What You Have To Do Before And After Applying Your Favorite Suntan Lotion

By Haywodo Hunter


Indoor tanning allows you to sport a lovely and healthy glow that makes you look like you just spent several minutes baking under the sun. This is especially true if the fake suntan lotion used is the best of the bunch. Other than opting for one of the best-selling UV-free tanners on the market, it's very important to carry out certain things before and after its application.

Prior to smoothing on the product all over your body, make sure that your skin is really clean. The tanning ingredient called DHA can perform its role better if there are no dirt and grease that keep it from being absorbed. Before you grab that bottle of your preferred self tanner and apply the contents, make sure that you hit the shower first and thoroughly clean your skin.

Get rid of unwanted dead cells with the use of a loofah or scrub. Exfoliating is best done while you are having your shower. In case you have the money to spare for an exfoliating body gel, purchase a bottle of this product. It is commonly made by an indoor tanner manufacturer. Because it is used before tanning indoors, you can be sure that it won't leave an oily residue.

Shave the skin most especially right after taking a shower when those strands are still soft. It's not unlikely for you to end up with a mottled effect if there are unwanted hairs around. That's because the lotion may collect where the hair strands are, causing these areas to appear darker than the rest. If you prefer waxing, make sure that it is done a day ahead.

Applying your daily hand and body moisturizer on the elbows, knees and other very dry areas has to be done beforehand. Doing so helps keep these areas from absorbing more DHA, saving them from sporting deeper browns than the rest of the body. If you don't have the barrier cream or you're not a fan of using latex gloves, apply the moisturizer on your fingernails too.

After you are done spreading the product all over, ensure that it remains on your skin for the next 6 to 8 hours. Naturally, this means that you have to steer clear of taking a shower just to remove that fishy smell that DHA tends to emit while it is doing its job. It's also important to avoid engaging in any physical activity that can cause you to sweat profusely.

Regularly apply your favorite hand and body moisturizer the moment your desired color shows up. Doing this helps in keeping the skin moisturized, thereby causing the natural process of exfoliation to slow down. By preventing it from happening too soon, the fake suntan generated by the tanning product of your choice may be enjoyed anywhere from 5 to 7 long days.

The moment you notice that the color has slightly faded, exfoliate the next time you hit the shower. This gets rid of excess dead skin cells that tend to make the fake suntan look uneven. It's a good idea to polish the skin once more especially if you are planning on reapplying the indoor tanner again in order to maintain your gorgeous skin tone.
