Many people today don't have the money to spend going to the spa every few weeks. You have to face it; they are very expensive although they do make one feel truly amazing afterwards. One can apply a self tanner at home and it can be just as fun, you can give yourself a full beauty regime at the same time.

Nearly all of these products tend to have a strong smell to them. This is because there are two chemical used. Companies have tried to mask the smell by adding oils, but generally it does not eliminate all together. With the heat of the body and the product this makes the smell more noticeable as time goes by.

One of the first sprays that came on the market was in 1984. It was called Terracotta, and was rather expensive. Many still report that it is one of the best spray tanning products on the market. It had a very quick drying time and one could be dressed within 10 minutes after application. The color was of a natural brown and no orange was reported. The tan went a deeper color as the hours went by. The smell was not too bad and after the first shower the smell nearly disappeared. The only problem was that it was truly expensive and not many could afford it.

Another product on the market is a gradual tanner. This is much more affordable for many. The color of the tan will gradually grow darker over a period of a few days. Always exfoliate and apply a thin layer of moisturizer beforehand. This one tends to leave a little bit of a shimmer, which is a great way of showing off your legs. It does tend to be a bit runny, but that can be overlooked as the price is good.

The face is one of the areas that tend to be overlooked the most. If not applied correctly one could land up looking really old. There is a specific bronze gel especially for the face. It is used to enhance the color and should be dabbed on after a moisturizer but before any powders. It will leave your skin with a warm color and will add a little shimmer as well.

It you have a very pale complexion, using a gradual tanner, with a natural glow is for you. Normally others would leave streaks. This one is used after your shower or bath daily, and will gradually darken depending on how long you continue to apply it. It also tends to smell but most of them do anyway.

If you want to do the full body, try using a milk or gel. Their odor is less pungent and hydrates at the same time. It does not leave an orange color and it tends to absorb easily into the skin. There is even a little bit of a shimmer that is left behind when applied.

One of the most highly rated tanners on the market today is the Clarins Liquid Bronzer. It is one of the easiest to use and the smell is not too strong. Many people have said that this product is great to use even if you have an oily skin type.
