Proper Body Cleansing Is Critical Before You Apply A Sun Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


In any self tan application, one important thing you have to do is prepare the skin. With your Sun Sunless tanning lotion, you will have to think about how you can properly prepare the skin before applying the tanner. Sunless tanners require more preparation than even bronzers do, and this is something the users should emphasize on. One thing with do-it-yourself tan is that, you will get some flaws here and there but with proper guidelines, you can achieve at least a good tan.

It takes practice to understand how you can do the tanning perfectly without causing imperfections. Your first application may be more of experimental than actually applying but with practice, you will be able to know the ins and outs. Some areas can particularly be a challenge to apply especially your back.

When you use oil based scrubs to exfoliate skin, they could leave the oils on pores thus blocking them. The idea here is to have pores that are free from any type of debris. When you have buffed the dead skin and other forms of debris, you will be able to improve the tan effect on body.

The procedure of exfoliating skin is one that offers an effective skin preparation by removing any oils that might be trapped in pores. It also clears the dead skin from pores and skin surface. Skin is one organ that renews itself fast and everyday there are many dead skin cells that are sloughed off and accumulate on skin surface.

With time, if you do not shower and exfoliate skin, that debris accumulates on pore thus clogging them. The tanner lotions ingredients work by penetrating through pores and reaching the epidermis where they interact with protein in the outermost layer of skin. If ingredients in tanner lotions are not finding their way inside the skin, then they will not bring the effect of tanning.

A moist skin will tend to absorb ingredients than a dry one and this is the concept that is applied when you are tanning the body. When you have dry skin, even the tanner product will not adhere well. But when you moisturize it, you make sure it is wet and able to absorb the tanner ingredients.

However, some tanners can fade fast than others depending on their formulations. You do not want to apply a tanner that comes out the following day. It is good to choose a product that will last for a long time before it comes out. Reading the reviews of tanner users will help you understand what you might obtain from a self tanner.

The exfoliation procedure will help in preparing the skin and especially the folded and creased areas. Using a skin brush or a scrub, you can remove those debris and oils trapped in the folds and pores thus leaving your skin fresh and ready for application of tanner. This will ensure you get a uniform shade from the tan.
