Factors To Bear In Mind When Choosing The Best Dark Lotion For Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Nowadays, having a glowing tan is the in thing. With an array of ways on how to get a tan, most people are quite confused on which method to follow. A good way to get a tan is the use of dark lotion. There are however a few things to consider when using dark lotion for tanning.



Before settling on any method of tanning, you should first seek professional help. Go and visit your dermatologist, and have them assess your skin. They will then be at a position to advice accordingly regarding the type of dark lotion that you should use and which one you should stay away from.

Unwanted hair will make the lotion hard to be absorbed. Get rid of this excess hair before using dark lotion. You should also take a shower and use a good body scrub and a loofah to take off the dead skin and to reveal the fresh skin.



Some lotions are known to be concentrated with very harmful chemicals that may wreak havoc on your skin. Carefully read the label and confirm that the dark lotion is safe for your skin. Also, if you are not sure that you might have an allergic reaction to the skin, do a spot test. Apply a little of the dark lotion on your skin and let it sit for a day or so. If there is no change in the skin, you can conclude that the product is safe to use.

Do not forget to wash your hands once you are done using the lotion, otherwise you will end up with dark palms that are quite unattractive. Putting on a pair of latex gloves while applying the lotion to your body will save you the stress of having to wash your hands when you are through with using the product. Once you are done take off the gloves and use a sponge to apply the dark lotion to the backs of your hands.

Add some glycerin to your dark lotion. Dark lotion will only give you color and it will not necessarily give you the glow. Glycerin is a very good product in that it will hydrate your skin and give you a beautiful glow. The benefit of having a moisturized skin is that you will get the glow that will enhance the look of your tan.

Sunscreen is quite essential when putting on your tanning lotion. Even tanned skin will need protection from the sun in order for it to keep looking fresh and radiant. If you are usually quite forgetful, you can mix equal volumes of sun protection product and your normal dark lotion. This way whenever you use your sun protection lotion you will always have the protection that you need.

When you use your dark lotion, you should give it some time to dry before putting on your clothes so that you do not stain them. If you wish to rinse off the excess, use only plain water. Using soap and shower gels may end up washing off the tan. Take your time and choose wisely.
