Discover Safe Self Tanning For A Brilliant Body

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a body that looks good then you can use a self tanning lotion. This avoids trying to get a tan by lying in the sun for a long time and being exposed to harmful rays. By using a fake product you can achieve a great color safely.

You will discover a number of different brands and types of products. So it is important that you choose one that will give you a natural look. All of them have a special ingredient. It is Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is this that causes the skin to become tanned.

Some products leave the skin looking orange, a far from natural state. Some have a rather unpleasant odor that tell everyone your tan is fake. Others fade very quickly so you have to spend extra time to re apply the product. Streaks and stains can be left by some of them so careful choice is important.

If you are trying out a tanning product for the first time, use on a discrete area of your body so the effect is only visible to you. If you are applying to your face then use one just for that area. You should cleanse first and then exfoliate to remove flaky skin that would spoil the overall effect. Do not use a moisturizer yet.

You may find that some parts of you body will be tanned to a darker shade even though you have been careful. In order to avoid this effect on your face, first apply an eye cream under your eyes. You are aiming for one shade darker on your face to ensure a natural finish.

Now you can mix some moisturizer to your fake lotion. This will help you to apply more smoothly and will nourish the skin. Cover the ears, too. The tan will gradually darken over the next few hours. Remove all fake tan from your hands by washing very carefully.

Next, exfoliate the rest of the body in the same way as you did for your face. Move up through your body, covering one limb at a time. Make sure you allow the tan to dry before putting on your clothes. If you exercise within a few hours of the application you may spoil the effect by causing it to streak.

The range of self tanning products on sale is vast. Types include gels, sprays mousses, milks and the ever popular lotion. There is one that will be suitable for your skin, that is lightweight and easily absorbed. Take the plunge and enjoy a new look!
