Afraid from the sun but meanwhile want a shinny tan? The question arose between people and the simple answer is always sunless tan products but in order to use them probably you should apply some instructions carefully and have some patience. Here are the golden rules that will guarantee you the perfect tan:

  • Try to scrub a layer of your skin during shower before you start.
  • In order to have a new bright tan first you need to remove the old dead skin, to do so you can spend more time in bath scrubbing your body hard especially on dry and dark spots like knees and elbows.
  • Keep your skin moist a week earlier before the tan.
  • Also you need to prepare your body for the new tan by keeping it moisture a week before you start the tanning, start with using baby lotions more often just after you finish bathing also recheck on dry places and apply more lotion on these parts.
  • Avoid hot atmosphere when using the tanner. Never use tanning products in hot atmosphere like heated bathrooms and steamy places because most probably it will sweat all over your body in no time. Also don’t apply on hot skin wait till your skin cools down.
  • Work the lotion over your body very slowly. Take your time with the lotion, apply many times and wait till it dries there is no hurry and it ispreferred if you can get a hand with that while you relax.
  • Make sure to repeat on knees, ankles and elbows. As we mentioned before dark areas are the most important parts to repeat on and take extra care, these parts usually need several covers of tanning products.
  • Use a glove or a sponge to keep your hands clean. Always remember to keep hands clean, wear a latex glove or wash them several times. The problem with hands is that they usually are the last part to cover and during the process they get most of the product when you use them to spread the product all over your body so you need to keep them clean for a while before concentrating on them.
  • Wait 15 minutes to get dressed. Leave your body to rest, never wear your clothes as soon as you finish but always leave a 15-20 minutes gap till the product dries completely.
