A Few Guidelines On How To Apply A Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


People are different when it comes to their skin tone and the kinds of tanners that would be best for them. Even so, once you have your product, the rules of applying are the same. The most basic step would be ascertaining that your skin is sparkling clean. Begin by taking a warm shower using soap. It would also be an added advantage for you to use a body scrub and a cleanser just to ensure that you get rid of all the rough spots and dead skin. Any hair on the legs must also be shaved before applying a sunless tanning lotion.

For the best results, you ought to use cleansers, scrub and soap that are sugar and salt free. Such components are good for the skin, though they contain oils that may block the poles making it impossible for you to achieve that smooth tan. Ensure that you use products that would not clog your poles because the tanner needs to be absorbed evenly into the skin.

Once you are clean and dry, the next step would be applying a moisturizer. Invest in quality moisturizers in order to get the finest results possible. During your application, see to it that you pay special attention to the elbows and knees. These areas have tougher skin that also tends to dry quickly. It would be a splendid idea to apply an extra coat of moisturizer on these areas.

When applying your tanner, do not use your bare hands. Always wear gloves to avoid staining your palms. Then again, you must see to it that the gloves you use do not have power. What you must note is that any foreign impurity or element could cause a reaction leading to orange colored demarcations.

Then again, a tanner needs to be applied from the bottom up and not vice versa. Begin with the feet and finish with the arms. When applying the lotion, use circular motions to ensure that it is evenly spread. It is also advisable that you use small amounts at every go in order to avoid getting patches that are more tanned than others.

Most people will be very careful when dealing with the face. This delicate area would need a lot of attention because of the many features such as the eyes, the nose and the mouth. Instead of using dots, spread your product just like you would when applying a moisturizer. Areas around the jawline, temples and hairline should be feathered to ascertain that you do not end up looking like you are wearing a mask.

The formulation of different tanners is different, especially when considering the time it takes for a tanner to react fully. There are products that dry out and give a good tan within a few minutes. On the other hand, there are those that would need a little more patience. Take the time to read the instructions on your product in order to get the needful information.

One of the best kept secrets of ascertaining that your tan retains that perfect look is ensuring that you do not go to the gym for at least 12 hours. Avoid sweaty activities and do not shower before 8 hours have lapsed. This would ascertain that the product has reacted fully before cleaning it off.
