Five Tricks For Using Sun Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Lying in the sun for hours to darken your skin color can lead to unwanted side effects like burning, cancer, or early skin aging. Luckily for those people who like to have dark skin there are commercial products available that do not require sunlight. Using sun fake tanner is different from using tanning sprays and lying in the sun. Following the five tricks below may help you achieve long lasting natural looking results.



Choose a starting color close to your natural color. Most sun fake tanner products have a starting color. If you are light skinned and choose a dark starting color you may end up with a unnatural looking result. It may be a good idea to keep in mind that sun fake tanner lotion once applied cannot be turned off once it reaches the desired color.

Hair removal should be done before applying any sun fake tanner. If you are planning to wax, it may be a good idea to do so a couple of days before tanning so that all wax residue and effects of waxing have gone. Daily moisturizing and exfoliation in the days before applying sun fake tanner may help to lengthen the time before a repeat application is needed. However, avoid over moisturizing the day of tanning.



Carefully distribute the sun fake tanner onto your skin as instructed on the product. Making sure that no spots are left uncovered could lead to a smoother color result that will be more natural looking as long as you follow what is written in number 1 above. If you are unsure about coverage you can ask a fried or a sunless tanning professional to help.

Allow the layer of sun fake tanner to dry fully before putting any material over the application. Some products may dry quicker than others. Refer to the products packaging for an estimate of how long sun fake tanner may take to dry. Complete drying of the sun fake tanner will help insure that it doesn't rub off on any clothing or material which it may come into contact with after application.

In the days following sun fake tanner application avoid exfoliating or indulging in a long bath. By doing so, you will extend the time that your tanning results will last before having to reapply. You may also wish to avoid shaving your legs, if you tanned them using sun fake tanner, for at least two days this may also help lengthen the time between applications. Some people may even choose to wax their legs prior to sun fake tanner application. If you also choose to wax it may be a good idea to do so a few days before using a sun fake tanner. This way any leftover waxy residue won't be on your skin covering any areas that may need to be colored with a tanner product.

Using a sun fake tanner product may be a way to slow the effects of premature aging caused by over exposure to sunshine. However, if you want to make sure full coverage is achieved more easily going to a professional for sun fake tanner application is an option. Following the tricks above will help lengthen the stay of color on your skin and may help the sun fake tanner result look more natural.
