A Skin Tanner for a Beautiful Tan Safely

By: Lorna Hillier

Allow me to introduce you to the secrets of using a skin self tanner to acquire a lovely golden tan without risking sun damage.
With the increasing worry over skin cancer, which kills thousands of people annually, people have shifted focus to cosmetic products that create the same visual effect with no risks at all.
Self tanners are now very popular as women can now achieve that golden tanned look made famous by Coco Chanel, without the dangers of sun damage.
For teens it is essential to become aware of the fact that sunbathing for tanning purposes is a harmful experience and they don't have to repeat the same mistakes as the over forty age group.
A young girl will profit more from using a self tanner than basking in the sun at the beach. By choosing a good quality cosmetic skin tanner, even the darker shades of tan can be obtained and without running the risk of skin cancer.
All is not necessarily rosy when using a self tanner, especially if it is applied wrongly. Shocking tales of blotchy skin and orange palms make some people reluctant to try this product.
For top results when using a self tanner follow these tips -
* For a more even color, moisture and exfoliate the skin with a loofah or exfoliating gel every day, starting a week before using the self tanner.
* To prevent areas that have a thicker skin, such as knuckles, elbows and knees from becoming darker, apply the self tanner lightly.
* Before using the skin self tanner, coat petroleum jelly on your hairline and eyebrows to prevent darkening.
* To prevent staining your hands, wash your hands directly after applying the self tanner or wear gloves.
Hints For After Using a Skin Tanner
* To reduce the chance of staining your clothes or the tanner rubbing off, wait as long as possible before dressing or hopping into bed.
* Avoid exercising (sweating), showering or swimming for six hours or more
* As with all products you should read the label and be mindful of spills that could stain your clothes.
Try the above tips and you'll see how smooth and almost perfect the skin color becomes.
The main motive of this article was to make you aware of the risks of sun baking, such as premature wrinkles and deadly skin cancer and the advantages of using a skin self tanner instead.
