How to Apply Self-Tanning Lotion Correctly

It’s good to note that everyone’s skin cycle is different, and it takes five to ten days for most outer skin cells to shed.  It’s good also to know that your skins also shed quicker when you sweat while swimming and during summer. It is best to choose your favorite self-tanning lotion as there is an endless to choose from.  Some tanners wash off right in the shower while other last for a week or more.

Most of these products emphasize that you reapply the self-tanner for about every three days to maintain your tan. Your dead cells are usually sloughed off from the surface of your skin, creating an entirely new epidermis. With the number of lotions, gels, and sprays containing DHA, which are prone to be useful, there are other products like the tanning lotions which contain amino acid tyrosine; that stimulate and increase melanin formation thus accelerating the tanning process.

Hot Tips for Proper Application!

• Start by exfoliating yourself; you can do this by removing dead cells from your face and body in the shower after that use an exfoliant to your dry skin. You can do this a few days before you apply the self-tanner. Repeat this process several until you get to apply your self-tanner. If your skin is skin is oily or normal prone to spots, use BHA exfoliant to exfoliate your body.
• Use a resist pore-refining treatment for your face. For your hand, that can look natural, apply a self-tanner as you would with a moisturizer then wipe the palm quickly with a slightly soapy washcloth. Later on, use a polish remover to carefully clean between your nails, cuticle areas, and the nails. Use a makeup sponge to apply a self-tanner to the back of your hands, hairline, temples, and tops of your feet. Be careful about these areas not to change their color. Make sure you wash your hands every few minutes, or you wear gloves when applying the self-tanner. If you don’t, you might end up with orange palms and cuticles
• Upon applications, do not swim or exercise for at least three hours. Take the time to check whether there are areas you have missed, or there are any splashes. Wait for at least fifteen minutes before getting dressed or going to bed as the self-tanner can stain your clothes.

Skin-care products such as AHAs, BHA, topical scrubs, and topical disinfectants can affect the self-tanners action on your skin or even eliminate the color by exfoliating the surface skin cells (self-tanners only interact on the surface of the skin). It is best not to apply these products in the evening. You use a self-tanner. However, if you must do so, wait for at least two to three hours before you do.

Be sure to reapply the self-tanner whenever you feel like. It will start fading away in about three to four days as the layers of the skin surface sheds. Always tan correctly, learn about the common mistakes made while self-tanning, and get tips on how to look amazing!!
