Sunless Tanning Revolution - Either You Are In Or Get Burnt

Here comes summer once again. You've had the taste of spring time and now you're hooked on the sunshine. You'd better break out the shades. Or better yet, you'd better dig out the suntan oil. It's about time to get your tan on. You know, lay out by the pool or in the back yard; basically bake until you're a golden brown. Wait; that can't be healthy can it? Well DUH! Everyone on planet earth should know this by now. Tanning the epidermis under the UV rays is not such a prudent route. It really never was. The only difference is that now days we know better. We're aware of what the sun can do to our appearance and overall health. It's kind of like smoking. Everybody used to do it, but then there was a wake-up call via scientific studies. What I'm getting at is that you should take the alternative route if you want a golden complexion. This is the age of sunless tanning.

I call it a tan in a bottle. You've seen it before. My guess is on countless occasions. There is a deluge of sunless tanning products available to assist you in darkening your skin. Try Walgreens or CVS pharmacy. Both carry a vast array of sunless tanners. All you have to do is exfoliate properly in the shower, and then get out and apply the product evenly. They make these lotions and creams so subtle nowadays so that you don't end up with funky streaks or orange spots. You can apply them nightly and end up with an awesome tan. And the best part is there are no drawbacks like premature wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancer.

At least give the new-age method of sunless tanning a shot. If you don't find what you're searching for in a drug or grocery store, you can always try the tanning salon. Not for the tanning beds! But rather for the mist-on tan. You step in a booth and get sprayed from head to toe. This is a new form of sunless tanner. It is also safe and very quick. Tons of sun-bunnies are giving this new concept a shot. So if you're itching for a nice even, full-body tan, what you need is a good air-brushing at the local tanning salon. Call to see who offers this service. You'll have the glow in no time and be ready for that bikini.

Top 3 Sunless Tanning Lotions

Get Your Tan From A Bottle, Not The Sun

Now that we know it is very bad to lie in the sun covered with baby oil, women are looking for safer ways to get a nice, summer tan. Though there is nothing that looks as good as a real tan will look, there are a great many ways to get something that does not look too bad. Though there are many choices, many people like to use sunless tanning lotions to get that sun kissed look that we all want to have each year. They also use these to look tan all throughout the year.

I tried sunless tanning lotions for the first time right before my wedding. I did a lot of research on how to apply it because I didn't want to make any mistakes. I tried to put on sunless tanning lotions months before my wedding so that I knew what I was doing.

I found that using sunless tanning lotions was more of a hassle than I thought. You do have to make sure your skin is ready to accept the lotion before you apply. This means that you have to spend at least a week before your application scrubbing every inch of your body to make sure all rough spots are smoothed out. You also have to apply moisturizer to areas that might normally soak up a lot of the sunless tanning lotions. If you don't do this, you will end up with orange knees and elbows. The pigment might also pool in areas on your feet and even your face.

You also have to have a lot of spare time to use sunless tanning lotions correctly. For most of them you have to take your time to make sure you are applying the lotion equally on each part of your body. You may have a hard time reaching your back. You also have to make sure that you have a few hours to hang out naked after you apply sunless tanning lotions. You cannot sit down or put on clothing until the lotion has had time to sink into your skin or you will get it on your clothes and furniture. You also have to make sure you scrub in each shower afterwards so you are shedding tan skin onto your clothing. It can look great, but you should know it is a lot of work.

Looking for that natural-looking tan but don't know which self tanners to choose? You only need one of these three products, no need to search for others.
