Clever Hints For Sunless Tanning Success

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless tanning solutions are used by many people who would like to enjoy the appearance of having been out in the sun without having to endure the potentially very damaging health consequences of spending hours in the sun. Research from the last half-century has revealed the dangers of skin cancer and other conditions, and a sunless self-tanning solution is now part of the beauty kit of many women.

Simply splashing on sunless tanning solution will not give good results however. Following some simple steps will help minimize the risks of the sunless process turning out wrong and making the skin looked strangely streaked or blotched.

When looking to apply a sunless tanning solution to the legs, then shaving beforehand is not a great idea, as it can lead to inflammation of the skin. Exfoliating beforehand though, is a good idea, with an exfoliating solution containing polyethylene preferable.

Never spray the sunless tanning solution directly out of the bottle onto the skin, as this almost guarantees streaking. The best tool to acquire for the sunless tanning process is a small sponge paintbrush.

Hardware stores sell sponge paint brushes, and it is well worth owning one if sunless self-tanning is likely to become a regular activity. As well as keeping streaking to a minimum, it also makes applying the sunless solution the back much more straightforward.

Another way of achieving a smooth finish and a satisfying outcome is to allow a wet wipe to dry after removing it from the package. When it is dry, spray the sunless tanning solution onto it and then use it to apply the solution to the skin.

With a bit of care, positive results can be achieved by anyone using a sunless tanning solution, keeping the risk of contracting skin cancer or other skin condition to a minimum while maintaining a summery, bronzed glow in even the most wintry sunless locations.
