Proper Body Cleansing Is Required Before You Use A Sun Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


In any self tan application, one important thing you have to do is prepare the skin. With your Sun Sunless tanning lotion, you will have to think about how you can properly prepare the skin before applying the tanner. Sunless tanners require more preparation than even bronzers do, and this is something the users should emphasize on. One thing with do-it-yourself tan is that, you will get some flaws here and there but with proper guidelines, you can achieve at least a good tan.

Working the folded skin properly will ensure that it gets a uniform spread and color like the other parts. The folded skin may accumulate and trap wastes like the body oils, salts, dead skin, and dirt. When all these debris are present, they will prevent the penetration of tan and you might end up with imperfections like streaks and blotches.

The debris will form a layer, which acts as a barrier preventing the infiltration of tanner. Remember that, if the tan will not penetrate to the inside of skin and react with the protein in the epidermis, the skin will not glow. When you go to the shower, the tan will be washed away and you are left with patches of untanned areas.

Because these dry areas like the elbows, knees, and feet tend to resist the penetration of tan, you might also want to apply a little moisturizer or some light normal make up lotion. Generally, moisturizers need not be used when you want to tan your body. The moisturizers, typical lotions, and other skin products you use everyday might need to be skipped during the time you tan the body.

Some of these moisturizers may contain ingredients like oils that will remain trapped in pores thus blocking smooth infiltration of tan substance. However, there is one exception when it comes to use of these products before you tan the skin. In dry areas such as the knees and elbows, you can apply some light moisturizers or lotions in order to smoothen the skin and make it moist.

A moist skin will tend to absorb ingredients than a dry one and this is the concept that is applied when you are tanning the body. When you have dry skin, even the tanner product will not adhere well. But when you moisturize it, you make sure it is wet and able to absorb the tanner ingredients.

However, some tanners can fade fast than others depending on their formulations. You do not want to apply a tanner that comes out the following day. It is good to choose a product that will last for a long time before it comes out. Reading the reviews of tanner users will help you understand what you might obtain from a self tanner.

The exfoliation procedure will help in preparing the skin and especially the folded and creased areas. Using a skin brush or a scrub, you can remove those debris and oils trapped in the folds and pores thus leaving your skin fresh and ready for application of tanner. This will ensure you get a uniform shade from the tan.
