Advice For Achieving That Perfect Sunless Tan

By Haywood Hunter


A natural sun-kissed glow is highly desirable today. One reason is because it is associated with good health. This can be easily achieved with the right sunless tanning products. However, to get a sunless look that appears real it also requires skillful application. Here are some tips for getting the tan you want throughout the year.

Selection of the right products is the key to achieving the perfect color. There are many on the market today, but the best ones interact with skin cells working only on the outer layer of the epidermis. Sunless tanners that claim they penetrate the under layer should be.

Another key is to ensure that the correct amount is used. Using more sunless tanner than is recommended will not be beneficial. This requires selecting the shade desired that works best with one's skin tone. For those with fair skin, sunless tanners that are extremely dark should be avoided as they make the skin appear mask-like.

Sunless tanning products can be purchased in creams, lotions, sprays, or powders. Lotion lasts longer, but spray tans can reach places individuals usually have difficulty with. Another benefit of sunless sprays is that it goes on more evenly.

Prior to applying sunless products, it is important to prepare the skin. Exfoliating skin surfaces will eliminate splotchy effects. Equally important is making sure that surfaces are not exposed to a sunless product too long. The palms of the hands are one example that become dark unless hands are washed frequently.

Sunless products take time to apply properly and should be allowed to dry thoroughly. Plan on spending 45 minutes to 1 hour to apply the product and about 3 hours drying time. Fortunately, changes in the industry continue to improve sunless tanners so there is no reason you cannot achieve the look desired within a very short time.
