How For Preparing One's Skin Before Application Of A Sun Self Tanning Solution

By Haywood Hunter


If looking for a way to have a very nice looking tan this summer without exposing the skin to the damage that can be caused by the UV rays, a Sun Self Tanning product may be the best choice. While Sun Self Tanning creates lotions and spray tans that use some of the best products on the market, it is important that an individual prepare the skin before using the kit. This will often make the difference between a natural looking tan and a streaky mess.

Do not wax to remove hair the same day Sun Self Tanning is used. The products in hair removal wax leave a coating on the skin that will prevent the tan from developing properly. If a person has already waxed, he or she should wait a minimum of 24 hours after using the wax before applying the solution for best results.

Exfoliation of each area where the Sun Self Tanning product is to be applied. If the product is applied to dead skin cells, when they slough off, the result will be an uneven tan. Use caution in choosing exfoliation products. Salt or sugar scrubs contain oils that remain on the skin. These oils will keep the skin from absorbing the tan. Proper exfoliation before application ensures the tan is long lasting.

Before applying Sun Self Tanning agents one should shower using warm water and mild soap. The water should be set to a temperature that is neither too hot or too cold. Water that is too hot can create more dead skin cells. Cold water can close the pores and stop absorption of the product. The individual should not use a moisturizing body wash but a mild soap.

Shave legs before applying any Sun Self Tanning agent. Although one should not wax, any unwanted hair will need to be removed. The razor also helps to exfoliate. Applying product over hair can cause blotches. Men using Sun Self Tanning products will find a better result by shaving the chest and arms as well before applying.

It is important to ensure the body is completely dry before applying the Sun Self Tanning solution. Moisture can cause the product to slide off one's skin before it changes the color. While knees and elbows tend to over absorb the product and should be protected with a small amount of moisturizing lotion, the rest of the body should be dry. This will give the best results with the kit to tan the skin.

When it is time to apply the Sun Self Tanning solution to the body, wear disposable gloves. This prevents the product from absorbing too much on the hands due to the longer time it is in contact. Once the product has been applied to the rest of the body, remove the gloves and apply the product evenly to the hands.

Sun Self Tanning products can provide a natural looking tan when applied properly. Be sure to read and follow any label directions. This will ensure you get the best results from the product.
