Against Hair Loss

Being tanned helps you to have a skin that appears healthy and sexy. It has long been believed that to get a good tan, one should go outside and have some time in the sun. This is not always the case. In fact, many people are now considering getting a fake tan instead since the sun has been known to cause cancer as well as causing us to age faster.

The best way to getting tanned is to go to the salon. However, this is often very expensive, yet there are good ways of getting tanned using self tanners. If you decide to tan your face, start by scrubbing your skin and then applying a blend of moisturizer and tanner in equal parts. Make sure you cover the entire neck and face.

Allow it to be absorbed and to take effect for at least a couple of hours. You can then apply the bronzer to create a natural effect on the parts that get hit by the sun most like the nose, forehead and cheeks. When applying the tanner, do not miss the earlobes and upper ears. So often people forget to do these parts and they end up looking like elves.

For the rest of your body, take the following steps. You should exfoliate the skin very well first as you take a shower. Make sure you concentrate on the elbows and knees very well. Also ensure you shave. Start by applying the tanner on your limbs first, and cover every part. After that, do your torso, hips and stomach.

Washing hands will likely get the tanner off the back of your hands. To clean up after applying, use a wet piece of cloth instead. Wipe your palms and the middle of your fingers very well. You can opt to use a body shimmer on the hands and legs for extra vibrancy.

There are several tanners in the market, so be careful on the one you pick. Out of the several face, airbrush or cream tanners in the market, as well as bronzing gels and enhancers, be careful to pick one that will best work with your skin. You can even combine them to create a crossfading effect. This is achieved with the help of a little lotion.

Do not be too scared if you mess up. You can remove the messed up parts using toothpaste or astringent toners. Repeat the process if your fake tan is not dark enough.
