How To Achieve A Beautiful Bronze Using The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Of all the trends Coco Chanel started, the tan is most lasting. Before she stepped off the plane from her holiday, showing her bronzed body to the world, it was trendy to be pale. There are few things that add to beauty as effectively as an all over bronze glow. These days you can achieve the look using the best self tanning lotion.



We're now aware that lying on the roof on tinfoil is dangerous. That's why bottled tan was invented. You could visit the salon to be professionally sun kissed but it's far simpler and cheaper to buy the effect in a container.

Using a bottle to bronze can be intimidating if you've never done it before. We've all seen that orange faced, streaky look made popular by television anchor men and there's little as embarrassing as achieving that look yourself. With this guide, you'll be able to tan with confidence.



Most products have typified the terrible aroma attached with these tanners. It comes from the chemical, DHA, contained in all these lotions. It only starts to reek with a few hours' contact with flesh, so there's no use taking a whiff of the bottle to test it. Simply slather it on a wrist and see what develops in time before you make your selection.

The reason some lotions smell stronger than others is that certain perfumes can be used to disguise the scent. Sometimes less DHA is present to produce a subtler aroma. With these creams, layering over a few days will be needed to build a gradual shade.

You'll want to look for a lotion that's quick drying. Some products will have you standing around naked in front of a fan for hours waiting to dry. Obviously this is not ideal, especially when there are creams available that dry in ten minutes.

A slow drying salve is likely to rub off onto all you come into contact with. These creams stain, so you may end up with discolored furniture, towels and clothing. The other negative aspect about the slow drying cream is that it's more likely to streak your skin since it's incredibly difficult to remain entirely still and upright for long periods and you're likely to rub off in patches.

Your character will also help your selection. Beginners might want to avoid creams in the beginning, as will eternal rushers. For them, spray bottles suit best. Lotions are great for those who have more time and practice.

Your complexion will be a consideration. Paler skins will prefer a lighter tan as it will look more natural. Darker skins will want a deep bronze color. Faces will need a subtle hue in comparison to legs.

Even if you have the best tanner possible, if you don't prepare your body, disaster can strike. Shower first, using a good exfoliator to slough off dead skin that will give an uneven look. Cover yourself with a light moisturizing cream, using an oilier one on ankles, wrists and elbows, which tend to darken too much. Then wait half an hour for your skin to regain its natural PH balance.

Gaining a darkened flush without damaging your skin is simple. Creating good body groundwork is vital. Even more important is your selection of the best self tanning lotion.
