Discover Safe Self Tanning For A Desirable Body

By Haywood Hunter

Self tanning is the perfect way to get a beautiful body without being exposed to the dangerous rays of the sun. A tanned body is appealing to the opposite sex but also lifts your own spirits. So using a fake tan achieves a fabulous color and avoids any health risks. You can feel safe and make yourself look good at the same time.

You will discover a number of different brands and types of products. So it is important that you choose one that will give you a natural look. All of them have a special ingredient. It is Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is this that causes the skin to become tanned.

Some products leave the skin looking orange, a far from natural state. Some have a rather unpleasant odor that tell everyone your tan is fake. Others fade very quickly so you have to spend extra time to re apply the product. Streaks and stains can be left by some of them so careful choice is important.

Try out your fake tan on a part of the body that is only visible to you. If you find the effect is not as you wished it to be, then only you will be able to see it. Make sure you cleanse your skin first before you exfoliate. Exfoliating removes flaky skin that would spoil the final effect if it is not removed first. A moisturizer can be used at a later stage.

You may find that some parts of the body may be darker after applying your fake product. To avoid this happening on your face, which will be exposed at all times, then use an eye cream immediately under the eyes. This should make the tan an even color. You are trying for one shade darker only.

Now you can try mixing a small amount of moisturizer with your tanning lotion. This will enable a smoother application. As well as the face, cover the ears, too. Remove all traces of the fake tan from your hands by washing thoroughly.

Before repeating the process on the rest of your body you will need to exfoliate just as you did previously. Apply the product systematically, moving up through your body, one limb at a time. Again, you will allow several minutes for the tan to dry. Avoid any exercise for several hours as sweat may cause the application to streak.

You will be surprised at how many brands and types of self tanning products are available. There are gels, milks, mousses and sprays. The lotion is still very popular, though. You can find ones that are easily absorbed and one just for your skin. It is time for you to be brave and enhance your body. You will feel great!
