Tips On How To Apply Sunless Tanning Lotion
Most women love the idea of being able to glow with a
gorgeous tan without harming their skin with the sun or
tanning beds. That is why sunless tanning lotions are so
hot right now. The problem is that some of them take a
miracle to apply evenly and effectively. Today’s sunless
tanners are much easier to get right then the lotions
five years ago. Learning how to apply sunless tanning
lotion takes practice. Use these tips and you will be on
your way to applying sunless tanning lotion perfectly.
When choosing your sunless tanning lotion, try to find a
brand that offers gradual tanning. If the label says
gradual tanning, then the lotion is easy to apply
correctly. These gradual lotions bronze your skin
lightly each time you apply them. They can be used
everyday in place of your normal lotions. Because they
only tint your skin, you don’t have to apply them
perfectly in order to get natural look results.
To get the desired look, you pretty much rub it all over
your body and wait for it to dry. Don’t worry if you
think the results will be too light. You will definitely
be able to tell the difference. If you want a darker tan
after the first application, just wait until the next
day and repeat the process. Each application will last
about four days, if you shower daily. For a streak-free
tan, this is the way to go for sure.
It is best to apply self tanner on a clean body. This
allows the sunless tanning lotion to soak into your skin
nicely. You should always wait about ten minutes after
the application before getting dressed. If you are
worried about ruining clothing, then pick a time you can
frolic around nude in your house. Before bed is also a
good time, because you won’t come in contact with
anything but the sheets.
It is best to exfoliate before self-tanning, which you
can do in the shower before application. Simply use a
loofah sponge or a “puff” and scrub your body as usual.
This will keep the sunless tanning lotion’s color from
sticking to your dry areas. Concentrate on knees and
elbows.
Do not shower for twelve hours after application. Do not
do the dishes or get wet for twelve hours as well. Of
course you can wash your hands, but be careful about
getting too much water of your forearms. This can cause
streaking.
For a foolproof hand tan, apply the sunless tanning
lotion to your body. Then, to avoid turning your palms
orange, wash your hands. After washing your hands well,
squeeze a small amount of sunless tanning lotion on a
tissue and rub it on the back of your hands and fingers.
This will allow only the backs of your hands to get the
tan.
Use these tips when you want to apply sunless tanning
lotion. The more you do it, the better you will get, so
keep trying. Be persistent and you will find that
sunless tanning has its benefits!
