Tips On Readying Your Skin For The Application Of The Best Sunless Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


It's not enough that you own a bottle of an at-home tanning solution highly suggested by a friend or family. You also need to ready your skin for the upcoming cosmetic procedure that does not concern unnecessary sun exposure. Below you will find some of the things that should be performed just before you start using the best sunless tanner on the market.

No matter if you have the lotion, cream, gel or spray kind of at-home tanning product, an even application is necessary. This helps prevent the formation of ugly streaks and blotches that will surely reveal to the world that your sun-kissed glow is not the real thing. That is why carefully reading the application instructions provided by the manufacturer is definitely a must beforehand.

Prior to turning your dream complexion into a reality, ensure that your skin is free of excess oils, dirt and even unwanted hair. Having any of them around will keep you from being happy with the outcome. It's for certain that they will hinder the proper absorption of your chosen at-home tanner, thus failing to meet your high expectations.

About 24 hours before you darken your complexion minus the sun, shave the skin. Removing unwanted hair on your body is a great way to prevent a splotchy outcome from happening. Doing it 24 hours before you get an indoor tan gives the skin plenty of time to heal. Otherwise, you may end up with irritated skin accompanied by a stinging sensation.

If waxing is your chosen manner of hair removal, see to it that it is done at least a couple of days before you obtain a tan inside the home. This will give the skin sufficient amounts of time to recover from the waxing procedure. What's more, allowing not less than 2 days to pass prior to tanning helps make sure that there is no more waxy residue sitting on the skin.

Taking a shower just before you start getting a tan indoors is highly important. This removes both dirt and excess oils that can keep the ingredients of your chosen tanner from doing their job properly. Besides, taking a shower 4 to 6 hours after applying the tanning solution is not recommended to allow the active ingredient to fully develop.

Exfoliating while in the shower is another important step that should be taken prior to getting a tan minus the sun. This process removes excess dead cells sitting on your skin. The presence of too much and uneven dead cells can cause the resulting color to look patchy. When exfoliating, opt for a loofah or exfoliating cloth. It's also a great idea to use an exfoliating solution specially formulated for indoor tanning. Never use an exfoliating product that contains oils because it will only prevent the full absorption of your at-home tanning product.

All of these are very simple tips on prepping up your skin for some indoor tanning. Carry out these steps and you can rest assured that the outcome will be very natural and impressive. See to it that you carefully follow the application steps provided by the tanner's manufacturer for best results.
