Review: Fake Tanning is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

Some people prefer getting their Fake Tan at a parlor or beauty clinic, believing that this would be much safer and more professionally done. However, dermatologists are not of this same opinion. Even though tanning lamps mainly use UVA rays because they are believed to be less aggressive than UVB rays, skin burns can still happen. In fact, twenty minutes spent under intense UVA rays is equivalent to two hours of exposure to UVB rays at the beach.

Before opting for any product to get a Fake Tan, it is always a good idea to consult your dermatologist, pharmacist or beautician for a diagnosis of your skin type and determine the most suitable product for you.

Fake Bake Instant Self-Tanning Spray, 7-Ounces is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

Remember to have on hand:

fake-tanning product
a long-handled sponge
self-tan remover
vaseline
self-tanning mitt or latex gloves
hair band or ties

Do a test patch a week before you want to self-tan – use a hidden area such as your stomach and leave for several hours to see how the colour develops

The day before application, thoroughly prepare your skin. If you shave, do so now. Exfoliate slowly and carefully. Rough patches like the elbows and ankles can be exfoliated twice.

The night before application, moisturise thoroughly. If possible, sleep in long sleeves to keep in as much moisture as possible.

Before application, swipe vaseline across eyebrows, fingernails and toenails.

Put on gloves or grab your tanning mitt!

During application, start at the ankles and work your way up slowly and carefully. Apply less product to rough patches, such as knees, ankles and elbows.

If using product on your face, dilute half-and-half with moisturiser and apply sparingly. Only apply very little product to sensitive skin such as eyelids and under-eyes.

Swipe any areas with too much product with fake-tan remover

Wait at least four hours before touching water or showering

…and then enjoy your gorgeous new tan!

Remember:

To avoid blocked pores, exfoliate gently every second day. With a gentle product, the colour of the tan should not decrease. Make exfoliating part of your beauty routine.

Remember, however: self-tanner will not protect your skin from the Sun! Make sure to use at least SPF 30 while out in the full sun. It will not decrease your tan and will protect your skin.

Holiday Tips: How to Apply the Perfect Fake Tan (Quick Guide) is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

If you are one of the many people with inadequate ideas about how fake tanning is applied, there is every reason to read this article for your interest. The point really is that you will be privileged to know how to apply it to parts of your body like the hand, feet as well as the body.  

When it comes to fake tanning on the face, it is important to remove the dead skins out of it first. This is usually done by the use of a cleanser or a facial scrub to ensure a better result. For the purposes of ensuring a blend of the tanning product into the hairline, it could simply be achieved by massaging with the use of the finger tips and making sure the hairlines are carefully massaged with the products.

When it comes to the body, there is also the need to make sure your fake tanning is applied on the knees, elbows as well as the heels well. Like the face, it will be in your interest to clear all dead skin cells in order to make a significant mark. One thing that can aid the process is the use of gloves. This not only speeds up the scrubbing process compared with the raw palm but also gives you better protection too. Don’t forget that it may take you several hours without it.

Having known this, you may be looking out for how to undertake fake tanning on the feet.  The easiest and surest way to realize something appealing is to make sure you start it in a gentle and light manner. Again, it is important to make sure the dry parts on the ankle, heels and other parts of the toes are carefully worked on. It may also be a nice idea to get a moisturizer for the importance of diluting and ensuring the application is even throughout.

You must know that the entire process requires very careful planning and application. Therefore always take your time to ensure the best outcome.

Any treatment that you give your skin after application of the fake tan will obviously affect it.
If you exfoliate your skin after having applied a fake tan then there is a possibility that it could make the tan look streaky.

When applying your tan try to do it in a relaxed manner.
If you don’t have enough time to apply the tan evenly over your whole body then postpone it until you have sufficient time.
There are two reasons why I say this;
If you’re applying the tan in a rushed manner then you are unlikely to blend it correctly for it to look natural.
The second reason is when you’re rushing you’re more likely to perspire.
When you perspire this can have a reaction with tan and result in a color that is not quite what you want.

Always give the tan time to dry before getting dressed.
If this is not possible then wear light baggy clothing that will allow the tan to dry without causing marks.

Be aware that shaving can also cause the tan to look streaky so if you do need to shave any parts of the body do so before applying the tan.

Moisturizing twice a day will help to prolong the time your tan will last.
As the tan begins to fade there are products on the market that contain levels of self tanner.
These are great for topping up your tan.
Another trick that you can use is to mix a small portion of the self tanning cream with your normal body cream.

This is actually quite a good trick that can be used on its own.
If you haven’t used a fake tan before and are unsure about the application and how it will look, using a combination of the tan mixed with your favorite body cream can help you to add color to your skin more slowly

Tips on Getting the Most of Your Fake Tan is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

Now that summer’s just around the corner, here are a few tips for selecting the right product to ensure a beautiful, healthy and streak free glow.  The primary ingredient in the majority of fake tanning products is dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, and they work by reacting to amino acids found in our skin cells.  This interaction is what provides the “tan”.  While you can use these products if you’re going to be outdoors and in the sun, dermatologists recommend the use of sunscreen as well.  The products used for fake tans do not offer any protection from the sun’s rays. 

Another popular application is the new airbrush tanning methods.  These are most successful when done in a tanning salon, but there are new methods available on the market that allow users to apply them at home.  These can be costly, however and often, the results aren’t as dramatic as those you would get in a spa or salon setting.  Also, you’ll need to endure a bit of trial and error to find the right one for your complexion.  Otherwise, you might end up with the dreaded orange look.  Remember too, start small and build from the foundation to avoid a too-drastic finished look. 

It’s important to do your research on the application methods.  As mentioned above, airbrush tanning is the new rage, but it’s not the only effective method.  Each has its own pros and cons and as you might expect, the prices will vary greatly as well.  Keep your budget in mind, especially if you’re new to fake tanning products.  Some of the fake tan methods include:

Foam applications
Spray applications
Towelette applications
Slow tanners, such as lotions
Spa or salon applications; and
Airbrush applications which usually require an initial investment in the equipment

Those in the industry also recommend users exfoliate their skin before using any of the methods above.  They also caution against applying fake tan products after you’ve moisturized with other products and special attention should be paid to those areas that are typically dryer, such as knees and elbows.  Finally, most experts agree night applications are better since you have the overnight hours for the product to develop.  Finally, be sure to use plastic gloves to avoid the “tanned palm”.

Fake tanning, or sunless tanning, as it’s sometimes referred as, is an excellent way of getting that look we all long for.  We equate it to health and a well lived life, after all.  With a bit of forethought, research and trial and error, getting the perfect shade is easily achieved. 

Fake Tan-What Are Your Options? is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

The safest method to get a great, sexy fake tan is of course to book an appointment with a professional. But after you’ve booked your holiday and bought your capsule wardrobe, forking out a wad of cash for a pro fake tan may seem a bit much. That’s ok though, because you can get great results at home with a bit of care and effort.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

fake-tanning product
a long-handled sponge
self-tan remover
vaseline
self-tanning mitt or latex gloves
hair band or ties

You might be worried about what kind of colour you’ll get from your fake-tanner. If so, choose an inconspicuous patch of skin (try your stomach, for example) and apply a bit of tanner a week or so beforehand. The colour will develop in a few hours and you’ll be able to see what kind of result you’ll get. Remember this year’s tan is all about subtlety – a soft, sexy glow instead of a dark tan, so light-to-medium products are best in most cases.

In order to avoid streaks, you need to prepare your skin properly, which takes a bit of time. The day before self-tanning, carefully exfoliate. If you shave or wax, now is the time to do so. If you exfoliate after self-tanning, your tan will fade more quickly and you are much more likely to get streaks if you don’t do it. For difficult areas (such as knees, elbows and the backs of your ankles), exfoliate twice.

The night before you apply self-tanner, make sure to moisturise. Make sure your skin is hydrated when you apply self-tanner or the result could end up looking uneven. If it’s not too hot, wear long trousers and sleeves to bed to keep in as much moisture as possible.

When it comes to applying your self-tanner, first swipe vaseline over your nails and eyebrows. Begin at the ankles and work your way slowly up the body for good, even coverage. Apply less product to areas such as knees, elbows and ankles to avoid dark patches. Just remember to use a tanning mitt or latex gloves to apply it to get an even tan and avoid the dreaded giveaway of orange palms! Do not shower for at least several hours after application. Put aside a set of loose, dark clothing to wear while your self-tanner works its magic, since many fake-tanners contain a bronzer which is easily rubbed off.

Even if you are using a gradual tanning product, you still need to blend and massage it in properly. If you’re using a spray, hold the can at arm’s length: you get a finer mist that way. This can be frustrating when you don’t have a lot of time, but trust me – the results will be worth it!

When applying tanner to your face, mix half-and-half with your usual moisturiser. Apply only a tiny amount to your eyelids and under eyes. Remember you can always swipe off extra product with your fake-tan remover. If you have particularly dry skin or are over forty, try using a facial tanning product with collagen for added benefits. Alternatively, try a gradual tanner to build up colour slowly.

If you’re worried about trying fake tanner on your face, a similar look can be achieved with the careful application of bronzing makeup.

To avoid blocked pores, exfoliate gently every second day. With a gentle product, the colour of the tan should not decrease. Make exfoliating part of your beauty routine.

Remember, however: self-tanner will not protect your skin from the Sun! Make sure to use at least SPF 30 while out in the full sun. It will not decrease your tan and will protect your skin.

Happy tanning!

Holiday Tips: How to Apply the Perfect Fake Tan is a post from: Tanning Lotion At It's Best

Several things are already made not to stay permanent at present. It’s the current trend. From make-ups, lashes, lips, nose, body, and even a fake hair. Of course our skin is one of those: fake tanning or fake whitening . If you want to look fair, you may take supplements or have yourself injected with whitening products. If you want to look darker, there are various way to do so, too. Most are not permanent, and that’s the good thing with it. If ever you’ll change your mind about the decision, you just need to wait for a couple of months or years for the solution to fade and try another method again. Some even just takes days, and then the effect was already gone.

Our skin is an important part of our body. How we look depends on it, most especially our skin is our first line of protection from the environment. UV rays from the sun may harm our skin if exposed to it in such a long time. The worst thing that people are afraid of from too much exposure to these UV rays is skin cancer.

Tanning, naturally, is good. It’s priceless, easy and always fast. But the problem is that, it’s now dangerous to go under the sun without any protection since the ozone layer is already becoming thinner and thinner causing too much of these harmful rays to enter the earth’s atmosphere. That’s why skin experts are continuously thinking of ways on how to avoid skin problems from this cause. But there’s no need to worry if you can’t have your desired tan because of the dangers of the harmful rays of the sun.

Now we have what we call fake tanning. There are various ways to fake your tan. No need to worry if your friends will make a big fuss about it. It’s the trend nowadays. In fact, many consider fake tanning much better than the natural one since you can control how your tan will look like; the thickness or lightness of the tan. You may opt to applying tanning lotion, have an airbrush tan, tanning beds, and even tanning make-ups. Go to your nearest salon, or doing it by your own is just easy as one-two-three. Whatever will your choice be, expect that the result will be spectacular as long as you correctly followed the instruction on using the product. If you’re not so sure about it, ask a friend to help you apply the solution on your body just to make sure that it’s applied evenly.

With the wonderful tanned skin that you have, you’ll be confident to face the world. Be ready for the coming summer and decide now; how will I achieve my tan? Fake tanning is the fastest way to have it, so start choosing your tanning products now.
