A Few Guidelines On How To Apply A Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Regardless of your skin tone and the type of tanner that is best for you, the road to achieving that smooth, flawless glow is the same. The key thing is to always see to it that your skin is clean before you make an application. That said, before you use your tanner, take a shower with warm water and soap. You may also want to use a body scrub and cleanser to get rid dead skin and rough spots. In case you have hair on your legs, shave them before applying your sunless tanning lotion.

For the best results, you ought to use cleansers, scrub and soap that are sugar and salt free. Such components are good for the skin, though they contain oils that may block the poles making it impossible for you to achieve that smooth tan. Ensure that you use products that would not clog your poles because the tanner needs to be absorbed evenly into the skin.

A moisturizer should then be applied on the clean dry skin. Ascertain that you use a quality moisturizer in order to avoid demarcations caused by dryness. Areas such as the knees and ankles should be applied double coats of moisturizer because they tend to be tougher and dry quickly.

When applying your tanner, do not use your bare hands. Always wear gloves to avoid staining your palms. Then again, you must see to it that the gloves you use do not have power. What you must note is that any foreign impurity or element could cause a reaction leading to orange colored demarcations.

The right way to apply a tanner is from the bottom up. You need to start with the feet and end with the arms. During the application, use regular circular motions to ensure that your lotion is well spread on every area of your body. Always remember that smearing too much lotion on one area could make create a patch that is more tanned than other areas.

Dealing with the face can be quite challenging because of the numerous features like the nose, eyes and mouth. If you have never used a tanner before, using dots to spread the product could pose a great challenge. Simply spread the tanner on your palm and spread it out evenly just like you would when using a moisturizer. Take your time to feather out the temples, hairline and jawline carefully before winding up.

It remains imperative for you to read the instructions on your product. Some formulas dry out and react fully within a maximum of ten minutes. Then again, there are those that require more patience. Get to know the proper way of using a product with the aim of ascertaining that you do not make any careless blunders.

For you to be assured of a proper tan, it makes sense to take a shower only after 8 hours have lapsed. You may also want to avoid sweaty activities such as a workout at the gym for at least 12 hours. Within this period, you can be certain that the product has reacted fully and you can safely clean it off.
