Sunless Tanning Lotions - How to Guide
With the summer months quickly coming into view, now might be a good time to get out the sunless tanning lotions! Tanners help give you a base suntan by bringing melanin to the surface of the skin faster. Melanin is what makes your skin look brown. These lotions are a true marvel that can help promote an early glow! They also add youthfulness back to the skin just by creating a suntanned look.
There are many shades available, from light to dark and in between. There are tanners specifically designed to apply on your face and there are gradual tanners that build a tan over time. These products are much safer than going out in the sun, and should be part of any anti aging formula. To slow down the signs of aging, use tanners more often and go out into the sun less often.
Getting an early tan can make you look like you've had a trip to the Bahama's. Jump start your summer suntan by using tanning products that promote a tan without the sun!
Here are some quick tips on how to apply your sunless tanning lotions to leave your skin brown and beautiful! How to Apply Sunless Tanning LotionsStep 1: Take it Off - Before you use tanning products, its good to exfoliate your skin several times with a loopha skin buff. These are very inexpensive and easy to use. It doesn't take long to do this and can make a big difference. You don't want to apply a great tan to your body if you have excess dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Skin brushing is also a great way to remove dead skin cells. It also improves and cleans the lymphatic system, so you get extra benefits from doing them! Tanners go on much more smoothly on exfoliated skin. If your skin is naturally dry, this becomes especially important. If you don't want to use a loopha, you can use products like Olay Regenerist Thermal Skin Polisher Step 2: Be Calm - Don’t rush into thinking you need really dark skin to begin with. You will only end up with streaks and missed spots. Use products that are top rated like L'Oreal Sublime Self Tanning Lotion Step 3: Check your lighting - Apply sunless tanners in a well lit room. That way you won’t miss any spots or create them. What looks good in a shadowy light may look uneven in the light of day. Step 4: Use Lotions! - Dilute self tanning products with moisturizers to perfect notoriously tricky areas including hands, feet and ankles. Of course, I love Fruit of the Earth, Vitamin E Lotion Step 5: Dihydroxyacetone is the active ingredient in every sunless tanning product and can make skin dry and parched over time. Therefore it becomes vital that you moisturize daily if you use a tan extender or a 'gradual tan' product on a daily basis. To avoid problems, make sure you give your skin a break every 3 to 4 days. Don't use sunless tanning lotions any longer than a week if your skin is naturally dry. To avoid streaking problems, I suggest using lotions before applications of most tanners. This gives the tanners a moisturized surface to blend and give you a streak free application. Didn't find what you were looking for? Use this handy tool to find it fast!
