To get a natural looking tan, follow some self tanning tips and ideas. The basic thing you need to consider is to get the tanning product and apply it in the right way. With such tips, your skin will not have any side effect and you will notice a perfect bronze glow with the self-tanner.
Self Tanning Tips and Ideas
· Rubbing is Necessary before Applying
While taking a shower, make sure you exfoliate your dead skin. Be careful with the rough areas of the skin like ankles, elbows, heels, and knees. Dry your body properly, as water will stop the tanner to absorb evenly and keep the skin lotion free.
· Get Your Timing Right
You are advised to wax at least 24 hours before, because if any hair follicles remain on the body, self-tanner can pool in them and cause tiny dark spots to appear. Hence, you are advised to take off body hair a day before to avoid further problems.
· Use Surgical Gloves for Applying a Self-Tanner
To apply a self tanner, you have to be extremely careful with it, otherwise it can affect your palms as well. Hence, you are advised to wash your hands after you apply the self-tanner to a particular section of the body. If you don't clean your palms well, then it can get spoilt. However, you get a nail brush handy with every pack to make sure that the self tanner can get off your cuticles and the area between your fingers.
· Make a Layer of Different Coats of Self Tanning Lotion
To get the right deep color of tanning, you need to apply at least three thin coats just like the way you do it with nail polish and wait for at least 10 minutes to get it dried. Make sure you don't apply the self tanner in thick layers, otherwise it will drip and steak. Go for tinted formulas instead, as they help to give proper coating.
- Select the Right Shade
It is necessary to select the right shade, as the skin type is extremely relevant in the tanning process. If you have a fair skin, do not apply a darker shade, otherwise it will not look good. Tanning is like a mask that should match your skin shade. Make sure you get a removal tanning product, so that you can get it off if it doesn't match your skin shade.
- Choosing the Right Quality
Quality of self tanning product is extremely important. If the quality is not good, it can affect your skin in a bad way. Get the review of all tanning products, and choose the one which has got good reviews among all. Don't just run behind the price and buy some product looking at its price. Consider what all ingredients it includes that can help your skin to get tanned in the right way.
- Allow Self Tanning to Work
Self tanning can never show its effect quickly. Allow some time, may be an hour or so, to show its effect. It takes time to get the same amount of color and give the same effect to your skin. It will show its effect only if the product is applied for quite a long time.
The advantage of self tanning is that the risk of skin cancer, wrinkles, and sun burn is absolutely zero. It is usually better to be applied after dinner when you don't have much work to do. Such product can save you from real sun exposure, and at the same time, will give you the perfect color of your skin. Follow these self tanning tips and ideas and start noticing the effect soon.
