Steps To Take When Applying Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


One simple way to gain confidence is to ensure that you maintain a certain level of beauty. One way to attain this beauty is ensuring that you have the right tone of skin. The skin color can give you a drastic change. You can be able to get skin tone that you desire by opting to use a self tanning lotion. The application procedure is what mainly determines whether you will get the tan that you desire.

It is possible to tan your skin using do-it-yourself procedures but you need to follow every little detail in applying a tanner. Tan lotions are products used to help an individual achieve a golden brown skin tone. During the earlier days people used to bask under the sun so as to achieve this tan.

It is advisable you shave the hair at least a day or two prior to the tanning date. This will help you avoid skin irritation since the skin tends to be sensitive after you shave. In shaving a day before, you will allow the sensitivity to subside. Once you do this, the next step is to exfoliate the skin.

The tanner lotions usually function by changing the body skin tone but do not interfere with its structure. The tanning effect is usually not permanent and lasts for about a couple of days or weeks before it fades out. The main advantage of opting for this method of tanning is that you are able to do a tan at the comfort of your own home.

You can be able to do this on your own or have a friend assist you in the process. The only thing you need to do in order to achieve a perfect tan is to follow correctly the application procedure. There are various techniques and tools you can use, but all procedures revolve around one basic factor, which is, cleansing the skin before applying a tanner.

The skin needs to be clean and free of obstacles that may hinder the proper penetration and spreading of tanner lotions. This aspect involves several processes that include shaving, waxing, showering, and moisturizing. It is advisable that you make your skin free of body hair before application of a self tan lotion.

Gloves will avoid your hands turning yellow or orange while offering a smooth spread of tan. You can also opt to cover the surfaces where you plan to carry out the tan such as the floor of bathrooms to avert staining the tiles. Start with your arms and torso before going to other hard to reach areas of your body. Put more emphasis on the rough and folded areas of the body.

On the issue of taking a shower and exfoliating skin, it is essential that you use a non-oil based scrub to remove dead skin and debris. The oils and dead skin cells tend to block the pores thus barring the penetration of tanner substance on skin. Oil based scrubs also tend to leave oil residues on the body that also block the pores. With these few tips and others, you can be able to get a perfect tint on skin that is free from streaks or spots.
