Helpful Tips For Using Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Getting a good tan is sometimes not easy. For example, it can be hard to choose between natural sunlight or a self tanning lotion. Sunless lotions provide a lot of benefits but it is a good idea to know how to apply them, so you can receive the best possible suntan. Here are some useful tips that you may wish to consider.

Don't expect miracles with these kinds of products. The human skin is a living, breathing, dynamic organ, and is constantly renewing itself. Nothing will last for months at a time. In fact, you may need to re-apply your suntan cream about once a week or so. This insures that your tan looks good all year long.

You can use your sunless products any time but may get the best overall results with morning applications. After you shower, make sure you are dry and then apply the lotion. This is much better than a morning application followed by an evening shower (which may wear away your new suntan). Also, applying it at night is not a good idea. You could rub off cream as you sleep and it might even stain bedding.

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.

You may be sensitive or allergic to some kinds of lotions. Look for products that are natural and do not contain a lot of chemicals. Also, try a small area of the body first. For instance, you might apply a small amount to the inside of the arm of perhaps on the shoulder. If your skin becomes irritated, you should not use the cream on the rest of your body.

It is best to exfoliate the skin before application. This will give you an even tan. The top products also sell exfoliant lotions with their suntan creams. If you use an exfoliant made for your lotion, you may have the best results. Moisturizing is also important and some lotions have moisturizing properties, but you also may want to use a good skin hydration product before application.

You may find some sunless tanning products on sale for very cheap prices. However, the most effective lotions are not usually the cheapest. Also, many cheap creams may have strong fumes that last for hours and they are more likely to cause streaking and orange colored skin. When you go with proven products like Sun Laboratories tanning lotions, you are assured of the best possible results.
