All About A Sunless Tanning Lotion



By Haywood Hunter


Following the trend of bronzed, glowing skin has been made easy with the different formulas of sunless tanning lotion available on the market. They can give you the look without exposing you to the cancer-causing rays emitted by the sun. Here are some guidelines on how to make your experience with choosing and using a sunless tanning lotion more pleasant:

Fair complexions are difficult to find a true match for, as the sunless tanning lotion can oxidize on fair skin creating an orange tint. In this case, choose the lightest shade and build it up for a darker finish. Always choose a sunless tanning lotion that is cruelty-free. Besides the obvious reasons, they work best because they are free of proteins that cause the oxidation and give the product a very unpleasant smell.

Shave or wax several hours before applying the sunless tanning lotion, and take a warm shower to exfoliate the skin on the areas where product will be applied using a soft loofah or washcloth. This process will create a smooth surface for the sunless tanning lotion to glide on, which will help decrease streak lines and make the color look truer. Make sure your skin is completely dry before you apply any product.

Sunless tanning lotion can be applied anywhere on your body, avoiding the area of the genitals. If you are going to apply a sunless tanning lotion on your face, make sure you drag it down to your neck and your chest area if they are going to be exposed. Before applying the product onto your arms and legs, rub some regular body lotion onto your elbows, knees, and feet. This will prevent the sunless tanning lotion from settling into fine lines and looking unrealistic.

Wearing surgical gloves can prevent your hands from becoming stained for days. Gloves are very inexpensive in pharmacies and grocery stores. Just to be sure, wash your hands regularly throughout the process of applying your sunless tanning lotion.

For an even application, rub a thin coat of the sunless tanning lotion all over your skin and let it dry for several minutes. Keep in mind that the color of a sunless tanning lotion does not start developing until 3-6 hours later. This means that you should not try to add more layers if you do not see your desired skin tone within minutes.

If you are new to sunless tanning, definitely choose a sunless tanning lotion over a spray. A sunless tanning lotion is easier to work with and will help you avoid mistakes. It also helps if you chose something with a built in pigment so you can see the areas where you have already applied it.

Avoid ruining your clothes by allowing enough time for the sunless tanning lotion to dry. If the instructions say that the skin will absorb it for five minutes, put on your clothes after ten. It helps if they are dark and loose-fitting, so the sunless tanning lotion does not rub off onto them. If you follow the above guidelines, you should be able to enjoy the sun-kissed look, hassle-free.
