Skin may tend to look pale and lifeless, especially during winter. To get it to acquire a lifelike glow, one needs to get a good tan. Tanning is the process by which the skin acquires a darker tone due to exposure to the sun. With the busy lifestyles nowadays, no one actually has the time to stay in the sun in order to get a tan. Luckily, there is dark sunless tanning lotion that gives one the same results without having to burn in the sun. There are a few steps to follow when using this product, to get best results.

The first rule about applying dark sunless tanning lotion is that you should not shave before using it. Shaving is bound to make the skin quite delicate and applying tanning lotion to it will make the situation worse. If you have very sensitive skin, and you really need to shave your body, shave at least a day before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. Some people are lucky enough to have skin that can endure this, but do not take the risk.

It is very essential that you exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin. This dead skin is known to end up looking flaky once the dark sunless tanning lotion is applied to it. In order to get a good exfoliation, use a good loofah or a body brush with firm bristles. Also, use a good body scrub specially designed for sensitive skin. This will protect your skin from the harsh tanning lotion.

When applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, wear your tightest bathing suit, especially in a dark color. The dark color will ensure that it is not stained by the lotion in the event that you get some of the lotion on it. It should be tight to ensure that you get maximum coverage of the lotion, as well as to prevent tanning lines. Also, get a product that is most similar to your skin tone.

Applying the dark sunless tanning lotion to your body is quite tricky. One wrong step can end up in major disaster. This is why it is best to use a sponge body brush or even a sponge roller. Make sure that you apply it evenly to make it look realistic. Use only one stroke over an area to avoid looking too tan.

Wash your hands immediately you are through using the dark sunless tanning lotion. Preferably, wear a pair of gloves to avoid orange palms. If you have used a bit too much, some hydrogen peroxide dabbed on to the problem areas with a cotton bud will help a lot.

Before applying this product, use some body lotion on elbows and knees. This way, less dark sunless tanning lotion is absorbed here and thus results look quite realistic. Also use some body lotion once you are done to even out the look.

For darker areas such as feet and hands use a lighter product. Most people tend to forget their armpits when they apply this product and end up with pale armpits. When applying over armpits skip deodorant to prevent a reaction. Dark sunless tanning lotion is known to be quite sticky at times. If you feel the sticky sensation on your skin, try applying some baby powder to ease the situation. Use a powder puff to avoid looking unevenly dry. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
