Using Your Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful tanned skin is very popular and makes you look younger and healthier. However, with all the problems associated with ultraviolet rays, many people are turning to self tanning lotion products to get a safe and natural tan. Here are some tips for getting the most from your lotions, so you can look your best.

The first thing to consider is the type of suntan product for your needs. Some are made for people with dark colored skin while others work best for those with fair complexions. Choose the right product for your skin type if you want the best possible results.

Before application, now is the time to shave legs and other body parts. This will insure that your tan is even. That is an important thing to remember if you are a man that plans to wax his chest. It may be best to wait a few hours after shaving and use a quality moisturizing product on the skin, first.

Exfoliation is an important part of the preparation process. You can invest in exfoliation products but all you really need to do is take a shower and rub the skin well with a cloth or bath sponge. This will usually remove most of the dead skin cells from the epidermis. If you do not exfoliate, the cream may remove dead skin cells and this will affect the quality of your suntan.

You should not apply suntan cream as soon as you get out of the shower. Give your skin enough time to dry completely. This will make the products absorb better. Most people use some type of protection for the palms of the hands. Tanning is not usually advised for your palms because they may turn yellow or orange. To prevent this from happening you can wash the hands frequently or use some rubber gloves. Special tanning mitts are also available.

Start the application process in one body area. For instance, you might begin with the feet, then legs, hips, and so on. This insures that you apply the cream in an even manner. Remember to go lightly on knees and elbows. They may absorb the lotion easier and become much darker, so you may need less cream. Also, be certain that your product can be used on the face.

Like painting a car, it is usually best to apply the solution in thin layers. Make sure to give it plenty of time to work and let it sit overnight. Then you can tell if you should use additional applications or not. If you have never used these products before, consider applying lotion on a small test area of your skin, beforehand. This can keep you making a major mistake.

Once you are finished, avoid lying down or putting on clothing for about half an hour or so. That will keep your cream from rubbing off. Wait a day before you attempt to shower or enter the water. Also, remember to give the lotion plenty of time to work, and use top quality products like one from Sun Laboratories.
