How To Get A Glowing Tan With Self Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


When used properly, sunless tanning products, which contain safe formulations, can help you transform the look and feel of your skin giving you the complexion you deserve. Use of methods like tanning in the sun or under the tan beds has health complications, which could be reduced by using sunless tan products. With the self tanning products, some are designed in such a way they give the impression of a tanned skin.

A fake tanner will produce the effect of a tanned skin but in real sense, it does not change the skin color. However, some tanners that contain dihydroxyacetone substance will tan the skin. Whether you are using a gel, spray, mousse, or cream, you need to get the right shade in order to attain the gorgeous look you want.

You have to wax or shave hair from the skin a day before applying the tanner. This will give enough time for the skin to heal and have less sensitivity to products you are using. Shaving opens up the pores and at times, it could be sensitive when you apply the products. In addition, before applying, you have to shower and exfoliate your skin in order to allow the formulations to spread and adhere to skin evenly.

For the face, you can moisturize your hairline as well to allow the product to adhere well to your skin. Before you apply the tan product on your legs and other body areas covered with hair, you have to shave a day before. This ensures that the skin does not become too sensitive and reactive to the formulation of the product.

Although most people can tolerate the sunless tan creams and sprays containing DHA, some people may have sensitive skin that is allergic. The preservatives and fragrances used in those products could cause the skin to irritate or react. When applying the lotions to the legs, torso, and the arms, you can use circular motions to help in preventing a streaky look.

Using circular motions helps in distributing the product evenly on your skin, and this is what creates the fluid natural glow. For the face and body, you may consider using separate tan products such as face tanner and body tanner because the transformation of the skin may occur in different rates. The facial skin is much lighter and sensitive and it will tend to absorb the product easily.

When using traditional creams, they offer most moisturizing option. But again, you need to ensure that you take great care to avoid missing any spots because these creams tend to be non-tinted. You might also use tinted gels that are easy to use but you have to apply them quickly before they dry or cure.

The spot test can show you how you expect to change the appearance of your body skin. If the formulation is sensitive to the skin, you are able to know through the spot testing. The facial skin is more sensitive than other parts and you can do the spot testing as it will give the best results in case of any kind of negative reaction with the product formulation.
