Essential Things To Carry Out Prior To Applying A Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Indoor tanning is a risk-free and an effective way to enjoy a stunning complexion. A self tanner is available in the form of spray, lotion, cream or foam. Regardless of which one you like, all of them rely on the same ingredient known as DHA. There are certain steps you have to do just before using the product of your preference in order to end up with a fantastic outcome.


Hit the shower and thoroughly clean the skin prior to the application of a sunless tanning product. It's a must for dirt and grime to be removed so that DHA in the tanner can be completely absorbed and allowed to do its magic. Otherwise, the resulting color may look uneven as clean areas may end up darker and surfaces with excess skin oils may sport lighter brown shades.

Exfoliate to remove too much dead skin cells. DHA works by darkening dead cells sitting on the topmost layer of your skin. It's very important for this surface to be smooth and even so that the indoor tanning product of your choice could produce a uniform fake tan. Using either a loofah or an exfoliating gel designed for application before getting a tan indoor may be done.

Shaving the skin is another important thing you have to carry out beforehand. See to it that there are no unwanted hairs on the areas you wish to tan. Otherwise, it's not unlikely for you to end up with a blotchy effect as the indoor tanning product you wish to apply may collect around the strands, causing certain areas to be darker than the rest.

In case waxing is your preferred hair removal procedure, have it done at least 24 hours before getting a tan indoors. This gives the waxy residue that could keep DHA from springing into action plenty of time to disappear. What's more, letting a full day pass allows your irritated skin to heal.

Ensure that the skin is dry before applying the lotion, spray, foam or cream. Needless to say, excess water can weaken DHA and leave you with a less desirable outcome. Sure it can be very exciting to get started with the process so you may enjoy a gorgeous skin complexion right away. However, it's a must for you to ensure that the areas to be tanned indoors are completely dry.

Refrain from applying your daily cosmetics. Everyone knows that a self tanning product, no matter the form, emits a certain fishy odor. This is perfectly normal especially if the tanning solution of your choice relies on DHA to work. However, it's not a good idea to apply perfume or any scented cosmetic product beforehand just to cover up the characteristic smell DHA emits.

Save dry areas of the body like the knees and elbows from ending up evidently darker by spreading lotion on them just before you apply the sunless tanner you like. It is the only product that may be used beforehand. This is done on parts that tend to be drier than the rest of your body to keep too much DHA from being absorbed.
