Ways To Get A Brilliant Glow With Self Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


If you want to look your best, you need to have skin that glows with health. A tan is the perfect way to achieve this. Besides, tanned skin shows of clothes in bright colors or white and it can even have a slimming effect. Self tanning lotions can help you achieve stunning skin without the need for time in the sun.

Fake tans are one of the most useful beauty tricks imaginable. Cultivating a tan the old-fashioned way, by spending time in the sun, is wonderful if you're on a beach holiday but it takes time if you don't want to end up looking like a lobster. You need to tan a little bit at a time in gradually work up to the color you want. A fake tan only takes a night to achieve and you can get that glow without the risk of premature ageing or skin cancer.

One risk of fake tans is that your skin may react badly to the product. However, it's easy to avoid this risk. Simply apply a bit of product in an inconspicuous spot and see how your skin reacts. Even if you've used the product before, it's wise to do a patch test every time before you're going to apply a fake tan.

Most products for fake tans work better on smooth, even skin. Therefore, do your hair removal a day in advance. This will give your skin time to recover and be less sensitive. Exfoliate too, especially in areas such as your elbows where dead skin cells may gather. Exfoliation will prevent dark, uneven patches. Keep your skin well moisturized as well.

It's best to apply the product at night. This way, you don't have to worry too much about staining your good work clothes or having to interrupt your routine. Use gloves when applying the product, so you won't end up with stained, orange palms. Make sure that your skin is free from any perfume, deodorant or other products because these can affect the outcome and leave you with an uneven tan.

Once you've applied the tanning product according to the instructions on the packaging, you need to allow ample time for the tan to develop. Stay away from tight-fitting clothing that may rub off the product. Keep your skin dry for six to eight hours at least. If you want to speed up the process a little, a hair dryer on a cool setting can do wonders.

If the outcome isn't exactly what you wanted, there is an easy way to reverse the process. All you need to do is to soak in a warm bath for a while. Wait about half an hour an then use an exfoliating mitt or scrub to remove all traces of the product.

Self tanning products are available over the counter in most supermarkets. However, you may be better off buying quality products from salons. It's always good to read as many reviews as possible too so that you can make the most informed choice before you buy.
