Discover Tips On Simple Facts About The Darkest Self Tanner Products

By Haywood Hunter


We all like to have a good tan, but using the darkest self tanner products available is not always the best option. There is no doubt that an artificial tan is better for our health than one gained from sitting out in the sun. However, it is amazing how many people still put their health at risk by ignoring the warnings. Is it because the self tan products do not give them the results they want.

The main difficulty with self tan products is that we all have different skin tones and types. There is no guarantee that we will all follow exactly the same procedure when applying the product. Missing out or skimping on some of the process can affect the results. So looking at what we ourselves need to do when using the products can help us to achieve the desired results.

Always read the instructions carefully so you know what you need to do and what else you need to buy. Check the ingredients to ensure there is nothing that can cause an allergic reaction. Make sure that the product is recommended for use on your skin type and natural coloring. If your skin is normally very white, and you purchase the darkest self tanner on the shelf, the results may be disastrous. It is better to build the tan gradually to achieve the best results.

Always follow the instructions and test the tan solution on an unseen patch of skin at least several hours before applying it to the rest of the body. Any allergy to the product will become evident in that time period. It is also the best way to see the results that can be expected when applied to the remainder of the body.

A successful test also allows the user to see how difficult or easy it is to use the product. They can tone down the end color if it is very dark, is streaky or looks too orange by adding some body lotion. Adding lotion should also make the tanning solution easier to apply.

Uneven and streaky results often occur because the tanner is not applied to dry, clean and exfoliated skin. When exfoliating, it is important to pay particular attention to joint areas and feet, to achieve a much smoother tan. Have a wedge of lemon or some cotton wool and toner to hand when applying tanning products. Dabbing areas that are streaky helps to reduce the excess colour.

Different products can take anything from five minutes to a couple of hours to dry into the skin properly. Before they have finished drying, they can leave stains on clothes. Products containing a bronzer will wash off in the shower or the bath even after a few hours. Never go to bed shortly after using a tanning product, or you may ruin your bed clothes.

There are several products that are specifically for use on the face. Even they should never be used near the eyes for safety. Not all tanning products, especially the darkest tanning products, are suitable to be used on the face.
