How To Apply Sunless Tanning Lotion
Avoid The Orange Streaks: Learn How To Apply Sunless Tanning Lotion Correctly
For all your afraid pale people out there who haven't
yet tried sunless tanning because they weren't sure of
how to apply sunless tanning lotion properly, you could
potentially be risking some ugly after-effects. Here's a
few tips on how to apply sunless tanning lotion
properly, and as accident free as possible.
Budget Your Time
The most important thing to keep in mind whether you are
learning how to apply sunless tanning lotion for the
first time or you are a nicely-browned, seasoned tanning
veteran, is that it takes anywhere from an hour and a
half to two hours to complete the application process
from start to finish. Rushing the process could cost you
your favorite outfit, or even worse you could get stuck
with bright orange or yellow skin for 3 to 5 days.
Scrub Down
The first thing you want to do when preparing to apply
sunless tanning lotion is to take a long, hot shower or
bath. Use a bath sponge or wash cloth to gently scrub
your skin, removing the dead skin cells, leaving it even
and smooth. Pay a little closer attention to the rougher
parts of the body, like the shins, heels, elbows, and
knees. After bathing, it is recommended that you apply a
small amount of body lotion, to smooth the skin and ease
the sunless tanning process. Apply a slightly larger
amount of lotion to areas with thicker skin that you
don't want to come out darker than the rest of your tan,
such as knees and elbows.
Work Your Way Down
If you are learning how to apply sunless tanning lotion
for the first time or if you have done it before and you
are just not entirely comfortable with the process yet,
it is best to work your way up from the bottom. Start
out applying your sunless tanner to one area of your
body at a time, starting out by applying the lotion to
your feet and legs (one leg at a time, of course). You
can apply a little less tanner to your hands and feet,
but be careful not to let it stain the palms of your
hands or the soles of your feet. Circular strokes
usually get better results than vigorous rubbing of the
skin.
Pull Up A Chair
To avoid irregular drying or streaking, it's not
generally a good idea to do much while your sunless
tanner is drying. Attempting to get dressed would not
only ruin your street clothes, but it would ruin your
brand new tan as well, so it's best to look at a
magazine, watch television, or something equally
physically uninvolved during the first hour after
application. Try not to rub on the skin, sweat, or wear
clothes that excessively rub against the skin for at
least 3 hours after completing the application.
Just a tip:
Rinse your hands often as you apply the sunless tanner
to your body, just to make sure you're not left with
tell-tale orange palms and a conspicuously perfect tan.
It's also a good idea to have a nail brush handy should
you happen to let sunless tanner seep under your nails.
