that contains a sufficient amount of sun screen and perhaps a bronzing agent. These types of lotions can create the same effect of a golden tan without the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. The lotions can create a soft barrier protection between the skin and the sun. Many of them condition the skin with nourishing ingredients that can erase the existing effects of sun damage.
The best tanning lotion is one that can be seen as it is applied. Some sunless tanning creams go on clear or white which does not allow the person to monitor the application. If a tanning cream has a colored agent included the lotion can be placed in specific areas. When applying the lotion it is important to start with a fresh base. The skin must be clean and free from any other products. A good exfoliator should be used prior to application. This allows the skin to accept the tanning lotion and absorb it quickly. The directions on the bottle should be followed closely.
To create a natural sunless tan the lotion should be applied in the same manner that the sun would hit. Imagine you are sitting in the sun and all the areas that would normally tan, should be the areas where the tanning cream should be applied. The best tanning lotion should contain a conditioning agent as well as a sun screen. It should have a self adjusting formula that allows you to control the amount of tan you wish to achieve. The best tanning lotion will give you a radiant, deep summer tan all year long. It is important to remember to limit your time in the sun to decrease its harmful effects. When applying the lotion be sure not to get any in the mouth, eyes or nose. It is extremely important to wash your hands after application. Most tanning agents will leave the hands looking orange if not washed immediately.
