Five Tips For Using Sun Fake Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Lying in the sun for hours to darken your skin color can lead to unwanted side effects like burning, cancer, or early skin aging. Luckily for those people who like to have dark skin there are commercial products available that do not require sunlight. Using sun fake tanner is different from using tanning sprays and lying in the sun. Following the five tricks below may help you achieve long lasting natural looking results.



Choose a starting color close to your natural color. Most sun fake tanner products have a starting color. If you are light skinned and choose a dark starting color you may end up with a unnatural looking result. It may be a good idea to keep in mind that sun fake tanner lotion once applied cannot be turned off once it reaches the desired color.

Hair removal should be done before applying any sun fake tanner. If you are planning to wax, it may be a good idea to do so a couple of days before tanning so that all wax residue and effects of waxing have gone. Daily moisturizing and exfoliation in the days before applying sun fake tanner may help to lengthen the time before a repeat application is needed. However, avoid over moisturizing the day of tanning.



Make sure to evenly distribute the sun fake tanner on your skin. Making sure no spots are missed during the application phase will lead to a more natural look. Wash your hand thoroughly after application is completed.

Let the product dry before putting on anything that will cover the area. Different sunless products may have different drying times. Waiting until the product is fully dry may prevent any clothing from being stained or any product rubbing off.

Extend tanning results by not exfoliating or taking a long bath after tanning is complete. You may want to avoid shaving your legs or other areas where the product was applied for at least two days, because skin cells can also be removed causing fading of a fresh tan. Hair removal should be done before slathering on the sun fake tanner.

Using a sun fake tanner product may be a way to slow the effects of premature aging caused by over exposure to sunshine. However, if you want to make sure full coverage is achieved more easily going to a professional for sun fake tanner application is an option. Following the tricks above will help lengthen the stay of color on your skin and may help the sun fake tanner result look more natural.
