Important Tips For Using Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


If you would like to have a natural looking tan without the sun, there are many excellent products on the market today. If you have little experience with sunless tanning, it can be hard to choose the best lotions and get the kind of results that you really need. These self tanning lotion tips are here to help you.

Some people buy sunless suntan products and expect them to work perfectly and last for weeks at a time. The truth is, even the best lotions work well for about a week. Your body is constantly shedding and creating new skin cells and this will affect your sunless tan. You should re-apply your cream when you notice it wearing off.

Many people get the best results with their suntan products when they use them in the morning. When you apply right before going to bed, there is a good chance that you will rub off some of the lotion as you sleep at night. You may stain your bedding too. Also, it is best to apply after showering in the morning. If you shower in the evening (after AM application) you might rub away some of the tan as you scrub your body.

Choose something with a pleasant odor. Most sunless suntan products have a noticeable odor. However, some are more pleasant than others. Check online reviews to see what kind of results many people are receiving and if the odor is tolerable or not. After all, you might want to use this product on a regular basis.

If you plan to go swimming, look for products that are resistant to water. Yet, even the best of lotions must be re-applied frequently when you spend a great deal of time in the pool. For example, instead of applying once a week, you may need to re-use every three days or so. This will keep your tan from getting too light.

Some sunless suntan products may contain harsh chemicals and they can cause irritation to those with sensitive skin. To avoid this, always read labels and look for products that contain all natural ingredients. It is also a good idea to check for sensitivity by placing a small bit of cream on the arm or stomach. This will let you know if you skin is sensitive or not.

It is best to exfoliate the skin before application. This will give you an even tan. The top products also sell exfoliant lotions with their suntan creams. If you use an exfoliant made for your lotion, you may have the best results. Moisturizing is also important and some lotions have moisturizing properties, but you also may want to use a good skin hydration product before application.

The cheapest self tanning products may not be the best for your skin. You will save money with cheap lotions but they may not work to your satisfaction. For instance, some products have toxic odors and may turn your skin orange. Top rated products, like the ones that Sun Laboratories sells, are not the cheapest but you are likely to get very good results.
