Applying Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion



By Haywood Hunter


There is nothing more unappealing as Caucasian skin than the pale, washed out look. To get it looking tan and lifelike, one will have to stay in the sun to get it to acquire the glow. Luckily, there are all manner of dark sunless tanning lotion to get the tan without the sun. To apply, a few steps need to be followed.

Do not shave immediately before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. A day before is the best time to shave especially if you have very delicate skin. The skin is quite sensitive after shaving, and since the product may have some strong ingredients it may end up causing further irritation to the skin. However, if your skin can handle it, you can shave at least five hours before using dark sunless tanning lotion.

Exfoliate right before you apply this product. Exfoliate using a loofah and body scrub, preferably the ones made for sensitive skin. It will get the dead skin out while still keeping your skin safe and protected. The dead skin, if not removed, will end up making your skin look patchy and ashy once you apply the dark sunless tanning lotion.

A tight, dark outfit is what you should wear when applying this product . This will mean that you get a very tight bathing suit. A dark color will ensure that you avoid staining your outfit. Try and match your dark sunless tanning lotion to your skin tone, in order to have a natural looking tan.

Use a sponge paintbrush or a sponge roller to apply the tan to your body. Resist the temptation to use more than one stroke of the dark sunless tanning lotion, even if it does not look satisfactory at first glance. It will take some time to get fully absorbed so a little patience will go a long way.

Wash your hands just after you use dark sunless tanning lotion so as to avoid orange palms. Otherwise, you can wear gloves when applying it. Hydrogen peroxide is quite helpful when you have used a little too much tanning lotion. Dab it on the areas that you used too much lotion on using a cotton bud.

To get a more even look, apply some moisturizer after you apply the dark sunless tanning lotion. Use body lotion before you apply the tanning lotion. This way they will absorb a little less lotion and thus look even with the rest of the body.

For feet and hands, choose a product lighter than the one you use on your body. The armpits should not be left out as this will make the area pale and the tan will thus look fake. Using a powder puff, apply a little baby powder all over your body to eliminate the sticky effect caused by dark sunless tanning lotion. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
