By Haywood Hunter


Nearly everyone desires a great looking summer tan. However, evidence about the harm caused by UV radiation has many reconsidering spend time outside with unprotected skin. Sun Self Tanning products offer an excellent way to gain a sunless tan. These products are some of the top on the market, but even they require proper preparation of the body before they are applied. Preparing ones body to receive these products ensures a natural looking tan.

Users should avoid waxing the same day they plan to apply Sun Self Tanning. The wax used for hair removal coats the skin and will not allow the solution to absorb into the skin. It is essential that one waits a minimum of one day after waxing before use of these products to provide the best results.

Each area where the Sun Self Tanning solution is to be applied should first be exfoliated. Any dead skin cells will absorb the product so it cannot reach the layers underneath. As they fall off they take the tan with them. In addition, one should avoid sugar scrubs or salt scrubs. They are formulated with oil that repels the product.

Shower, using a mild soap and warm water. The water should be neither too hot nor too cold. Hot water can cause mild burns that will result in more skin cells dying. Cold water closes the pores making it difficult for the Sun Self Tanning agents to absorb. Avoid using your normal moisturizing body wash as the emollients compete with the products designed to tan the body to absorb into the skin.

Shave legs before applying any Sun Self Tanning agent. Although one should not wax, any unwanted hair will need to be removed. The razor also helps to exfoliate. Applying product over hair can cause blotches. Men using Sun Self Tanning products will find a better result by shaving the chest and arms as well before applying.

Take time to dry the body completely after showering and shaving. Excess moisture can be an enemy of s Sun Self Tanning product, causing it to slide away before it is absorbed. Two exceptions are the knees and elbows. Since they tend to absorb more of the product and get a dirty look, try applying a small amount of moisturizer before applying the tanner. This helps to ensure an even tan.

Protect the hands with disposable gloves when applying a Sun Self Tanning agent. This keeps them from absorbing too much of the product and ensures a more even and natural looking tan. Once the process using Sun Self Tanning for the body is complete, take off the gloves and apply to the hands

With proper preparation, Sun Self Tanning products offer a natural looking finish to the body. Read and follow all directions printed on the label. This ensures the tan received is looks natural and lasts the maximum amount of time before needing to be re-applied.
