The Secrets Of Self Tanning Foams
by Haywood Hunter
Thanks to the fact that sunbathing is finally becoming unpopular, more people turn to self tanning products. They are safe to use, they provide great summer glow and everyone looks so much better, thinner and healthier. Self tanning products include foams, creams and lotions, and all the good ones have the same characteristic. They all contain a sugar-based component called DHA.
DHA reacts with different amino acids in the most outer skin layer, creating the effect similar to natural bronzing. The final intensity of your color depends on the percentage of DHA used in this particular product. Besides DHA, every good self tanning lotion contains various color enhancers, moisturizers and some other additives.
Every skin will appreciate a little golden glow. All year round, you can significantly improve your appearance using just a shade or two darker tanners. Summer requires more intensive nuances, and some self tanning lotions and foams can really create amazingly deep shades. Here are a few simple advices for using self tanning products.
Pull your hair up before starting with the application. It is important to exfoliate the face first, to remove all those dead skin cells. Make a mixture of a few drops of selected self tanning lotion and a little bit of your favorite face moisturizer. Apply it on your face and neck first, and then to your ears. Make sure not to miss the spot.
There is a clever little trick for achieving very nice results. Apply a small amount of some eye cream under your eyes before applying your self tanning lotion. This way these areas will remain a little lighter, and it will make you appear younger. After your tan sets, you can add some bronzer to your nose, forehead and cheeks.
Very small amount of Vaseline rubbed on cuticles and nails will prevent stains. If you still need to remove the paint from your nails, you can try using the toothpaste or a strong nail polish remover. Soaking your fingers in your favorite denture cleaner might also be helpful.
Exfoliation is necessary before applying self tanning products on your body, too. Some areas can be problematic, such as heels and elbows. They need to be well-exfoliated and moisturized. It is advisable to shave at least one day before applying self tanning lotions and foams. Don't use your shaving cream if you have dry or sensitive skin. Baby oil is much better for this purpose.
Good moisturizing is always advisable, especially if your skin is sensitive and dry. It is also highly advisable to wear gloves when applying self tanning lotions. If you forget to put them on, here are some things that may help removing the color from your palms. Blend a spoon or two of honey with some iced sugar, salt or baking soda, and rub them with this mixture. It works great on eventual streaks as well.
Professional self tanning salons provide the best service. It might be a little expensive to be air-sprayed by a technician, but you will be more than satisfied with the result. Cheaper option is to use a tanning booth. In both cases the color will be streak-free and even. Your color will probably last about one week or so, and you have to apply another layer when it begins to fade.
