A TAN FOR ALL SEASON [Getting Your GLOW on the right way]

 


I find that is doesn't really matter what season it is, a self-tan is a hit year round. I myself have been known to work a fake-bake, tan towel sexy glow. I feel better about myself and look great doing it too. But lets be real about it. Ensuring that you get a even realistic looking tan isn't impossible, but does take some practice as well as preparations and patience.  A Self-Tanner has the potential to scare people off if you don't use them correctly. Often one ends up with streaked skin, orange palms and blotchy,  you get the picture? I mean let's face it I have seen some amazing looking people turn themselves into UMPA LUMPAS, and everyone is afraid to tell them,  I my self, well I just walk past them signing the Umpa Lumpa song............and they get the point.


So the misapplication of self tanning lotions and sprays can have amusing results, and this is common with most people, its not so much the product, but rather the technique in which you applied it .


Tanning Lotions contain a chemical called dihydroxyacetone  aka DHA What is DHA? I s a substance that gives the top most layers of your skin temporary stains with in an hour of so after applied.  This layer is called, stratum corneum, so if you start off the wrong way with the application, the product  isn't able to stop the process from having its affect on your skin.

      The Biggest problem that people face when making use of self tanning lotions is that of streaking. The skin resembles the coat of a tiger with a combination of dark and light colored stripes. The problem lies in the fact that you have to ready your skin prior to applying the self tanning lotion.
So if your looking to catch a self-tan, there are a few things you have to do, prerequisites if you will.

1, EXFOLIATE! ~ You have too, plain and simple, get in that shower grab a loofah, wash cloth and start body scrubbing, you need to remove all your dead skin before introducing a self tan product to your skin. This prevents you from streaking. and you should do this for a few days each day before apply tanners.
2. MOISTURIZE!~You must moisturize your skin prior to any self tan session , if you neglect doing this step you will streak. 
3. SHAVE!~ Shaving a few days prior is a good idea before tanning, is also exfoliates your skin. it all comes down to exfoliation!
Be slow & gentle and don't rush  when your actually applying self tanner, you need to be extremely gentle to begin with. Make sure that you rub the lotions onto the skin completely , Lotions are better for people who are  more likely develop streaks compared to quick drying lotions, just the saying, quick drying doesn't make me feel secure. The lotion gives you more time to smoothen out the uneven areas thereby reducing the chances of getting streaks. And always  remember to wash and scrub your hands, of here's a better tip, where gloves!
Hey Lindsay, I'm not sure your suppose to be wearing socks with those heels.

Mandy Moore, looks great in her self tan,
4. Your FACE~  when you are self-tanning your face, blend the formula into the hairline so there's no color blocking on your face. Always have your hair pulled back when doing this, also, a tip for you, try mixing it with a bit of your facial moisturizer to cute the chances of staining or being to orange. and don't use the same tanner that's for your body, use face lotions for face, that's why they make them for your face.

Check out the various types of self-tanner available~
Creams: Quick to dry and the most common type of formula; however, they can streak easily.
Lotions: Easy to apply, but take the longest to dry because they need to be properly rubbed in.
Gels: Color develops quickly but can dry the skin.
Foams: Dry fast but are more difficult to apply.
Mists/Sprays: Best for more experienced self-tanners because it’s hard to reach the back, shoulders and smaller areas.
Towelettes: Work well on the face and for touch-ups.

and note, one of the worst thing  you can do is overlay tanner~yuck! This can results in streaks and  a orange color, remember the Umpa Lumpa song?
