If you want to be proud of your body then think about using a self tanning product. It is a safe way to avoid the harmful rays of the sun but still make you look and feel amazing. Your body will be attractive to the opposite sex, too.

There are numerous brands and types on sale so you have to make sure that the product you use will result in an even tan that looks like the real thing. All of them contain Dihydroxyacetone that is known as DHA. It is this ingredient that darkens the skin.

Avoid lotions that make your skin look orange. Do not use a self tanning product that has a distinctive odor. Some lotions need to be applied more regularly than others, which makes it a time consuming activity. Some products cause a streak whilst others stain clothing.

If you are trying out a tanning product for the first time, use on a discrete area of your body so the effect is only visible to you. If you are applying to your face then use one just for that area. You should cleanse first and then exfoliate to remove flaky skin that would spoil the overall effect. Do not use a moisturizer yet.

Certain parts of the body sometimes become darker than the tan overall. To avoid this on the face, which is always on view, then apply an eye cream just under the eyes. Do not try to darken the face too much or you will end up with a look that is not natural.

Now you can try mixing a small amount of moisturizer with your tanning lotion. This will enable a smoother application. As well as the face, cover the ears, too. Remove all traces of the fake tan from your hands by washing thoroughly.

Before repeating the process on the rest of your body you will need to exfoliate just as you did previously. Apply the product systematically, moving up through your body, one limb at a time. Again, you will allow several minutes for the tan to dry. Avoid any exercise for several hours as sweat may cause the application to streak.

The range of self tanning products on sale is vast. Types include gels, sprays mousses, milks and the ever popular lotion. There is one that will be suitable for your skin, that is lightweight and easily absorbed. Take the plunge and enjoy a new look!
