What You Have To Do Before And After Applying Your Preferred Suntan Lotion

By Haywodo Hunter


UV-free tanning enables you to have that radiant and eye-catching glow that makes it seem like you just spent the weekend at the beach. This is true in particular if the best indoor suntan lotion is applied. Aside from choosing a brand that is trusted by many all over the plant, it's also a must that you do a few things before applying the product as well as after doing so.

Prior to smoothing on the product all over your body, make sure that your skin is really clean. The tanning ingredient called DHA can perform its role better if there are no dirt and grease that keep it from being absorbed. Before you grab that bottle of your preferred self tanner and apply the contents, make sure that you hit the shower first and thoroughly clean your skin.

Get rid of unwanted dead cells with the use of a loofah or scrub. Exfoliating is best done while you are having your shower. In case you have the money to spare for an exfoliating body gel, purchase a bottle of this product. It is commonly made by an indoor tanner manufacturer. Because it is used before tanning indoors, you can be sure that it won't leave an oily residue.

Shave the skin most especially right after taking a shower when those strands are still soft. It's not unlikely for you to end up with a mottled effect if there are unwanted hairs around. That's because the lotion may collect where the hair strands are, causing these areas to appear darker than the rest. If you prefer waxing, make sure that it is done a day ahead.

Apply your favorite hand and body moisturizer on your knees and elbows beforehand. Doing so will save these areas from having a darker color than the rest as they tend to absorb more DHA due to their innate dryness. Especially if you don't plan on wearing latex gloves or you don't have the barrier cream, apply the moisturizer on your nails to save them from stains.

Once you are through applying your preferred UV-free tanner, make sure that you allow the product to stay on your skin for 6 to 8 hours. This means that you should refrain from taking a shower in order to get rid of the fishy smell that DHA gives off naturally while darkening your skin. You should also avoid doing physical activities that tend to make you sweat a lot.

Smooth on your preferred hand and body moisturizer on a regular basis once the color you are expecting shows up. This helps slow down the process of exfoliation as it keeps the cells properly hydrated all the time. By delaying the skin's sloughing off, it's possible for you to sport the lovely sun-kissed glow for as long as 5 to 7 days.

The moment you notice that the color has slightly faded, exfoliate the next time you hit the shower. This gets rid of excess dead skin cells that tend to make the fake suntan look uneven. It's a good idea to polish the skin once more especially if you are planning on reapplying the indoor tanner again in order to maintain your gorgeous skin tone.
