Why You Should Use Sunless Tanning?

In recent years an alternative to regular tanning has been to use sun-beds or booths; it has become the way to ensure a tan twelve months of the year. It has become a recognized fact that too much sun is dangerous for our skin and causes many problems which is why the new artificial methods have proved so popular. Of course it was only a matter of time before the spray tanning system became popular owing to how quick it is. The spray system appears to be more consistent than other artificial methods like crams or lotions where streak marks are not uncommon.

In an effort to win even more followers, spray tanning manufacturers have developed systems where you can apply the tan at home. Irrespective of the system you decide to use, there are some steps you can take to improve the look of your fake tan. Initially you need to exfoliate which will eliminate all the dead skin cells from your body. What you don’t want is for people to recognize your tan is a fake by noticing paler patches of skin where the dead skin cells have dropped from your body.

Once this process is complete, it is advisable to prepare your skin further by applying a moisturizing cream (or lotion) to it which will make the agent easier to apply. Before applying a tanning agent, whether bottle or cream, ensure you are wearing gloves or the orange palms that will follow will give the game away. Lighter coats should always be applied to the joints and feet as they will appear darker, which is a dead giveaway that fake tan has been applied. After a spray tanning application you will want to use a towel to remove any excess that may drip and run.

Try to stay as still as possible whilst any self tanning agent dries as it might smear and cause uneven patches. These agents are notoriously good at marking clothing once they have been applied so you are advised to be careful how soon you get ready afterwards and what you intend to wear. If possible always choose clothing that is darker and preferably something that is old and won’t matter if a stain is left on it. Now that you have this information it should be much easier having a fake tan without anyone knowing.
