How To Achieve A Beautiful Bronze Using The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Little did Coco Chanel know that, when she walked off the plane to meet photographers sporting a body-wide bronze, she'd be starting a fashion that would last an age. Before that day, tans were a symbol of the working classes. There's no more effective way to glamorize than with a splendid bronze, but it's safer to achieve it using the best self tanning lotion.



We're now aware that lying on the roof on tinfoil is dangerous. That's why bottled tan was invented. You could visit the salon to be professionally sun kissed but it's far simpler and cheaper to buy the effect in a container.

Using a bottle to bronze can be intimidating if you've never done it before. We've all seen that orange faced, streaky look made popular by television anchor men and there's little as embarrassing as achieving that look yourself. With this guide, you'll be able to tan with confidence.



Most products have typified the terrible aroma attached with these tanners. It comes from the chemical, DHA, contained in all these lotions. It only starts to reek with a few hours' contact with flesh, so there's no use taking a whiff of the bottle to test it. Simply slather it on a wrist and see what develops in time before you make your selection.

Some brands have found the ideal fragrance to hide the characteristic smell of DHA. Others simply use less of the offending chemical. In the latter types, gradual layering is required to achieve the desired result.

Keep in mind that some lotions take hours to dry. It's pointless to waste so much time. Simply look for a product that dries in a few moments.

One disadvantage of a few hours' hanging around is that the product stains fabric. You're sure to end up with tinged couches and gowns. It's impossible to wear lotion wet on your skin for that long without rubbing it off in places, which will give you a patchy look.

Look for a product that suits your personality, too. Spray on self tans are ideal for beginners because of their ease of use. Creams are great for the seasoned user and those with a little more time.

It's often inappropriate to use the same tanner for both face and body. Lighter complexions shouldn't go overboard with dark hues. Deeper complexions will see little difference if they use a product that's too light.

Even if you have the best tanner possible, if you don't prepare your body, disaster can strike. Shower first, using a good exfoliator to slough off dead skin that will give an uneven look. Cover yourself with a light moisturizing cream, using an oilier one on ankles, wrists and elbows, which tend to darken too much. Then wait half an hour for your skin to regain its natural PH balance.

No damaging sunlight is necessary when seeking a golden hue. Forward preparation makes all the difference. Never forget to find the best self tanning lotion.
