Aspects To Consider In The Best Self Tanning Lotion Items

By Haywood Hunter


People are using tanner products as alternative to sun tanning or tan beds in order to glow their body without exposing themselves to ultraviolet rays. If tanner products are used properly, they can give a golden tint on skin without causing harm. Choosing the best self tanning lotion brands helps eliminate problems and imperfections when applying the tanners. These lotions came in many different brands with different formulations.

In applying your tan to the hands, you put it on the backs of hands and then rub them together ensuring that you do not put any tan product on palms. At times, you may apply your tanner only to realize that some areas have turned too orangey or dark such as the wrists, hands, and ankle. You can remove the excess tan and lighten the area by applying substances such as whitening toothpaste, baking soda, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide.

The face may require frequent application of tan because the cells renew faster than other areas of body. As the dead cells slough off, so is the tan fading away. A good tan product is that which maintain a fresh fragrance smell throughout its life on skin. There are products that smell great before you apply them but after they have rested on skin, they stink.

When examining the smell of a tanner, you should check how it smells before application and after application. You may be surprised that a product that has impressive fresh smell before applying on body skin, next morning it smells horribly. These are products you have to avoid so that you prevent the agony of having to remove your tint soon.

Moreover, there are other aspects such as application of deodorant, moisturizers, and other types of lotions. It is not advisable to apply these products after you have showered and exfoliated the skin. These products could interfere with the absorption of tanner. You may want to skip these products in order to ensure that you do not create problems with the tan application.

There are products, which will fade within the first three days. These are not good tanners and you have to do away with them. In addition, the shade you get from the products is another important thing. Some shades are just unimpressive and might not be appealing to the eye. The spreading of lotions on body when you apply, may tell you about the quality of that product.

A tanner should spread easily, smoothly, and evenly on skin without creating streaks and blotches. Some tanners also drip when applied on skin meaning that after you have finished spreading them, they may continue to dribble, something that might cause streaks. Moreover, the drying time is another element, which you want to check before settling on a particular product.

Many of the tanners will claim that they dry within a couple of minutes. However, this is not the case with some, as they will remain moist and wet for a longer time. You may end up messing items and surfaces you come in contact with after applying the tan such as bed sheets.
