By Haywood Hunter


If you want to get yourself a nice golden suntan without having to lie in the sun and risks the dangers that come with it. You can try one of the many self tanning lotions available from the chemist or supermarket. It is not always easy to pick the right product for you first time.

Friends and colleagues will go on about which products work for them, but it may not work on you. An inexpensive way to find out is to ask them if you can try a test patch with their product. Most products information sheets will tell you to carry out a skin patch test, to ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.

It is best to allow the patch test 24 hours to work. If you think the test patch color is not quite right, it is advisable not to purchase that product. Using it all over just makes the end results look worse and it may look very streaky or like and orange.

Alternatively, you can try making your own homemade lotion. You will find a number of easy to make recipes on the internet that use everyday household ingredients. You will find step by step instructions on how to mix, use and store your home-made lotion.

You will find important skin preparation advice which is important when you want to use a self tanning product. You have peace of mind because you know exactly what is going into the lotion. Unlike with products you can purchase, they may give you a list of ingredients, but you have not a clue what they are.

If you prefer to use natural products because you have sensitive skin, you should visit your local health store. They usually stock a variety of products derived from herbs and plants to make self tanning lotions. You can be sure that they contain only natural ingredients.
