Avoid These Self Tanning Problems
by Haywood Hunter
Prior to the 1960's, the only way to get a tan was to lay out in the sun and expose the skin to harsh UV rays. Around that time studies concluded that sun exposure was linked to skin cancer and self tanning products were developed for consumer use. The formulas for these types of products have changed since that time. An instant tan without needing the sun is now easier then ever. Consumers can use the product inside their home, making self tanning a convenient method of tanning.
When choosing a self tanning product, one should always aim to purchase the best available on the market. Higher end products yield better and more consistent results.
The chemistry of a person's skin is unique to only them. This is why it can take time to find a product that works best for one individual. While one brand might work great for one person, it may provide little to no results for another. This has nothing to do with the quality of the self tanning product used but rather the chemical makeup of that person's skin.
For maximum results, the skin should be prepped before any self tanning product is applied. The skin should be washed and exfoliated thoroughly and dried completely before beginning. The best practice is to do this the day before the self tanning product is applied. Exfoliation is essential for removing the build up of dead skin cells on the body. Patched of dead skin cells can cause self tanning to look patchy and uneven in areas.
After cleaning and exfoliation, the self tanner can be applied. A slow circular motion for most self tanning creams is the best way to do the application. Do not attempt to cover the entire body at once. Choose one area to work on and once the self tanning product has been absorbed completely application in a different area can begin. The mixture of circular motion and allowing small areas to absorb will create a more even and flawless tan.
Areas with thicker skin such as knees, elbows and ankles do not have to be covered as thickly as the rest of the body. Many people skin these areas altogether. If self tanning products are going to be applied to these areas though, only a thin layer is needed for deep tanning.
Choosing the correct shade of self tanning product is very important as well. For first time users, a lighter shade is usually the most suitable until more experience using these products is gained. Lighter shades do not show mistakes as prominent making them perfect for users testing out these types of products as they hide any flaws are blotchy areas very well.
By following a few simple tips during application, a self tan can be just as good as a tan gained from sun exposure. If applied correctly no one should be able to tell that self tanning was used at all. A well maintained tan can be kept all year long without having to spend any time in the hot sun.
