How To Achieve A Beautiful Bronze With The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Of all the trends Coco Chanel started, the tan is most lasting. Before she stepped off the plane from her holiday, showing her bronzed body to the world, it was trendy to be pale. There are few things that add to beauty as effectively as an all over bronze glow. These days you can achieve the look using the best self tanning lotion.



We're now aware that lying on the roof on tinfoil is dangerous. That's why bottled tan was invented. You could visit the salon to be professionally sun kissed but it's far simpler and cheaper to buy the effect in a container.

Using a bottle to bronze can be intimidating if you've never done it before. We've all seen that orange faced, streaky look made popular by television anchor men and there's little as embarrassing as achieving that look yourself. With this guide, you'll be able to tan with confidence.



One aspect you'll want to avoid when making your brand selection will be the odor typically present in these creams. It's produced by the ingredient that dyes the epidermis, called DHA. You won't be able to tell how strong it is immediately because it only matures a few hours after application. Test your cream on a modest section of skin and see what develops in time before committing.

Some products are able to mask the odor using additional fragrances. Others use less of the active ingredient. The latter products will need to be applied in layers as they won't create an immediately strong color.

Keep in mind that some lotions take hours to dry. It's pointless to waste so much time. Simply look for a product that dries in a few moments.

One disadvantage of a few hours' hanging around is that the product stains fabric. You're sure to end up with tinged couches and gowns. It's impossible to wear lotion wet on your skin for that long without rubbing it off in places, which will give you a patchy look.

Look for a product that suits your personality, too. Spray on self tans are ideal for beginners because of their ease of use. Creams are great for the seasoned user and those with a little more time.

Some creams are appropriate for face and body. Most are not. Take care with this lest you end up with a face too dark to be sun kissed. If you have a lighter skin, a product that gives a subtle glow will look best. Olive skins need a darker tone to see any result at all.

The perfect self tan isn't enough. There are preparations required to create a smooth hue. Wait half an hour after showering, so that your skin can regain its natural acidity. Exfoliate well to create a smooth body to work with. Use a light moisturizer on your body and a heavy one on very dry areas which are apt to gather more color.

It's easy to get that healthy smolder without sun damage. Excellent preparation is a must. However, never forget to choose the very best self tanning lotion.
