Sunless tanning is an alternative method of lying in the sun. Many people don’t want to expose their skin to sun damaging rays. Spring Season is a few days away and warmer days are approaching. What better approach to fashion than sunless tanning products.
Show a healthy glow
Many people enjoy having a healthy glow. With skin cancer on the rise, it is now time to start thinking about products that are healthy for our skin and give us a natural glow. Self-tanners give skin a tanned look without exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Sunless Tanning Options
There are many products available that come in lotions, sprays, and tan towelettes. Some are easier to apply to your skin than others.
Professional spray tanning is also an option that many spas and tanning businesses offer. I’ve tried mystic tanning and versa spray tanning and have to say I love the quick tan I get within hours of leaving the booth.
Your hair is protected by wearing a disposable shower cap and before entering the booth you apply a barrier cream. The barrier cream is used to apply to the palm of your hands and feet. By rubbing this lotion into your palm and feet you prevent these areas from getting color by looking natural. Once the lotion is applied you enter the stall and follow the commands of the voice prompt by turning approximately every twenty seconds giving you an all-over even color. When you exit the stall, you remove any cream from your wrists and feet and towel off your body. I’m a big fan of Versa tanning and usually tan this way several times a year in addition to using self-tanners on my face.
Self Tanning Products
Even if your an expert with self-tanners it still gets tricky when applying to certain parts of your body to give you an all-over even tan. The most important product to invest in when self-tanning is a good tanning mitt as the one featured below. The mitt pictured is considered to be America’s #1 bestseller and it comes with a mini mitt for your face. By purchasing a mitt it protects your hands from discoloration and stains.
I’ve always liked using a product that is specifically made for the face and some I have had success with are featured below. St. Tropez self-tanning bronzing lotion for the face is one I highly recommend. It is a little bit more expensive however it is worth it due to the fast-absorbing formula that works well for even sensitive skin types. The self-tanner hydrates your skin without blocking pores and gives you a natural glow.
The tan towels are something I stock up on year-round. I love that there isn’t a mess with this product and I don’t have to fuss with lotions and a mitt. The longer you use the towels the deeper your tan becomes. They give you a natural look while hydrating and exfoliating your skin.
The great thing about a self-tanner is it has the ability to hide any skin imperfections, diminish the appearance of cellulite, conceal broken blood vessels, spider veins, eczema, varicose veins, and wrinkles. Indeed, a tan also has the ability to easily make you appear 10 pounds thinner. Some great self-tanners to consider are below.
If you’re looking for organic products, a few options I found are below.
