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.
I've tried them all! And found there is a huge difference in quality. Some are horrible.....they streaked, made my skin look dirty, or turned into an odd color.
Others gave me a beautiful natural golden color. I've been using and experimenting with self tanners for for almost 15 years -- does anyone remember the first bronzer made by Copper Tone? It came out around 1980 and turned your skin orange!!. I can tell you from experience which ones work and which ones don't!
Sunless tanning gives you the bronze without the bake -- and really improves the way your skin looks. It can even hide enlarged pores or at least make them less noticeable. It can also make your face and body look thinner. But you probably already know about these benefits!
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 5-10 days depending on your skin and your habits. If you swim often or sweat a lot - you may need to apply more often.
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
