How To Get The Best Self Tanning Lotion For Your Money

By Haywood Hunter


If you would like to have a tan that looks like you just came back from a relaxing beach vacation, you are not alone. However, getting a dark deep tan from the sun or a salon is not the most popular method these days. Too much UV exposure can cause skin damage and in some cases, cancer. That is the reason that many concerned consumers are choosing self tanning lotion, and here are a few tips for getting the most from your products.

Some suntan creams may dry your skin. That is why most people choose to use a good skin moisturizer several hours before application. However, it is also a good idea to choose a product that promotes skin moisture. This will not only give you a satisfactory tan, but help to keep your skin looking young and smooth.

Perhaps one of the biggest complaints of sunless tanning products is streaking. This is often caused by choosing cheap lotions that do not work well. However, even the best creams may streak if you fail to follow the right procedure. For example, you should not exfoliate, moisturize, or shave, right before application. Always wait a few hours before using your suntan products.

The best suntan products are very simple to use. Choose products that come with a pump application. This insures that you get an equal amount of cream each time you apply. You also will have an easier time applying your cream if you use rubber gloves. This keeps from staining the hands, especially the palms. You also may wish to stand on a cloth or an old towel, to keep from getting cream on the floor.

Results with suntan creams can vary a lot, depending on what kind of skin you have. For instance, if your skin is fair, your tan may be very dark. Dark skin individuals may notice tans that are not dark enough. This usually does not happen when you buy quality lotions as they work well with dark and light skin.

With concern for the environment (and products that contain chemicals and preservatives) it is best to select lotions that are natural. In fact, sugar based products are becoming very popular. They are known to provide a good tan and can work in four hours or less.

To get the best tan, you should buy the best available products. If you have never used a cream before, consider checking into customer testimonials and reviews. Seek out websites that provide unbiased reviews from real people that you can contact and ask questions of. When you are not sure of a website, look for ones that have few negative reviews about the product in question. This lets you know that the reviews are real.

Customer support is an important part of any product. Choose a reputable company like Sun Laboratories to buy your products from. A company with quality customer support is there for you when you need them and they are more than happy to answer any of your questions and help you with any problems that you may encounter. A good support system is reachable by phone during normal business hours and can be contacted any time via email.
