Things That You Should Do Before Using 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
