Against Hair Loss

We all like to have a good tan, but using the darkest self tanner products available is not always the best option. There is no doubt that an artificial tan is better for our health than one gained from sitting out in the sun. However, it is amazing how many people still put their health at risk by ignoring the warnings. Is it because the self tan products do not give them the results they want.

The main difficulty with self tan products is that we all have different skin tones and types. There is no guarantee that we will all follow exactly the same procedure when applying the product. Missing out or skimping on some of the process can affect the results. So looking at what we ourselves need to do when using the products can help us to achieve the desired results.

Always read the instructions carefully so you know what you need to do and what else you need to buy. Check the ingredients to ensure there is nothing that can cause an allergic reaction. Make sure that the product is recommended for use on your skin type and natural coloring. If your skin is normally very white, and you purchase the darkest self tanner on the shelf, the results may be disastrous. It is better to build the tan gradually to achieve the best results.

Test the product on a hidden patch of skin a good number of hours before using on the rest of the body. This allows time for any reaction to the product to show up. It gives the product time to develop and should provide a good indication of what the result will be when applied to the rest of the body.

A test is also useful for the user to see how easy or difficult the product is to use. If they find it hard to apply smoothly and the results are streaky, they can add some body lotion to the tanning product. Body lotion always helps to dilute the color if the test patch comes out too dark.

Applying a tanning product to skin that is not dry, clean and properly exfoliated will lead to streaks and an uneven tan. To achieve the best results, joints and feet need particular attention during exfoliation and a lighter application of the product. Using a wedge of lemon or some toner and cotton wool can help to reduce the color in areas that are streaked.

Being in too much of a rush and not allowing the product to set can result in clothes being stained and the tan can become patchy. Particularly, products that have bronzer as an ingredient can be washed or rubbed off too easily. Users should always wait a few hours after applying the product before showering or bathing. Going to bed before the product is dry can ruin the bedclothes with stains.

Many tanning products are recommended specifically for use on the body or the face, rarely for both. Using one of the darkest tanning products on the face can produce a very heavy tanned appearance, but it will likely be too dark and not look natural.
