Tips For Using Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


If you would like to have a natural looking tan without the sun, there are many excellent products on the market today. If you have little experience with sunless tanning, it can be hard to choose the best lotions and get the kind of results that you really need. These self tanning lotion tips are here to help you.

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.

There is some discrepancy as to which time of day is best to apply self suntan lotions. Many people prefer to use them in the mornings. This way they can be applied after showering. Evening applications can cause problems because they may wear off on bedding as you sleep, and this can stain sheets or pillow cases. Also, an evening shower will place additional wear on your suntan (that was applied in the morning). Morning showering and application may be the best option.

Some products have an odor that is difficult to live with. Before using, check to see what kind of odor is emitted by your cream. You can do this by reading online product reviews. You may find that some lotions have a mild odor that is even pleasant. That way, you can use your suntan cream all the time, without offending other members of the household.

Maybe you enjoy swimming and you might have your own pool. Make sure that you buy creams that are waterproof. However, even water resistant products may wear off quickly. If you swim every day you may need to re-apply more times than you think. In fact, you might have to re-apply every two or three days, to keep your tan looking good.

Some sunless suntan products may contain harsh chemicals and they can cause irritation to those with sensitive skin. To avoid this, always read labels and look for products that contain all natural ingredients. It is also a good idea to check for sensitivity by placing a small bit of cream on the arm or stomach. This will let you know if you skin is sensitive or not.

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.

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.
