Things That You Should Do Prior To Applying A Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


The application of an indoor tanner is a safe and highly effective way to darken the complexion. You may choose from the lotion, gel, cream or spray type. No matter the form, it's for certain that the product relies on DHA as its active ingredient. Certain steps need to be conducted just before you apply the self tanner of your liking in order to get excellent results.

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.

Remove excess dead cells resting on your skin's topmost layer by means of exfoliation. DHA works by causing dead skin cells to darken and sport a golden brown color just like a real suntan. It's a must for the uppermost part of your skin to be smooth so that you could enjoy an even outcome. It's a good idea to use a loofah in the shower or a body gel made for exfoliating.

Shaving is another step that needs to be done just before getting a tan inside the home. Ensure that there are no unwanted body hairs present most especially on areas where you intend to apply the sunless tanning product of your liking. If you don't get rid of those excess hairs, DHA may only collect around them and cause a blotchy effect.

If you prefer waxing over shaving, remember to have the procedure done at least a day before you get a tan indoors. This allows the waxy remainder to disappear completely so it wouldn't keep DHA from doing its job. Additionally, letting 24 hours to pass after waxing allows the skin to recover from the hair removal procedure.

See to it that you dry up completely before using the spray, lotion, cream or foam tanning solution. Excessive moisture weakens DHA, causing this chemical to produce less stellar results. It's perfectly understandable why you can get very excited to start the indoor tanning procedure. However, see to it that the areas to be tanned are towel dried thoroughly.

Do not apply any cosmetic product that you use on a regular basis. It is true that today's indoor tanners tend to give off a distinctive fishy smell. This is normal most especially if the product of your preference uses DHA as its active ingredient. It's a bad idea, however, to use any scented cosmetic item like cologne beforehand just to mask the odor DHA emits.

The only cosmetic product you may apply beforehand is your favorite moisturizing lotion. Take note that it should only be used on dryer areas of the body such as the ankles, knees and elbows. Due to the dryness of these parts, they tend to absorb more DHA and end up darker than the rest. Applying moisturizing lotion in these areas weakens DHA's effect.
