The Self Tanner Products Propose A Safer Option 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.

In order to avoid any streaky areas be sure to moisturize ahead of time the skin that tends to dry out. These areas include the elbows, knees and fingers. Rub in the moisturizer well so that it is thoroughly absorbed into the skin. This will give the self tanner tanning ingredients in the self tanner a more even distribution resulting in a natural bronzed look.

The consumer can choose from many different applications such as lotions, oils, mousses and sprays. Depending on what kind of skin you have you will probably prefer one over the other. The most popular and least messy is to use a spray. Using a tan is one of the best ways to avoid getting a streaky tan. This kind of self tanner can be purchased in a spray bottle.

Having a helping hand is also convenient. If possible, a second person can spray on the self tanner thus helping to avoid those pesky streaks and missed spots. The friend can reach the hard to reach spots more easily. For simple applications such as spraying the legs, a second person isn't needed as much. Many girls avoid wearing nylons by choosing a self tanner for their legs on a regular basis.

Mousse has proven to be a popular second choice as a self tanner. The mousse is a foamy application that spreads easily for a uniform distribution of the tanning product. Mousse is relatively drip free so the procedure is pleasant and quick.

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.

People who experience dryness of skin will want to add extra moisturizer and they can do this in the form of oils. Natural plant oils are preferred since they provide nutrients to the skin type that can dry easily from the tanning ingredients. The scent of the natural ingredients in the self tanner will also make application of the self tanner a pleasant experience.

To maintain the tan the consumer can also use a tan booster. The special ingredients augment the tan and often have the ability to add a shimmering effect. It's important to read the directions and to make certain that the tan booster and initial self tanner that is used can be used together.
