How To Use Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Skin may tend to look pale and lifeless, especially during winter. To get it to acquire a lifelike glow, one needs to get a good tan. Tanning is the process by which the skin acquires a darker tone due to exposure to the sun. With the busy lifestyles nowadays, no one actually has the time to stay in the sun in order to get a tan. Luckily, there is dark sunless tanning lotion that gives one the same results without having to burn in the sun. There are a few steps to follow when using this product, to get best results.

The first rule about applying dark sunless tanning lotion is that you should not shave before using it. Shaving is bound to make the skin quite delicate and applying tanning lotion to it will make the situation worse. If you have very sensitive skin, and you really need to shave your body, shave at least a day before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. Some people are lucky enough to have skin that can endure this, but do not take the risk.

Dead skin is known to make the tan results look fake. It will make the skin look dry, patchy and ashy. To get rid of this one has to exfoliate. Exfoliating will get rid of this dead skin. Use a loofah or body brush and a good body scrub, preferably one with natural ingredient to soothe your skin in preparation for the dark sunless tanning lotion.

When applying your tan wear a tight dark outfit, such as a bathing suit. The dark outfit will not get majorly affected in terms of staining when you accidentally get the lotion on it. Also, when choosing a dark sunless tanning lotion get one that is closer to your skin tone in order to look natural and effortless.

Applying the dark sunless tanning lotion to your body is quite tricky. One wrong step can end up in major disaster. This is why it is best to use a sponge body brush or even a sponge roller. Make sure that you apply it evenly to make it look realistic. Use only one stroke over an area to avoid looking too tan.

Wash your hands once you are through with applying it. Most people forget to do so and end up with orange palms. You can opt to wear gloves when applying it to eliminate the need to wash your hands. Hydrogen peroxide comes quite in handy when you have excess tanning lotion on your palms, or in the event that you use a bit too much dark sunless tanning lotion in a certain area. Dab it with a cotton bud and rinse off lightly.

To get a more even look, apply some moisturizer after you apply the dark sunless tanning lotion. Use body lotion before you apply the tanning lotion. This way they will absorb a little less lotion and thus look even with the rest of the body.

For feet and hands, choose a product lighter than the one you use on your body. The armpits should not be left out as this will make the area pale and the tan will thus look fake. Using a powder puff, apply a little baby powder all over your body to eliminate the sticky effect caused by dark sunless tanning lotion. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
