Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion Tips

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.

It is very essential that you exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin. This dead skin is known to end up looking flaky once the dark sunless tanning lotion is applied to it. In order to get a good exfoliation, use a good loofah or a body brush with firm bristles. Also, use a good body scrub specially designed for sensitive skin. This will protect your skin from the harsh tanning lotion.

When applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, wear your tightest bathing suit, especially in a dark color. The dark color will ensure that it is not stained by the lotion in the event that you get some of the lotion on it. It should be tight to ensure that you get maximum coverage of the lotion, as well as to prevent tanning lines. Also, get a product that is most similar to your skin tone.

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.

Lotion your elbows and knees once you are done applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, work evenly in order to smooth out the color and make it look natural. Lotion them five minutes before applying tanner in order to absorb as little lotion as possible. This will prevent these areas from looking orange.

The feet and hands are dark in most people hence using the same product on them as on the body will make them even darker. Opt for a lighter product. Apply some of the it to your armpits for even and realistic results. Dark sunless tanning lotion may tend to get quite sticky, but this can be easily fixed by applying a little baby powder to the skin, using a powder puff. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
