Essential Things To Carry Out Before And After Applying A Suntan Lotion

By Haywodo Hunter


You really don't have to sit under the blistering sun for minutes just to end up with a lovely bronze complexion. This is true most especially if you apply an excellent suntan lotion available on the current market. Other than choosing the right UV-free tanner, there are also a few things that you need to do before and after using it in order to enjoy a stunning outcome.

Prior to smoothing on the product all over your body, make sure that your skin is really clean. The tanning ingredient called DHA can perform its role better if there are no dirt and grease that keep it from being absorbed. Before you grab that bottle of your preferred self tanner and apply the contents, make sure that you hit the shower first and thoroughly clean your skin.

Exfoliating is another important thing that you should do. This process has to be done with the use of a scrub, loofah or sponge while you are in the shower. If you have the budget for a bottle of an exfoliating shower gel, it's a good idea to buy one. You can be sure that it will work best with the UV-free tanner of your choice because it contains no oily components.

Shave the skin most especially right after taking a shower when those strands are still soft. It's not unlikely for you to end up with a mottled effect if there are unwanted hairs around. That's because the lotion may collect where the hair strands are, causing these areas to appear darker than the rest. If you prefer waxing, make sure that it is done a day ahead.

Grab a bottle of your daily moisturizer and apply some of it on your knees and elbows. This helps keep these parts from sporting a deeper hue as they tend to soak up more DHA due to their dryness and texture. You may also smear moisturizer on your fingernails especially if you don't plan on putting on latex gloves or barrier cream while applying the UV-free tanner.

Once you are through smoothing on the sunless tanning product on your body, see to it that it remains there for 6-8 hours. This means that you have to skip taking a shower just to get rid of that unmistakable odor that DHA tends to produce while it is developing. It also means that you have to avoid doing all sorts of physical activities that leave you sweaty afterwards.

Keeping your skin hydrated once the expected color appears is a good idea. Doing this helps slow down the exfoliation of your skin's topmost layer, keeping the golden brown color around for as long as a week. Grab the bottle of your favorite hand and body moisturizing lotion as often as possible and use it all over to keep the lovely color intact.

The moment you notice that the color has slightly faded, exfoliate the next time you hit the shower. This gets rid of excess dead skin cells that tend to make the fake suntan look uneven. It's a good idea to polish the skin once more especially if you are planning on reapplying the indoor tanner again in order to maintain your gorgeous skin tone.
