Factors To Consider When Using The Best Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


As is the rule before carrying out any skin treatment, you must ensure that you have visited your dermatologist. There are quite a number of people that are tempted to use a product. They end up harming their skin since the sun tan lotion they used was dangerous for their skin.

The shade of tanning lotion should be close your natural skin color. This way you will get more natural results. You should also look for a sun tan lotion that is made for your skin type.

Exfoliate and shave. If you are afraid of damaging your skin by shaving, there is no harm in skipping it since it will not by far affect the tanning process. You should however ensure that if you are exfoliating, shaving or carrying out any similar procedure that you do it at least six hours prior to using sun tan lotion so that your skin gets to heal.

Moisturize your skin well so that you can get a very beautiful glow from the tan. Most people make the mistake of using a sun tan lotion on skin that is quite dry, and instead of getting a good golden glow end up getting a very dry ashy complexion. Also hydrate by drinking a lot of water.

Even though you have not worn any makeup, run a makeup remover or a wet wipe over your face. This will help in removing any residue that you might have on your skin. Makeup such as foundation and concealer will prevent the sun tan lotion from being well absorbed. On the other hand deodorant will work two ways, on in making the lotion not get absorbed well and the second in that it will react with the lotion forming a dark green solution.

You will be at a better position to use the sun tan lotion if you have someone apply it on you. This is because they will have a better viewing angle of the entire body. This will ensure that you are fully covered so that you do not end up looking patchy.

Once you have used the sun tan lotion, ensure that it has completely dried off before doing any activity that may cause you to sweat. If you have a fan, you can sit in front of it. It works two ways in that it will protect you from sweating while at the same time accelerating the drying process. If you are in such a hurry and cannot get the sun tan lotion to dry off, a clever trick is to use some hairspray. The spray will give a protective layer while still giving a dry effect.

You should try as much as possible not to shower after you have used the lotion since the warm water might wash off the lotion before it has set. With all this settled, you can now enjoy the beautiful tan that you have. Since the sun tan lotion does not give a permanent tanning effect, you will have to keep repeating the tanning if at all you want to have a golden glow all year round. Take your time and choose the best sun tan lotion.
