Facts About Hints On Choosing Homemade Or Manufactured Self Tanning Lotions

By Veronica Cappelletti


Sunbathing to get a suntan is now known to be risky. Many more people are turning to the use of self tanning lotions to produce that healthy bronzed glow. Not all the commercial products are effective or produce a good result so be prepared to try a few before you get the results you want.

You may find that some of your acquaintances look great with a bottle suntan. However, the product they use might not have the same effect on your skin. Save yourself some money and try a skin test with their product before you buy. It is a good way to find out if your skin will react badly to any of the ingredients.

It is best to allow the patch test 24 hours to work. If you think the test patch color is not quite right, it is advisable not to purchase that product. Using it all over just makes the end results look worse and it may look very streaky or like and orange.

A cheaper and often safer option is to make your own cream or lotion. You can download instructions from the internet that are easy to follow. You will find plenty of advice on the ingredients to use, how to mix and store the lotions and how to apply it for best results.

You can also download instructions and tips on how to moisturize and cleanse your skin for tanning. There is no ambiguity about the ingredients being used. You know that there are none of the potentially harmful ingredients that can occasionally be found in commercial products.

If you prefer to use natural products because you have sensitive skin, you should visit your local health store. They usually stock a variety of products derived from herbs and plants to make self tanning lotions. You can be sure that they contain only natural ingredients.
