Aspects To Check In The Best Self Tanning Lotion Products

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.

The main active ingredient in these products is the dihydroxyacetone, which is a sugar that is regarded as safe for use on skin. The sugar molecules interact with the proteins in the outer layer of your skin or the dermis to give the glow on skin. It is a fake tan effect that does not last for long. When applied properly, it can take about five to seven days before it starts fading away.

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.

You may have to do some spot tests to determine whether you are using a product that is safe and will not react with the skin. In testing the product, consider doing it on sensitive skin such as your face. Once you have confirmed that the product will work, you can prepare the skin. You cannot apply a tan spray on a dirty skin.

Before you purchase the product, you can read their reviews from those who have used them. You might also want to test them before you apply. The time it takes for the tint to fade away from body is another issue. An ideal tanner is that which can last for about 5 to 7 days before it starts fading.

However, there is one exception on application of moisturizers or lotions before tanning, and it applies to the very dry areas including the feet and hands. You might want to apply some moisturizers and lotions in order to prevent much tan product from soaking in the skin and darkening the parts. The moisturizers and lotions though should be light.

To ensure that your tanner is evenly spread over skin, try to start with the areas of your body that have a large surface area. This can be the back, limbs, and stomach. Once those areas are tanned, you can now concentrate on the other areas of your body. In choosing a tan product, ensure you get one, which has gentle and harmless ingredients.

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.
