How For Preparing One's Skin Prior To Application Of A Sun Self Tanning Solution

By Haywood Hunter


If looking for a way to have a very nice looking tan this summer without exposing the skin to the damage that can be caused by the UV rays, a Sun Self Tanning product may be the best choice. While Sun Self Tanning creates lotions and spray tans that use some of the best products on the market, it is important that an individual prepare the skin before using the kit. This will often make the difference between a natural looking tan and a streaky mess.

Users should avoid waxing the same day they plan to apply Sun Self Tanning. The wax used for hair removal coats the skin and will not allow the solution to absorb into the skin. It is essential that one waits a minimum of one day after waxing before use of these products to provide the best results.

Take time to exfoliate every area where the Sun Self Tanning tan is to be applied. Dead skin cells can absorb the product and then slough off, leaving an uneven result. While it is important to exfoliate, avoid salt and sugar scrubs. These products contain an oil that will leave a residue on the skin. This oil makes it hard for the skin to absorb the tanner solution resulting in a streaky tan.

Before applying Sun Self Tanning agents one should shower using warm water and mild soap. The water should be set to a temperature that is neither too hot or too cold. Water that is too hot can create more dead skin cells. Cold water can close the pores and stop absorption of the product. The individual should not use a moisturizing body wash but a mild soap.

Shave the legs before applying the Sun Self Tanning product. While waxing is out, unwanted hair needs to be removed. Shaving also helps with exfoliation. Applying the tanner over hair will cause a blotchy tan. For men using the Sun Self Tanning kit a more natural result will be achieved if the chest and arms are shaved first.

It is important to ensure the body is completely dry before applying the Sun Self Tanning solution. Moisture can cause the product to slide off one's skin before it changes the color. While knees and elbows tend to over absorb the product and should be protected with a small amount of moisturizing lotion, the rest of the body should be dry. This will give the best results with the kit to tan the skin.

Wear disposable gloves when applying the Sun Self Tanning solution. The gloves prevent too much of the product from absorbing in a person's skin of the hands and causing them to be darker than one wants. Once the product is applied to the remainder of the body, the gloves should be removed and the product applied to the hands.

With proper preparation, Sun Self Tanning products offer a natural looking finish to the body. Read and follow all directions printed on the label. This ensures the tan received is looks natural and lasts the maximum amount of time before needing to be re-applied.
