Hints Of Achieving A Good Fake Tan On

By Haywood Hunter


A tanned skin always appears sexy and healthy. In the past, the trick to getting a good tan was to spend quality time outside under the sun. This is not the case anymore. Research now has it that the sun is a major cause of skin cancer. In addition, it dries the skin up, causing it to age faster. A good alternative is to get a fake tan.

If you cannot afford to get tanned in a salon, you can use your own self tanner, at least on the face. To do this, you should pull your hair up and tie it. Next, you clean and exfoliate the skin and apply under-eye cream. You then blend moisturizer and self tanner in equal portions and apply all over the neck and face. Make sure you apply just enough to give natural results.

Let it sit for a minimum of three hours. After that, apply a bronzer on the parts that would get hit by the sun most. This includes the forehead, nose and cheeks. This evens the tone and gives it a more natural look. Never forget to apply on your upper ears and the lobes. It is a tanning disaster to forget these too, yet it is so common a mistake to make. No one wants to look like an elf.

If you choose to also tan the rest of the body, then start by exfoliating it too. Since dry skin absorbs excess tanner, make sure you pay extra attention to these parts. You must also shave as much as possible. Start by tanning your legs and hands, applying the tanner all over until they are completely covered. After that, work on the hips, stomach and torso.

When removing the tanner from your hands, ensure that you do not wash your hands completely otherwise you will remove it from the top of your arms. Use a wet cloth instead, and wipe the middle of your fingers as well as the palms thoroughly. You may use a body shimmer on your arms and legs.

It is very important to pick the correct tanner. Several types exist, including face, airbrush, cream, enhancers or bronzing gels. A common way of getting a natural look is to apply them, with the assistance of lotion, to create a crossfade effect.

If you make a mistake, do not panic. Just use a little bit of toothpaste or astringent toner to get it off. In the event that your fake tan is not dark enough, just redo the entire process.
