Skin Tanner Tips for a Golden Tan

By Lorna Hillier

This content on using a skin self tanner is a guide to having a fabulous golden tan instead of subjecting yourself to dangerous skin damage.

With all the sun warnings in the media, it is no wonder that the public have turned to cosmetic products to produce that golden tanned look rather than risk skin cancer and other skin damage.

Ever since Coco Chanel launched the tanned look fashion, most women are absolutely in love with golden honey skin; thus, in order to put a stop to the spread of skin cancer, self-tanners became the favorite alternative as they bring the healthy glow without aging the body.

It is vital for teens to become aware of the fact that sunbathing is destructive to the skin and they don't have to copy the same mistakes as the middle-aged group.

A young girl will profit more from using a self tanner than basking in the sun at the beach. By choosing a good quality cosmetic skin tanner, even the darker shades of tan can be obtained and without running the risk of skin cancer.

All is not necessarily rosy when using a self tanner, especially if it is applied wrongly. Shocking tales of blotchy skin and orange palms make some people reluctant to try this product.

For top results when using a self tanner follow these tips -

* Start moisturizing and exfoliating the skin with a loofah daily, a week prior to using a self tanner for best results.

* The skin on the knees, elbows and knuckles are thicker. To prevent these areas becoming darker apply the self tanner lightly.

* Before using the skin self tanner, coat petroleum jelly on your hairline and eyebrows to prevent darkening.

* Straight after using the self tanner wash your hands well to prevent getting bronzed hands, or better still, wear gloves

Hints For After Using a Skin Tanner

* After treatment it is always a good idea to wait as long as possible before dressing or going to bed, to prevent the self tanner rubbing off and also discoloring your clothes.

* Avoid exercising (sweating), showering or swimming for six hours or more

* Be aware of possible accidents that could ruin your clothes and always read the paper work.

When you follow the hints above you will discover the best most natural skin tan ever.

Now that you have finished this article don't you agree that sun baking is not worth the risk of skin cancer and early wrinkles, especially when self tanners are so readily available and effective? - 18095
