Applying Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion

Applying Dark Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Dark sunless tanning lotion came as a godsend. Caucasian skin tends to look really pale and lifeless. To acquire the glow, one had to spend many hours in the sun. This at times would end up in disaster and cause one to end up with sunburn. In winter, one could only dream of a tan. Now, the hassle of sun tanning has been eliminated. To get best results from using sunless tanning lotion, there are a number of step that one has to follow.

The first rule about applying dark sunless tanning lotion is that you should not shave before using it. Shaving is bound to make the skin quite delicate and applying tanning lotion to it will make the situation worse. If you have very sensitive skin, and you really need to shave your body, shave at least a day before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. Some people are lucky enough to have skin that can endure this, but do not take the risk.

Exfoliate right before you apply this product. Exfoliate using a loofah and body scrub, preferably the ones made for sensitive skin. It will get the dead skin out while still keeping your skin safe and protected. The dead skin, if not removed, will end up making your skin look patchy and ashy once you apply the dark sunless tanning lotion.

When applying your tan wear a tight dark outfit, such as a bathing suit. The dark outfit will not get majorly affected in terms of staining when you accidentally get the lotion on it. Also, when choosing a dark sunless tanning lotion get one that is closer to your skin tone in order to look natural and effortless.

The best tools to apply the dark sunless tanning lotion are the hands. These will however require a lot of experience to perfect. In order to get the best tanning results, use a sponge paintbrush or a small sponge roller. Use single strokes of it to avoid looking too orange.

Wash your hands immediately you are through using the dark sunless tanning lotion. Preferably, wear a pair of gloves to avoid orange palms. If you have used a bit too much, some hydrogen peroxide dabbed on to the problem areas with a cotton bud will help a lot.

Before applying this product, use some body lotion on elbows and knees. This way, less dark sunless tanning lotion is absorbed here and thus results look quite realistic. Also use some body lotion once you are done to even out the look.

For feet and hands, choose a product lighter than the one you use on your body. The armpits should not be left out as this will make the area pale and the tan will thus look fake. Using a powder puff, apply a little baby powder all over your body to eliminate the sticky effect caused by dark sunless tanning lotion. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
