Helpful Tips For Using Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Getting a natural tan without using the sun is possible nowadays. There are many fine products on the market that can give you a tan overnight or in just a few hours time. However, if you are new to self tanning lotion there are some things that you should be aware of. Here is information to help you get the kind of tan that will make your friends envious.

Some people buy sunless suntan products and expect them to work perfectly and last for weeks at a time. The truth is, even the best lotions work well for about a week. Your body is constantly shedding and creating new skin cells and this will affect your sunless tan. You should re-apply your cream when you notice it wearing off.

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.

You can swim on a regular basis and still enjoy a beautiful sunless tan. However, you should buy lotions that are made for people that spend a lot of time in water. Remember also, swimming will wear off a tan rather quickly, so you might need to re-apply as often as every two or three days, in some cases.

When it comes to sunless lotions, natural products are less likely to irritate the skin. They do not contain harmful ingredients, but even natural products may cause irritation to some people. To be sure, apply a tiny amount of cream in a place that will not be seen. It could be on the shoulder or a small place on the arm. It it irritates you, consider another product.

Most people choose to exfoliate before they apply sunless suntan lotions. If not, your tan may not last very long. Exfoliation can be done with wash cloths or you can use exfoliating cream. In fact, some of the best companies also sell exfoliating creams that are made to be used with their suntan lotions. Keeping skin hydrated is important too, so choose a cream that also contains moisturizers.

When you shop for a self tanning product do not let price be the main factor. You might save a lot of money with some lotions, but they may have a strong toxic odor. Also, some lotions may turn the skin orange and easily develop streaks in your tan. High quality products like the ones from Sun Laboratories may not be the cheapest, but you can be assured of excellent results.
