You surely want to wear the crown of golden girl just like the other girls who dream of the same. And you are trying to save on a trip down to one of the tanning salons because of a tight budget while at the same time turning away from the sun. Yes the UV rays of the sun sometimes have damaging effects on your skin. Most women like you are turning towards application of sunless tanning lotions to achieve the most desirous healthy glow with the golden tint on their skin. Why would you not do the same? A certain section of the men are not out of it too.

These days are quite different than those bygone year of past when tanning was done indoors risking a lasting orange-colored effect for quite a few days. Application of sunless tanning lotions have caught up with most of the people as it seems to be more refined. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is an ingredient that actively works in most lotions. The chemical reaction with the amino acid of your skin creates brown melaninoids. As the color turns tan it remains so for at least five days. It may extend to another 2 days too. It’s a minor commitment when there is a comparison made with the change brought in the color of hair. This way you can go through the experiment of picking the product that rightfully suits you.

Though it’s noticed that sunless tanning lotions have gone through vast improvement through the times, a few guidelines need to be followed for good results. Preparation of your skin before application of sunless tanning lotions is the first move. Take a shower and then exfoliate with a soft washcloth. Shave well before applying sunless tanning lotions. Your legs should be in the proper state to take the lotion. Should be fair-skinned you can start a lotion that has light tanning effect which works up and stops at medium tone. Lighten the color by blending regular lotion with tanning lotion.

While tanning keep in mind that you need to start with the legs. Start from the top and go down. Use the circular motion while going up and down quickly. This way you would avoid streaking. Apply the lotion onto the back of your arms and hands; work it out to your torso. Wash your hands frequently especially the finger nails. They should be scrubbed to keep the orange color away.

Just as you are doing the necessary for all major parts of the body, be very particular to apply the lotion sparingly to your feet, neck and face too. Wrists and ankles should be given the same treatment. The market has tanning products in different varieties. There are the ‘indoor tanning bed lotion’ and the ‘self-applied bronzers.’ Applicators differ as well. They range from mousse to ‘fine misting sprays.’ All the lotions don’t act in the same manner. Some come off giving immediate color but the maximum darkens after several hours. You can choose any from the market. But you are assured of getting the golden glow you are seeking.
