Did you know when it comes to skin care that one in five adults will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetimes?If that's not reason enough to slather on the SPF and stay out of the sun, I don't know what is.But if you still want to sport a sun-kissed glow, take heart. Today's self-tanners offer more options and better formulas than ever for achieving a natural-looking glow without even leaving the house.Some of these tanners also offer protection from the harmful ray of the sun.Here are five ways you can get the most out of your self-tanner.Step one: Prep your canvas. You wouldn't put on makeup without first washing and moisturizing your face, right? Think of your body the same way. So prepare your skin for tanning.Exfoliate skin in the shower, towel dry, and layer on an oil-free moisturizer. Just like with makeup, moisturizer will always help self tanner go on more easily.Step two: Hop back in the tub! Why worry about getting tanner all over your room when you can apply it standing in your tub or shower? This is especially wise if you plan on using a spray formula.Step three: Divide and conquer. Be sure to coat the front, back, and sides of each body part. Don't move on from an area until you've covered every possible angle.Step four: Face it. When it's time to do your face, wrap your hair in a towel. If you're using a lotion or gel, smooth it on in small circles, taking care to blend around your hairline and jaw.If you're using a spray, spritz it on from at least five inches away while holding your breath and keeping your eyes closed. And if that sounds scary, try a bronzer like our Superior Beauty Bronzer instead (wink, wink).Step five: Chill out. Wait until you're completely dry before putting on clothes. For best results, avoid anything tight, clingy or white. If you can, go without underwear to avoid lines (Don't worry, we won't tell).Finally, remember that self tanner won't provide one iota of sun protection when you do go outside. Always use sunscreen and reapply as necessary to protect you from the harmful rays of the sun.I hope this article gives you some insights to the Self tanner world.Thanks for reading.
