The most popular method to have 365 days a year tan is by using a tanning booth on a regular basis. The reason for this is that evidence has proved how damaging to your skin it is to sunbathe regularly and the more at risk you are from skin cancer, so people are looking for new ways to achieve the same effect safely.
One of these newer methods is called sunless tanning which can be carried out at specialist salons or at regular beauty establishments. There are other agents available to help produce an artificial tan but they do not always work that well unless they are applied by someone with experience.
Manufacturers, quick to join the rush, have produced home spray tanning systems. Whichever method you decide upon there are some simple but basic steps needed to ensure the best effect. Cleaning the dead skin off your body is the most important step using a proprietary exfoliation scrub which can be bought from any drugstore. What you don’t want is for people to recognize your tan is a fake by noticing paler patches of skin where the dead skin cells have dropped from your body.
Once this process is complete, it is advisable to prepare your skin further by applying a moisturizing cream (or lotion) to it which will make the agent easier to apply. Once you have done this you will be ready to apply the tanning lotion or cream but remember to wear latex gloves as long applications mean that the tanning solution coats the hands producing an orange effect on the palms which everyone can see. When a spray tanning system is used, a towel will be needed to wipe off any excess which could cause a streak.
Always stay as still as possible after artificial tanning to allow time for the application to settle down and create an even coating. Don’t forget to wear some old clothes as fake tan is notorious for staining almost anything it touches.
If possible always choose clothing that is darker and preferably something that is old and won’t matter if a stain is left on it. Armed with this information it should be easier to have a fake tan that is safe and available all year round without anyone knowing what it is you are doing.
