Tips For Using Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


If you would like to have a natural looking tan without the sun, there are many excellent products on the market today. If you have little experience with sunless tanning, it can be hard to choose the best lotions and get the kind of results that you really need. These self tanning lotion tips are here to help you.

A sunless suntan will not last as long as a tan from the sun (or a sun lamp). However, it is much safer than being exposed to ultraviolet rays, and you will not get sunburn. Sunless products eventually wear off because the skin is in the process of constantly renewing itself (by shedding skin cells and replacing them). However, a good sunless tan should last a week.

Many people get the best results with their suntan products when they use them in the morning. When you apply right before going to bed, there is a good chance that you will rub off some of the lotion as you sleep at night. You may stain your bedding too. Also, it is best to apply after showering in the morning. If you shower in the evening (after AM application) you might rub away some of the tan as you scrub your body.

Many people fail to realize that sunless products may emit strong odors. However, some are much milder and more pleasant than others. If you read online reviews, look for products that have pleasant odors that do not last for an extended period of time. This will make the process of application more pleasurable.

You can swim on a regular basis and still enjoy a beautiful sunless tan. However, you should buy lotions that are made for people that spend a lot of time in water. Remember also, swimming will wear off a tan rather quickly, so you might need to re-apply as often as every two or three days, in some cases.

You may be sensitive or allergic to some kinds of lotions. Look for products that are natural and do not contain a lot of chemicals. Also, try a small area of the body first. For instance, you might apply a small amount to the inside of the arm of perhaps on the shoulder. If your skin becomes irritated, you should not use the cream on the rest of your body.

Skin exfoliation is usually recommended before applying self suntan lotions. This is the best way to get a tan that is even all over. You may exfoliate with shower sponges or wash cloths. Also, top companies also make exfoliant products to be used with their lotions, and this may be the best choice. Remember also to choose a lotion that contains natural skin moisturizers, to keep skin soft.

You may find some sunless tanning products on sale for very cheap prices. However, the most effective lotions are not usually the cheapest. Also, many cheap creams may have strong fumes that last for hours and they are more likely to cause streaking and orange colored skin. When you go with proven products like Sun Laboratories tanning lotions, you are assured of the best possible results.
