Achieve A Golden Tan From Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It's possible to have a natural looking tan, without damaging your skin from the sun, by a using sunless tanning lotion. There are many to choose from on the market. And you can control just how much darker you want your skin to appear, even in the dead of winter.

Some of them are fragranced and some of them are not. You can find certain brands that can be sprayed on or rubbed on like any regular lotion. Sometimes they include special conditioners for your skin, like aloe vera, to soothe the sting that comes from the sun, just in case you're also getting tanned by the sun. Many also have level of sun block, for added protection.

It doesn't take long to notice results. Usually within a few hours of first applying it, you're skin will look darker. You control how dark you get by the amount of product you use, and how often you use it. If your skin is normally sensitive, you might play it safe by testing a small area. Not only can you protect against an allergic reaction, but you can see if you like the coloring effect in a small area before you apply it all over..

To avoid the striped zebra look, be sure to rub the lotion on as evenly as possible. You can use a cloth or a small sponge to apply it. Or if you use your hands, beware that the palms of your hands will absorb the color, too. You may want to wear gloves to avoid that, especially if you're going for the most natural looking tan. The palms of our hands don't typically tan from the sun. Nor do our underarms, so try to avoid those areas.

There are special products available specifically for the face. Because the face has more exposure to the sun normally, it may darken quicker than other parts of the body that are usually more concealed. Also, special moisturizers are in facial products which can help smooth out the lines and wrinkles.

Use caution if you wear a bathing suit of other clothing when you apply your tan, because the ingredient that darkens your skin will also stain your fabric. In effect, you are temporarily dying your skin. The dye adheres to dead skin cells, so it's important to wash and exfoliate before applying the lotion to remove excess dead cells from the usual dry skin areas of the body. Otherwise, they will absorb more of the darkening ingredient, resulting in uneven coloring.

Luckily the products on the market today are much more natural looking than the ones available ten or fifteen years ago. In the beginning, people who used the products that were first available had a noticeable orange hue. It made you wonder if they'd overdosed on carrot juice. It's not the case anymore. The manufacturers have refined the products and there are many choices out there that will give you satisfying results.

The prices of sunless tanning lotion can vary widely, but paying more doesn't necessarily guarantee a better product. It could pay off to comparison shop.
