The Self Tanner Tanning Products Offer A Safer Alternative To Traditional Suntanning

By Haywood Hunter


Today it is still fashionable to look tanned. Many people do not want to look white because they think this reflects an unhealthy appearance. A tan suggests that the wearer is healthy and active. People feel happier when they can replace a white skinned complexion with a bronzed look that could have been produced by the sun. The self tanner was made available to the market over twenty year's ago. It allows the consumer to determine what their skin color looks like. The choices are numerous and can cause confusion if no research is done ahead of time.

Streaking can be avoided by moisturizing ahead of time. Certain areas of the body tend to dry out more easily such as the elbows, knees and the fingers. These areas will tend to streak more than the less dry areas. Applying moisturizer to the dry areas ensures a more even tan resulting in a natural look.

There are many different consistencies to choose from such as an oil, lotion, mousse or spray base. Depending on your skin type there is a preference for one base over the other. Most people prefer to use a spray since it tends to be easier to apply than an oil. A spray bottle application provides the user the opportunity to keep their hands free from the self tanner.

One of the best ways to spray is to have someone else help you apply the self tanner. They will have the best perspective to make certain that the skin is evenly covered with spray. Those hard to reach areas are a lot easier to reach by the second person. If your goal is to just tan your legs for example. This can be accomplished alone if the entire leg is not meant to be tanned. Some women don't want to wear nylon stockings and will choose to apply a tan from the knees down so that their legs will not look white.

The mousse is also a popular alternative to the more messy lotions. You can easily spread it since it is not runny. It sticks to the skin more readily and produces are more even tan than the lotion.

Sometimes the consumer simply wants to add more color to their face. There is no additional help required when applying a facial self tanner. Always apply a light coat because a little goes a long way. Any streaky areas can be removed with lemon juice applied to a cotton pad.

For people with dry skin, oil has been proven to be a good self tanner with natural moisturizers. Plant oils in particular are recommended for keeping the skin from any drying effects the tanning ingredients may cause. The natural oils help to illuminate the skin allowing for a natural glow. The natural fragrance of the oils makes for a pleasant experience when using natural products.

Customers can stretch out the time they have their tan with a tan booster. Some tan boosters will also add a light shimmer that adds a certain mystique to the tanned look. Always remember to double check on the directions so that the self tanner and tan booster can be used one on top of the other without negative side effects.
