Important Steps You Should Carry Out Before Using A Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Indoor tanning is a risk-free and an effective way to enjoy a stunning complexion. A self tanner is available in the form of spray, lotion, cream or foam. Regardless of which one you like, all of them rely on the same ingredient known as DHA. There are certain steps you have to do just before using the product of your preference in order to end up with a fantastic outcome.

Step foot in the shower to cleanse the skin before getting an indoor tan. It's important to have those excess dirt and oils removed thoroughly to ensure that nothing is going to keep DHA from being absorbed and springing into action. It's not unlikely for the end color to be lighter on areas where there are dirt and oils, and darker on parts where the skin is clear.

Remove excess dead cells resting on your skin's topmost layer by means of exfoliation. DHA works by causing dead skin cells to darken and sport a golden brown color just like a real suntan. It's a must for the uppermost part of your skin to be smooth so that you could enjoy an even outcome. It's a good idea to use a loofah in the shower or a body gel made for exfoliating.

Shaving is another step that needs to be done just before getting a tan inside the home. Ensure that there are no unwanted body hairs present most especially on areas where you intend to apply the sunless tanning product of your liking. If you don't get rid of those excess hairs, DHA may only collect around them and cause a blotchy effect.

If your preferred hair removal method is waxing, it's a good idea to have it done at least a day before having an indoor tan. This helps ensure that there are no more waxy substance left that could keep DHA from working completely. Also, allowing at least 24 hours to pass allows any form of skin irritation to heal.

See to it that you are completely dry all over before you begin the indoor tanning task. Water can dilute the lotion, gel, cream or spray, causing a less desirable fake tan. Certainly, it can be very exciting to get started with your sunless tanning. However, see to it that you towel down thoroughly to ensure that no excess skin moisture will get in the way.

Do not apply any cosmetic product that you use on a regular basis. It is true that today's indoor tanners tend to give off a distinctive fishy smell. This is normal most especially if the product of your preference uses DHA as its active ingredient. It's a bad idea, however, to use any scented cosmetic item like cologne beforehand just to mask the odor DHA emits.

Save your knees, elbows, ankles and the rest from ending up darker by applying moisturizing lotion just before using the indoor tanner of your choice. This is the only cosmetic product that you should use beforehand. Take note that it has to be applied on dry areas only to prevent the excessive absorption of DHA which could result in a very dark coloration.
