Important Things You Would Want To Know When Applying A Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Using self tanners offers a safe alternative to tanning beds and sunbathing. Exposing skin to harmful radiation from UV light causes serious body skin problems such as cancer. Tan beds are also not so safe for your skin. However when you consider using a sunless tanning lotion, you keep away from these dangerous tan procedures. As much as people want to glow their skin and obtain a gorgeous look, they should make sure they do it safely.

Since people have different types of skin, some products may be sensitive to specific skin properties. A spot testing can help in determining the effects you will get from a tan. A patch test is essential because it allows you establish if the tanner will work pretty well on your skin. Also, make sure you choose a lotion, which gives a tint for extended period.

Some products can last for up to a week or so and will not fade easily. Tanner lotions are made using a compound known as dihydroxyacetone which gives a fake tan on skin. The compound reacts with amino acids in skin to give it the glowing look. Basking in sunlight exposes the skin to serious conditions like cancer.

The hair could trap some of the lotions and create orangey and streaked surfaces. To prevent those problems, you should make sure every procedure is done properly. You need to wash your body before you put on any substance in dermis. By washing, you remove the dirt, oils, dead skin, and salts on surface.

The skin may develop streaks and other ugly marks. It may also appear too orange. Some skin is just too hard to absorb tan products and it needs to be moisturized such as the hands and elbows. Although use of moisturizers is not advisable, there is need to ensure the dry and rough parts are moisturized.

For a lasting effect, ensure you choose the right tanner. Besides, since some ingredients could adversely react with dermis, there is needed to do some spot testing. A patch test helps you examine the suitability of a tan you are intending to use. You should not blindly apply your tan without testing it. You may not know the outcomes.

Allow the shaved areas to heal by shaving some days before you apply your tan. In choosing self tanning products, make sure you go for one that can offer a tint effect for long. Some products will only remain on skin for a few days and fade away. Others can stay on skin for a couple of days or even weeks before they fade out.

Such inconsistencies in tanning will eventually produce undesirable effects. Some skin such as the facial part may require a lighter shade when compared to other body parts. Alternatively, you may want to apply one layer of tan on facial skin against two layers of same tan on other body parts. This is because facial skin absorbs substances faster than the other parts.
