How To Get A Glowing Look With Self Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Using best at home tan sprays or lotions is one way in which you can glow your skin and change it to turn bronzy. To attain the beautiful glow, you should use self tanning products that are safe for application. The formulations should be made of substances, which will not harm your sensitive skin.

A fake tanner will produce the effect of a tanned skin but in real sense, it does not change the skin color. However, some tanners that contain dihydroxyacetone substance will tan the skin. Whether you are using a gel, spray, mousse, or cream, you need to get the right shade in order to attain the gorgeous look you want.

You have to wax or shave hair from the skin a day before applying the tanner. This will give enough time for the skin to heal and have less sensitivity to products you are using. Shaving opens up the pores and at times, it could be sensitive when you apply the products. In addition, before applying, you have to shower and exfoliate your skin in order to allow the formulations to spread and adhere to skin evenly.

Cleaning your skin also removes any oils and debris that could be on pores. Some parts of skin will require special attention especially those that are creased or have folds such as the hands, feet, knees, and elbows. The folded parts of the skin tend to accumulate more debris than other areas.

Besides, when you shave a day before, it ensures that you do not have to cut the hair on top of a freshly applied tan layer. This could exfoliate the amount of tanning lotion you have already applied. In the actual bronzing or tanning, you can start with the large areas of the body, which include the back, stomach, and limbs. After that, you can then focus on your knees, ankles, feet, and the neck.

Using circular motions helps in distributing the product evenly on your skin, and this is what creates the fluid natural glow. For the face and body, you may consider using separate tan products such as face tanner and body tanner because the transformation of the skin may occur in different rates. The facial skin is much lighter and sensitive and it will tend to absorb the product easily.

Alternatively, you may consider using one coat on your face for every two coats on your body in order to prevent the face from turning too dark. When applying the tanner product, you need to be careful of the creased skins such as the ankles and knees. With the folded skin, this is where more of the tanner is trapped as you apply and it could make the skin on those areas to become too dark or bronzed.

During the application, you need to towel away any excess product around those areas so that it does not settle and make the area appearance orange than other skin parts. Cleaning excess tan is essential for even and uniformed transformation of your body. When applying tan lotion with use of strays, they are tricky to apply and for the best results, you need to look for those with a 360-degree nozzle.
