How To Achieve A Beautiful Bronze With The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Of all the trends Coco Chanel started, the tan is most lasting. Before she stepped off the plane from her holiday, showing her bronzed body to the world, it was trendy to be pale. There are few things that add to beauty as effectively as an all over bronze glow. These days you can achieve the look using the best self tanning lotion.



Now that slathering yourself with baby oil and lying on the beach is no longer considered the smartest thing to do, we've come up with new ways of achieving that summer flush. You could go to a salon for a professional airbrushing. However the most reliable and inexpensive of method is self tan.

Using a bottle to bronze can be intimidating if you've never done it before. We've all seen that orange faced, streaky look made popular by television anchor men and there's little as embarrassing as achieving that look yourself. With this guide, you'll be able to tan with confidence.



Most products have typified the terrible aroma attached with these tanners. It comes from the chemical, DHA, contained in all these lotions. It only starts to reek with a few hours' contact with flesh, so there's no use taking a whiff of the bottle to test it. Simply slather it on a wrist and see what develops in time before you make your selection.

Some products are able to mask the odor using additional fragrances. Others use less of the active ingredient. The latter products will need to be applied in layers as they won't create an immediately strong color.

Of prime importance is drying time. In some cases you have to waste 3 hours standing upright before you're able to dress. Surprisingly, many lotions require this much drying time. Instead find a brand that only requires ten minutes to complete the process.

A slow drying salve is likely to rub off onto all you come into contact with. These creams stain, so you may end up with discolored furniture, towels and clothing. The other negative aspect about the slow drying cream is that it's more likely to streak your skin since it's incredibly difficult to remain entirely still and upright for long periods and you're likely to rub off in patches.

Look for a product that suits your personality, too. Spray on self tans are ideal for beginners because of their ease of use. Creams are great for the seasoned user and those with a little more time.

It's often inappropriate to use the same tanner for both face and body. Lighter complexions shouldn't go overboard with dark hues. Deeper complexions will see little difference if they use a product that's too light.

The perfect self tan isn't enough. There are preparations required to create a smooth hue. Wait half an hour after showering, so that your skin can regain its natural acidity. Exfoliate well to create a smooth body to work with. Use a light moisturizer on your body and a heavy one on very dry areas which are apt to gather more color.

It's easy to get that healthy smolder without sun damage. Excellent preparation is a must. However, never forget to choose the very best self tanning lotion.
