A Better Tan With Your Indoor Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a nice tan but do not want to venture out in the hot sun, indoor tanning lotion may be the solution. Indoor products are free of the dangers of too much sunlight exposure, as it can damage skin and place your health at risk. Here are some tips and advice for getting a more effective indoor tan from your tanning lotion.

Preparation is important, as you should shower before applying tanning lotion to your skin. Shave areas that you plan to tan to get the smoothest results. It is also a good idea to use a mild skin exfoliating product. However, do all of these things several hours beforehand, to avoid any irritation to the skin.

When seeking an even tan on your body, your hands should be a focus. When you are applying tanning lotion, your hands will be saturated in it for some time. As soon as you are done applying the product, wash your hands two or three times, so they will not have a deeper tan than the rest of your body.

Tanning lotion will work best if it can completely soak into your skin. If you get dressed or go to bed immediately after application, you may rub off a great deal of the effect. Also, if you are going into the water soon, avoid tanning lotion, as it may simply wash off.

Most indoor tanning lotions are not designed to be used in tanning salons. Also, if you plan to spend much time outdoors, choose a product that has effective SPF protection. Finally, it is always a good idea to try your new tanning lotion on a test area of skin, first.

In closing, you do not have to venture outdoors to get a deep and lovely tan. It is much safer to use indoor tanning lotion. Make sure to follow skin preparation tips and manufacturer's recommendations. Test small areas of skin before you apply tanning lotion to all body parts.
