Instructions To Use When Putting Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


People would do anything to glow their skin including basking under sun and using tan beds but these methods are not safe at all. Fortunately, many tanner products have been introduced in the market than can help tan your skin in a safe manner. A self tanning lotion, when applied correctly will give a tan like that you would get from tab beds or sun, but this time in a safe way.

It is necessary to read the instruction manual given by the manufacturer. There are some steps that you can follow to ensure the application process turns out a success. The first step is to shave and remove the thick hair on the areas you plan to tan. If you have soft hair, it is not necessary you shave.

It is advisable you shave the hair at least a day or two prior to the tanning date. This will help you avoid skin irritation since the skin tends to be sensitive after you shave. In shaving a day before, you will allow the sensitivity to subside. Once you do this, the next step is to exfoliate the skin.

The next step is to make a reasonable budget. In order to do this, it is advisable that you perform enough research both on physical stores as well as online stores. This will give you a clue on price range of the products. When you find out the range of prices, you should now make a decision on the type of product to use.

It might be hard for a tan to penetrate properly on dry skin. You should put more focus on the rough areas of skin. These include areas like the knees and the elbow. Try to moisturize your skin if it is very dry to make it a little bit soft. The tan will adhere quickly on soft skin. Use body oil to try to trap the moisture.

Let your body dry off before you apply the tanner lotions. It will make it much easier to spread the tanner when it is a little bit moist but not wet. Before application of a tanner lotion, make sure you have latex gloves or loofahs to protect the palms from staining. The gloves used in by hairdressers can work well when you apply self tanner product.

Gloves will avoid your hands turning yellow or orange while offering a smooth spread of tan. You can also opt to cover the surfaces where you plan to carry out the tan such as the floor of bathrooms to avert staining the tiles. Start with your arms and torso before going to other hard to reach areas of your body. Put more emphasis on the rough and folded areas of the body.

On the issue of taking a shower and exfoliating skin, it is essential that you use a non-oil based scrub to remove dead skin and debris. The oils and dead skin cells tend to block the pores thus barring the penetration of tanner substance on skin. Oil based scrubs also tend to leave oil residues on the body that also block the pores. With these few tips and others, you can be able to get a perfect tint on skin that is free from streaks or spots.
