How To Use Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


There is nothing more unappealing as Caucasian skin than the pale, washed out look. To get it looking tan and lifelike, one will have to stay in the sun to get it to acquire the glow. Luckily, there are all manner of dark sunless tanning lotion to get the tan without the sun. To apply, a few steps need to be followed.

Do not shave immediately before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. A day before is the best time to shave especially if you have very delicate skin. The skin is quite sensitive after shaving, and since the product may have some strong ingredients it may end up causing further irritation to the skin. However, if your skin can handle it, you can shave at least five hours before using dark sunless tanning lotion.

Dead skin is known to make the tan results look fake. It will make the skin look dry, patchy and ashy. To get rid of this one has to exfoliate. Exfoliating will get rid of this dead skin. Use a loofah or body brush and a good body scrub, preferably one with natural ingredient to soothe your skin in preparation for the dark sunless tanning lotion.

When applying your tan wear a tight dark outfit, such as a bathing suit. The dark outfit will not get majorly affected in terms of staining when you accidentally get the lotion on it. Also, when choosing a dark sunless tanning lotion get one that is closer to your skin tone in order to look natural and effortless.

The best tools to apply the dark sunless tanning lotion are the hands. These will however require a lot of experience to perfect. In order to get the best tanning results, use a sponge paintbrush or a small sponge roller. Use single strokes of it to avoid looking too orange.

Wash your hands once you are through with applying it. Most people forget to do so and end up with orange palms. You can opt to wear gloves when applying it to eliminate the need to wash your hands. Hydrogen peroxide comes quite in handy when you have excess tanning lotion on your palms, or in the event that you use a bit too much dark sunless tanning lotion in a certain area. Dab it with a cotton bud and rinse off lightly.

Lotion your elbows and knees once you are done applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, work evenly in order to smooth out the color and make it look natural. Lotion them five minutes before applying tanner in order to absorb as little lotion as possible. This will prevent these areas from looking orange.

For feet and hands, choose a product lighter than the one you use on your body. The armpits should not be left out as this will make the area pale and the tan will thus look fake. Using a powder puff, apply a little baby powder all over your body to eliminate the sticky effect caused by dark sunless tanning lotion. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
