Advice For Creating That Ideal Sunless Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Many people strive to create a sun-kissed look that generates an appearance of good health. Today, however, taking the risk of exposure to the dangers of the sun's rays is no longer necessary. With skillful application, sunless tanning products can achieve the same look in a safe way. Following are a few hints about how sunless tanning can work better.

Selection of the right products is the key to achieving the perfect color. There are many on the market today, but the best ones interact with skin cells working only on the outer layer of the epidermis. Sunless tanners that claim they penetrate the under layer should be.

Another key is to ensure that the correct amount is used. Using more sunless tanner than is recommended will not be beneficial. This requires selecting the shade desired that works best with one's skin tone. For those with fair skin, sunless tanners that are extremely dark should be avoided as they make the skin appear mask-like.

Sunless tanning products can be purchased in creams, lotions, sprays, or powders. Lotion lasts longer, but spray tans can reach places individuals usually have difficulty with. Another benefit of sunless sprays is that it goes on more evenly.

Exfoliating the skin prior to applying a sunless product is also important. This will eliminate a splotchy appearance. Skin needs to be limited to length of contact. This is especially important with hands that are known to become darker with exposure to sunless products.

Working with sunless tanners takes some time so individuals need to be prepared to spend 45 minutes to 1 hour applying products and another 3 hours drying. Despite this fact, changes in the industry have made application and results of sunless products easier, faster, and more convenient than ever. There is no reason today that an individual cannot achieve that sun-kissed look that is so popular.
