Choosing Homemade Or Manufactured Self Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing to get a suntan is now known to be risky. Many more people are turning to the use of self tanning lotions to produce that healthy bronzed glow. Not all the commercial products are effective or produce a good result so be prepared to try a few before you get the results you want.

Friends and colleagues will go on about which products work for them, but it may not work on you. An inexpensive way to find out is to ask them if you can try a test patch with their product. Most products information sheets will tell you to carry out a skin patch test, to ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.

It is best to allow the patch test 24 hours to work. If you think the test patch color is not quite right, it is advisable not to purchase that product. Using it all over just makes the end results look worse and it may look very streaky or like and orange.

Alternatively, you can try making your own homemade lotion. You will find a number of easy to make recipes on the internet that use everyday household ingredients. You will find step by step instructions on how to mix, use and store your home-made lotion.

In addition, you will find instructions on how to prepare and moisturize your skin so that you get the best results. You have the advantage of knowing exactly what is going into the lotion. You are avoiding the use of chemicals and other unknown ingredients that are found in store brought products.

Herbal and natural self tanning lotions can be bought ready-made from the majority of Health Stores. They contain only natural ingredients from plants and herbs. These types of natural self tanning lotions are popular with individuals who have sensitive skin.
