Helpful 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.

A sunless suntan will not last as long as a tan from the sun (or a sun lamp). However, it is much safer than being exposed to ultraviolet rays, and you will not get sunburn. Sunless products eventually wear off because the skin is in the process of constantly renewing itself (by shedding skin cells and replacing them). However, a good sunless tan should last a week.

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.

Maybe you enjoy swimming and you might have your own pool. Make sure that you buy creams that are waterproof. However, even water resistant products may wear off quickly. If you swim every day you may need to re-apply more times than you think. In fact, you might have to re-apply every two or three days, to keep your tan looking good.

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.

You may find some sunless tanning products on sale for very cheap prices. However, the most effective lotions are not usually the cheapest. Also, many cheap creams may have strong fumes that last for hours and they are more likely to cause streaking and orange colored skin. When you go with proven products like Sun Laboratories tanning lotions, you are assured of the best possible results.
