Factors To Bear In Mind When Choosing The Best Dark Lotion For Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Nowadays, having a glowing tan is the in thing. With an array of ways on how to get a tan, most people are quite confused on which method to follow. A good way to get a tan is the use of dark lotion. There are however a few things to consider when using dark lotion for tanning.

Ask for advice from a professional. Your dermatologist should offer you advice on getting a good dark lotion for tanning. Depending on your skin type, they will tell you which product is best and how you should use it to get the best results.

Exfoliate your skin so that you can take off the dead skin to expose the healthy skin underneath. Also, shave off the unwanted hair so that the dark lotion can be fully absorbed. Take a shower before using the lotion so that your skin can be fresh and look invigorated when tanned.



Ensure that the lotion you are using is safe for you to use. When buying the lotion ensure that the ingredients in it are safe for your skin type. For instance if you have dry skin check to clarify that it will not further dry out your skin. The best thing to do is to take a test spot, whereby you use a little of the product on your body and observe it for a day, to see whether it will have any adverse effect on your skin.

Put on a pair of gloves when using the product. This will prevent you from getting dark palms due to the tanning effect of the product. Apply it to your body while wearing a pair of gloves and then using a piece of sponge to apply the dark lotion to the back of your hands. You can also wash your hands after using the lotion if you do not have a pair of gloves with you.

Add some glycerin to your dark lotion. Dark lotion will only give you color and it will not necessarily give you the glow. Glycerin is a very good product in that it will hydrate your skin and give you a beautiful glow. The benefit of having a moisturized skin is that you will get the glow that will enhance the look of your tan.

Remember to wear some sunscreen on top of the dark lotion. Most tanning lotions do not come with a sun protection factor. Those who end up using them without sunscreen will thus end up getting sunburn. A good trick to ensure that you are safe from the sun is to make a formula of equal parts of the lotion and sunscreen. This way you will never forget to put your sunscreen on.

Do not shower immediately after you get your tan. You may only be allowed to do this if in the label of the dark lotion you have been asked to rinse off the tanning product. If so, rinse with water only as using soap may completely wash off the tan. Also, once you use the product let it dry for some time before putting on your clothes. Take your time and choose wisely.
