Having The Very Best Skin By Using Various Selftanning Procedures

By Haywood Raptis


In the past, the most popular way to gain a suntan was to lie in the sun on a hot summers day, and to make use of creams that aided the process. However, nowadays it is a well-known fact that the sun's rays can damage the skin, and can cause a few serious diseases as well. Therefore, it is now more popular to use other selftanning methods.

As technology advanced, scientists developed various ways to achieve a good suntan without the need for the sun. Even in your own home, you can use creams that enable the process of suntanning. You can also save a lot of time when you don't have to spend many hours on the beach, or in your garden, lying in the sun.

In the shops that are nearby, there are many self tan lotions and creams available for purchase. They allow the skin to be tanned in a more enjoyable way than getting all hot under the sun. They offer more desirable results as well. The only thing to remember, is that they should be carefully selected and carefully applied.

Everyone has different skin types, and for this reason, not everyone may be able to use the same self tan lotion. At the very least, the product should be tested on a small part of your skin before larger applications are made, but it is even better to visit a dermatologist. They can order more advanced tests to get you the best lotion for your skin type.

By consulting a doctor, and by following the instructions on the packaging, you will not suffer any bad effects from the miss-use of creams for skin tanning purposes. Each product may be different, therefore, always read the fine print. Great results can also only be achieved when the skin is properly prepared for the application.

Twenty-four hours before you plan to use a self tan lotion, your skin will need to be ex-foliated. This will prepare your skin for the self tan lotion, ensuring that the maximum results are achieved. The lotion cannot be applied to dirty skin, as an even application is required.

Many people just 'slap' on the cream and hope for the best, however, it should actually be applied in circular movements. Do it in slow motion as well, so that the skin has time to absorb the cream. Certain areas of the body do not take well to self tan lotion, and could appear much darker than other skin areas. These include the elbows, ankles and knees. Do not apply in these areas, or only use a little to avoid an unwanted appearance.

Another consideration to be made before the use of self tan cream, is their color, or shade. A person is usually recommended to start with a lighter shade, as it is less likely to create an undesirable effect. The results of darker shades may be much harder to undo if they don't look good. Nowadays, it is unnecessary to suntan in the conventional way, as the selftanning methods available are so much more effective.
