Having The Best Skin By Using Various Selftanning Methods

By Haywwod Hunter


In the past, the most popular way to gain a suntan was to lie in the sun on a hot summers day, and to make use of creams that aided the process. However, nowadays it is a well-known fact that the sun's rays can damage the skin, and can cause a few serious diseases as well. Therefore, it is now more popular to use other selftanning methods.

As technology advanced, scientists developed various ways to achieve a good suntan without the need for the sun. Even in your own home, you can use creams that enable the process of suntanning. You can also save a lot of time when you don't have to spend many hours on the beach, or in your garden, lying in the sun.

People have different types of skin, and for this reason, there are a number of self tan lotions available. It is very easy to use these creams, and their results can be quite outstanding. However, as with all skin products, they should be applied with care, and a person should understand how they work before attempting to use them.

The skin texture of one person will definitely vary from another. This is what makes it necessary for you to choose your specific, or preferred, skin tanning lotion carefully. To be on the safer side, it is important to visit your dermatologist to help you with the selection. They perform various tests to help you with the decision making process.

Using the right skin tan lotion in the wrong way, or using the wrong skin tan lotion altogether, can have disastrous effects. To avoid problems, always read the product overview before doing anything. It will have information about the cream, as well as application instructions. In addition, skin must be ready for the application, and therefore, certain steps must be taken.

Twenty-four hours before you plan to use a self tan lotion, your skin will need to be ex-foliated. This will prepare your skin for the self tan lotion, ensuring that the maximum results are achieved. The lotion cannot be applied to dirty skin, as an even application is required.

Many people just 'slap' on the cream and hope for the best, however, it should actually be applied in circular movements. Do it in slow motion as well, so that the skin has time to absorb the cream. Certain areas of the body do not take well to self tan lotion, and could appear much darker than other skin areas. These include the elbows, ankles and knees. Do not apply in these areas, or only use a little to avoid an unwanted appearance.

Another consideration to be made before the use of self tan cream, is their color, or shade. A person is usually recommended to start with a lighter shade, as it is less likely to create an undesirable effect. The results of darker shades may be much harder to undo if they don't look good. Nowadays, it is unnecessary to suntan in the conventional way, as the selftanning methods available are so much more effective.
