Self Tanning Lotions
Self tanning lotions are perfect for those who are terrified of the sun's harmful UV rays. The sun is known to cause skin cancer or mature skin, so you have to be careful if you want to sunbathe.
Meanwhile, a self tanning lotion is safe and can be used all throughout the year. But while an indoor tanning lotion can make your skin glow, it also has some disadvantages when not used properly or carefully. When you want to engage in indoor tanning and use self-tanning lotions, here are some things you need to know:
- Indoor tanning lotions can cause uneven color streaking when applied thickly to skin.
- A self tanning lotion can stain your clothes and underwear.
- Indoor tanning using self-tanners can leave dark areas on joints.
- If you pick out a tanning lotion that doesn't match your skin color, the outcome will be disastrous. Your skin might come out looking too yellow or orange.
Self-Tanning Lotion Precautions
Then you plan to do your own indoor tanning by the use of self-tanners, be sure to exfoliate your body a few days before applying your self tanning lotion.
Take out all those dead skins that will bring uneven color streaks when you use a tanning lotion. Avoid moisturizing on the day of your tanning; you can do this a few days before the actual indoor tanning.
When applying a self tanning lotion, do it evenly. The skin will absorb the stuff and it will help avoid color streaks, but just in case, dabbing it with lemon will evenly smooth it out.
Lastly, choose a color that will be perfect for your skin. Try a tanning lotion with a lower DHA concentration, and then give yourself more than one application. But remember to experiment only on one area of your skin to avoid problems.
