How To Prepare The Skin Prior To Applying A Sun Self Tanning Product

By Haywood Hunter


If looking for a way to have a very nice looking tan this summer without exposing the skin to the damage that can be caused by the UV rays, a Sun Self Tanning product may be the best choice. While Sun Self Tanning creates lotions and spray tans that use some of the best products on the market, it is important that an individual prepare the skin before using the kit. This will often make the difference between a natural looking tan and a streaky mess.

Users should avoid waxing the same day they plan to apply Sun Self Tanning. The wax used for hair removal coats the skin and will not allow the solution to absorb into the skin. It is essential that one waits a minimum of one day after waxing before use of these products to provide the best results.

Take time to exfoliate every area where the Sun Self Tanning tan is to be applied. Dead skin cells can absorb the product and then slough off, leaving an uneven result. While it is important to exfoliate, avoid salt and sugar scrubs. These products contain an oil that will leave a residue on the skin. This oil makes it hard for the skin to absorb the tanner solution resulting in a streaky tan.

Take time to shower with warm water and mild soap. Make sure the water temperature is neither too cold or too hot. Burning the skin with water causes the top layer of skin to die. Cold water can cause pores to close so the Sun Self Tanning product has a difficult time absorbing. Do not use a moisturizing body wash before using Sun Self Tanning, as it can make absorption of the product more difficult.

Shave each area before applying a Sun Self Tanning agent. It is important that hair be cut as close to one's skin as possible. Shaving also helps to exfoliate the body. Attempting to apply the product over hair is one of the main reasons for blotchy tans. Men using the product will want to shave the chest and arms if applying to these areas.

Before applying a Sun Self Tanning solution be sure to dry the body completely. Excess moisture can cause the solution to slide off one's skin without ever absorbing. Knees and elbows tend to absorb too much of the tanner, so apply a small amount of moisturizing lotion to these areas before applying the product. Do not use moisturizers in other locations before applying the product.

Protect the hands with disposable gloves when applying a Sun Self Tanning agent. This keeps them from absorbing too much of the product and ensures a more even and natural looking tan. Once the process using Sun Self Tanning for the body is complete, take off the gloves and apply to the hands

Sun Self Tanning solutions offer a safe and beautiful tan if they are use correctly. Consumers will want to take time to read and follow any manufacture's instructions that are provided with the tanner. These directions can ensure the tan that is received is the best possible and lasts as long as possible.
