The Self Tanner Products Offer A Safer Substitute To Conventional Suntanning

By Haywood Hunter


The sun kissed bronzed look has never gone out of fashion. Many people feel more upbeat and positive when they see a warm tan on their face rather than the chalky, white skin that makes people look washed out. The introduction of the self tanner to the marketplace has revolutionized how we can control our skin color. Today, there are so many to choose from that many consumers are perplexed as to which self tanner is the best for them. Much depends on how much they are willing to spend on the self tanner product.

Streaking can be avoided by moisturizing ahead of time. Certain areas of the body tend to dry out more easily such as the elbows, knees and the fingers. These areas will tend to streak more than the less dry areas. Applying moisturizer to the dry areas ensures a more even tan resulting in a natural look.

The consumer can choose from many different applications such as lotions, oils, mousses and sprays. Depending on what kind of skin you have you will probably prefer one over the other. The most popular and least messy is to use a spray. Using a tan is one of the best ways to avoid getting a streaky tan. This kind of self tanner can be purchased in a spray bottle.

Often people prefer to have another person help spray on the self tanner. The second person can see what areas were missed and quickly correct the errors. This helps to ensure better coverage in those difficult areas that are not easy to reach. Tanning the legs however is not as difficult and the individual can probably do this on their own. Many girls prefer not to wear pantyhose and will self tan their legs with the self tanner spray.

The mousse is also a popular alternative to the more messy lotions. You can easily spread it since it is not runny. It sticks to the skin more readily and produces are more even tan than the lotion.

Sometimes the consumer simply wants to add more color to their face. There is no additional help required when applying a facial self tanner. Always apply a light coat because a little goes a long way. Any streaky areas can be removed with lemon juice applied to a cotton pad.

For people with dry skin, oil has been proven to be a good self tanner with natural moisturizers. Plant oils in particular are recommended for keeping the skin from any drying effects the tanning ingredients may cause. The natural oils help to illuminate the skin allowing for a natural glow. The natural fragrance of the oils makes for a pleasant experience when using natural products.

Tan boosters are also used to enhance the first coat of the tan produced by the self tanner. They will help to even out the color and enhance the tan even more. Some tan boosters create a shimmer as well adding a special quality to the skin. It's recommended to read the package directions of the self tanner to ascertain that the tan enhancer and self tanner can be used together.
