Before settling on any method of tanning, you should first seek professional help. Go and visit your dermatologist, and have them assess your skin. They will then be at a position to advice accordingly regarding the type of dark lotion that you should use and which one you should stay away from.

Unwanted hair will make the lotion hard to be absorbed. Get rid of this excess hair before using dark lotion. You should also take a shower and use a good body scrub and a loofah to take off the dead skin and to reveal the fresh skin.



Some lotions are known to be concentrated with very harmful chemicals that may wreak havoc on your skin. Carefully read the label and confirm that the dark lotion is safe for your skin. Also, if you are not sure that you might have an allergic reaction to the skin, do a spot test. Apply a little of the dark lotion on your skin and let it sit for a day or so. If there is no change in the skin, you can conclude that the product is safe to use.

Do not forget to wash your hands once you are done using the lotion, otherwise you will end up with dark palms that are quite unattractive. Putting on a pair of latex gloves while applying the lotion to your body will save you the stress of having to wash your hands when you are through with using the product. Once you are done take off the gloves and use a sponge to apply the dark lotion to the backs of your hands.

Hydrate your skin. Applying dark lotion will only serve the purpose of giving your skin a pigmentation and will not in any way influence moisture content of your skin. Ensure that you take a lot of water prior to using any dark lotion for tanning. Also, add some glycerin to your tanning lotion to give the skin some extra moisture.

Remember to wear some sunscreen on top of the dark lotion. Most tanning lotions do not come with a sun protection factor. Those who end up using them without sunscreen will thus end up getting sunburn. A good trick to ensure that you are safe from the sun is to make a formula of equal parts of the lotion and sunscreen. This way you will never forget to put your sunscreen on.

After using the tanning lotion, you may be required to rinse off some of the excess. Do this using only pure water, since by using shower gel you might wash off the tan fully. If the packaging of the dark lotion does not ask you to rinse off, do not rinse off. Also, wait for some time for it to dry before putting on your clothes. Take your time and choose wisely.
