Today’s self tanning solutions are designed to work with your skin.

As the largest body organ, it makes sense to look after your skin. Decades of sunbathing without protection has left many people’s skin in a damaged and potentially life-threatening condition, so it’s no wonder that self tanning has become increasingly popular over the years. Under constant development, the self tanning products you can buy today help you to look after your skin as well as giving you a great colour.

Choosing self tanning

If you’re self tanning for the first time, you need to do some research before you start. This will help to ensure that you buy the right products and follow the right processes in order to get the very best results. Part of this is buying the right self tanning lotions in the first place, and making sure that you prepare your skin beforehand, as well as looking after it once the self tanning colour is established:

· Test your skin – if you’re using a new self tanning product, always do a skin test first to make sure there won’t be a harmful reaction when you apply the product. Put some of the lotion onto a small patch of skin and leave for 24-48 hours. If there is no reaction, go ahead and use the product. If you get a reaction, don’t apply the product to the rest of your skin. Depending on the severity of the reaction, you might want to make an appointment with your doctor to see if you are allergic to any of the tanning ingredients.

· Prepare your skin – there’s no point putting self tanning lotion onto dirty skin or dead skin cells. Take the time to exfoliate properly so that you get rid of all your dead skin – failing to do this often leads to a patchy tan. If you’re planning to use self tanning lotion for your face, make sure you are using a product that is suitable for delicate skin and that you follow the instructions exactly so that you don’t damage your skin.

· Apply carefully – there are always areas that are difficult to self-tan well, because of cracks in the skin, or reaching difficult areas. Knees, ankles, feet and elbows are usually problem areas, so pay special attention here and ask your partner or a friend or help if you need it. Take the time to apply the self tanning lotion carefully so that you get a smooth finish.

· Maintain your skin – don’t stop looking after your skin once the self tanning product has been applied. Keep it clean and moisturised so that you achieve the healthy look you want. Self tanning products are not sun protection, so you should take the normal precautions when you’re exposed to the sun’s rays.
