The Self Tanner Tanning Products Make Available A Safer Alternative To Conventional Suntanning

By Haywood Hunter


Today it is still fashionable to look tanned. Many people do not want to look white because they think this reflects an unhealthy appearance. A tan suggests that the wearer is healthy and active. People feel happier when they can replace a white skinned complexion with a bronzed look that could have been produced by the sun. The self tanner was made available to the market over twenty year's ago. It allows the consumer to determine what their skin color looks like. The choices are numerous and can cause confusion if no research is done ahead of time.

The first step to take to ensure a great looking tan is to apply a moisturizing lotion to areas prone to dryness such as the knees, elbows and between the fingers. Make sure the moisturizer is thoroughly absorbed to ensure a more even looking tan when the self tanner product is applied. Once wants to avoid streaks as much as possible and dry skin can cause these quite easily.

The consumer can choose from many different applications such as lotions, oils, mousses and sprays. Depending on what kind of skin you have you will probably prefer one over the other. The most popular and least messy is to use a spray. Using a tan is one of the best ways to avoid getting a streaky tan. This kind of self tanner can be purchased in a spray bottle.

One of the best ways to spray is to have someone else help you apply the self tanner. They will have the best perspective to make certain that the skin is evenly covered with spray. Those hard to reach areas are a lot easier to reach by the second person. If your goal is to just tan your legs for example. This can be accomplished alone if the entire leg is not meant to be tanned. Some women don't want to wear nylon stockings and will choose to apply a tan from the knees down so that their legs will not look white.

Another kind of self tanner is the mousse. Foaming mousse is light and easily spreadable allowing for a more even distribution of the tanning ingredients. Mousse will not drip so as it is spread around on the skin it will adhere better to the skin's surface.

Sometimes the consumer simply wants to add more color to their face. There is no additional help required when applying a facial self tanner. Always apply a light coat because a little goes a long way. Any streaky areas can be removed with lemon juice applied to a cotton pad.

People who experience dryness of skin will want to add extra moisturizer and they can do this in the form of oils. Natural plant oils are preferred since they provide nutrients to the skin type that can dry easily from the tanning ingredients. The scent of the natural ingredients in the self tanner will also make application of the self tanner a pleasant experience.

Customers can stretch out the time they have their tan with a tan booster. Some tan boosters will also add a light shimmer that adds a certain mystique to the tanned look. Always remember to double check on the directions so that the self tanner and tan booster can be used one on top of the other without negative side effects.
