Tips On Prepping Up Your Skin For The Use Of The Best Sunless Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


It's not enough that you have an indoor tanning solution loved by so many of your family and friends who are into indoor tanning. You also have to prepare your skin in the proper manner prior to the application. Continue reading to know some of the most important things that need to be carried out before you start using that best sunless tanner you just ordered.

Even application is of utmost importance no matter if the product comes in the form of spray, lotion or gel. This helps in preventing the formation of blotches or streaks that do not appear if your tan is the real kind. Before applying the product all over or only on certain body parts, make sure that you have thoroughly read the instructions on the packaging.

You also have to ensure that your skin is free of dirt, excess oils and unwanted hair before springing into action to sport your dream complexion. The presence of any one of these can make the outcome less impressive. With these unnecessary things around, the active ingredient of the indoor tanning solution may not be fully absorbed by the skin.

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 your preferred hair removal method is waxing, make sure that it is done a couple of days before you start applying your chosen indoor tanner. This gives the skin on your face or body plenty of time to bounce back from the stress of waxing. Also, providing sufficient time between waxing and at-home tanning helps ensure that the remaining waxy substance on the skin is completely removed.

Hitting the shower before beginning to apply your chosen tanning product is highly recommended. Doing this eliminates dirt and grime, both of which can keep the at-home tanner from being absorbed and doing its job. After all, you won't be able to take a shower 4 to 6 hours after smoothing the product all over in order to give it plenty of time to 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.

These are some very easy tips on preparing your skin for the application of a sunless tanning product. Perform all of them and you are guaranteed to obtain a sun-kissed glow that looks so real. Also, remember to carefully apply the tanner by following the directions provided by its manufacturer.
