same day they plan to apply Sun Self Tanning. The wax used for hair removal coats the skin and will not allow the solution to absorb into the skin. It is essential that one waits a minimum of one day after waxing before use of these products to provide the best results.

Exfoliation of each area where the Sun Self Tanning product is to be applied. If the product is applied to dead skin cells, when they slough off, the result will be an uneven tan. Use caution in choosing exfoliation products. Salt or sugar scrubs contain oils that remain on the skin. These oils will keep the skin from absorbing the tan. Proper exfoliation before application ensures the tan is long lasting.

Before applying Sun Self Tanning agents one should shower using warm water and mild soap. The water should be set to a temperature that is neither too hot or too cold. Water that is too hot can create more dead skin cells. Cold water can close the pores and stop absorption of the product. The individual should not use a moisturizing body wash but a mild soap.

Shave each area before applying a Sun Self Tanning agent. It is important that hair be cut as close to one's skin as possible. Shaving also helps to exfoliate the body. Attempting to apply the product over hair is one of the main reasons for blotchy tans. Men using the product will want to shave the chest and arms if applying to these areas.

Before applying a Sun Self Tanning solution be sure to dry the body completely. Excess moisture can cause the solution to slide off one's skin without ever absorbing. Knees and elbows tend to absorb too much of the tanner, so apply a small amount of moisturizing lotion to these areas before applying the product. Do not use moisturizers in other locations before applying the product.

When it is time to apply the Sun Self Tanning solution to the body, wear disposable gloves. This prevents the product from absorbing too much on the hands due to the longer time it is in contact. Once the product has been applied to the rest of the body, remove the gloves and apply the product evenly to the hands.

With proper preparation, Sun Self Tanning products offer a natural looking finish to the body. Read and follow all directions printed on the label. This ensures the tan received is looks natural and lasts the maximum amount of time before needing to be re-applied.
