How To Achieve A Beautiful Bronze Using 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.



In an age of skin cancer, we avoid the sun. Self tan is today's solution. You have two choices: spend a fortune on a salon treatment or conveniently and inexpensively buy the golden hue in a bottle.

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.

A slow drying salve is likely to rub off onto all you come into contact with. These creams stain, so you may end up with discolored furniture, towels and clothing. The other negative aspect about the slow drying cream is that it's more likely to streak your skin since it's incredibly difficult to remain entirely still and upright for long periods and you're likely to rub off in patches.

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.

Even if you have the best tanner possible, if you don't prepare your body, disaster can strike. Shower first, using a good exfoliator to slough off dead skin that will give an uneven look. Cover yourself with a light moisturizing cream, using an oilier one on ankles, wrists and elbows, which tend to darken too much. Then wait half an hour for your skin to regain its natural PH balance.

Gaining a darkened flush without damaging your skin is simple. Creating good body groundwork is vital. Even more important is your selection of the best self tanning lotion.
