Lotion Gives Best Results For Dark Self Tan
With a swarm of self-tanning products available in the market
, sporting a natural dark tan is easier than it ever was. Here's how one can achieve a beautiful-looking, long-lasting dark self tan.
Products
Sun tan products are available in various different forms - from sprays to lotions to accelerators. The user should try to choose a tanning product that he or she is most comfortable with. However, for a dark self tan, it's advisable to use an ultra dark self tanning lotion from a reputable company.
Working
All tanning creams consist of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is basically a type of sugar which interacts with the skin cells (dead ones) that are located in the upper layer of the body. As this sugar intermingles with the cells, the skin starts to change its color. This change normally lasts for about a week after the application.
Maximize The Effect Of The Lotion
Self-tanning products will not work well on skin which is rough or chapped; in fact it will only make it look more patchy and streaky. To make sure that one gets the desired tan, a good moisturizer must be applied on the entire body for a week or two before using a self-tanning lotion. Also, a couple of hours before applying the lotion, one must use a good exfoliating cream on the entire body to ensure that the skin absorbs the product evenly and more effectively. There are several companies which offer excellent moisturizers and exfoliation products that the user can apply.
Remember, exfoliation should always be finished by applying a generous layer of moisturizer all over the body. The moisturizer should then get completely absorbed into the skin (which might take a few hours). The perfect time to apply tanning creams is right before going to bed at night.
How To Get A Natural Look When Using A Dark Self Tan
When using a tanning product, one must try not to spread it over those parts of the body which do not get any natural sun exposure, for instance, the soles, spaces between the toes and fingers, palms of hands, and region behind ears. Also, those parts which have a naturally rough skin (like knees and elbows) should be treated with immaculate care, by using only half the normal amount of cream and that too after careful exfoliation.
The areas which have a tendency to break in sweat, like underarms and arm creases, should also to be treated carefully, to avoid dark spots and streaks. And lastly, the most sensitive area- wrists - may end up with streaks as people, without realizing it, apply liberal amounts of tanning lotion to these areas.
Remember, the most effective way of removing any kind of spots or streaks is by smearing some exfoliating cream into the region.
Usually, it takes a dark self tan cream four hours to show its effects. To avoid staining the sheets or fabric, it's advised to wait till the tan is absolutely dry, and after that you can go to bed without any worries. Also, it's good to wear dark colored clothing to avoid making visible stains all over what one is wearing.
