A Self Tanner Can Give You A Beautiful Even Skin Tone - Without Sun Damage


A self tanner or a sunless tanning cream is a great way to improve your skin tone and hide blemishes without makeup. If you haven't tried a sunless tanning product in while because you had bad results - funny color or streaks -- it's time to try them again. They have gotten so much better and the colors are so natural. I've been using and experimenting with self tanners for for almost 15 years and absolutely love them. I can tell you from experience which ones work and which ones don't!

Sunless tanning gives you the bronze without the bake -- and in my opinion is one of the fastest and easiest ways to improve the way your skin looks. It can even hide enlarged pores or at least make them less noticeable.

These products mimic a bronzy sun tan, even out skin tone, hide blemishes, smooth your appearance and eliminate the need for face makeup. It can also make a wide face look a little thinner.

Self Tanner - Application Tip

The best time to apply it is after using an exfoliating scrub, like baking soda and sugar. If you do the facial scrub at night, you can apply a sunless tanning product in the morning. By the time you get to work, your skin will look great.

They take about 2-4 hours to develop and will last 3-4 days depending on other products you may use on your face.

What Type of Self Tanner Is Best

The most popular sunless tanning product -- and is a favorite with celebrities like Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Ripa, and Britney Spears -- is called Fake Bake

This is one of the few fake tanning products that guarantees a nice rich bronze tan color – regardless of your skin color.

This is also one of the few products that doesn’t contain preservatives and is loaded with botanical extracts and moisturizers. Also, it’s great on sensitive skin, won’t clog pores and BEST OF ALL – Won’t stain clothes.

How To Use Fake Tanners For Best Results

  • Make sure you exfoliate well, this will ensure a smooth even color application
  • After washing or exfoliating, rinse and dry your skin well. Do not apply in a damp or steam bathroom or before exercise. Moisture permits the tanner from absorbing well
  • Apply a small amount to your hand, whether you’re using a cream, mouse or spray. Then rub the tanner between your hands and apply to face like you would a moisturizer.
  • Make sure to start at the top of your forehead and work all the way down to your chin and neck. Apply to entire face, including eye lids and be sure to get to the edge of your hairline and ears
  • If this is first time, apply just one application and see how it develops. I usually, apply at least two applications now that I’m sure how it will look
  • Make sure to wash your hands well with soap and water….I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had tanned fingers
  • I usually wait about ½ hour before applying any make-up or sunscreen. Again, because any moisture or water my inhibit the tanner from being absorbed
