Tips for using sunless tanners

February 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Even though you are wearing a self-tanner do not forgetĀ  sunscreen. Some self-tanners may have SPF added, but you may still have to add more.

Wear gloves. This will keep the palms of your hands clean and help to even out the tanning lotion.

When choosing a self-tanner, read the label. Look for Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This active ingredient is what causes the outer layer of your skin to darken.

Take a shower before beginning your self-tanning session. Exfoliate any dry or rough areas to give the lotion a smooth surface to cling to. If possible, shave the night before.

Be sure to apply your self-tanner in very thin layers. This will speed up the drying time and prevent too much color from being applied.

Use a makeup sponge to apply self-tanners to your face.
