How To Use Sun Laboratories Self Tanner Properly To Enjoy A Wonderful Outcome

By Haywood Hunter


If you love to sport an olive complexion but don't like putting your health in danger, grab a bottle of Sun Laboratories Self Tanner. This product is formulated to provide a skin darkening effect indoors so you can avoid those harmful UV rays. Regardless which Sun Laboratories Self Tanner type you prefer, proper application is necessary to enjoy a fantastic result.



Sun Laboratories Self Tanner is available in lotion, foam, roll on and spray. While any of them may also be applied on the face, the manufacturer offers something exclusive for facial use. Following the directions on the packaging is crucial if you want to make the most out of the product. Otherwise, your at-home tanning experience may only end up disastrous.

Before using the Sun Laboratories Self Tanner of your choice, the skin has to be exfoliated. The product relies on DHA, short for dihydroxyacetone. This chemical causes the topmost epidermal layer to darken the moment DHA gets into contact with dead cells sitting there. If DHA is applied on an uneven layer, rest assured that your fake suntan is going to have blotches. Luckily, the creator of Sun Laboratories Self Tanner has a body exfoliating gel that is suited for such pre-tan job.

Another thing that needs to be done prior to the application of any Sun Laboratories Self Tanner is shaving. By getting rid of excess hair, it's easier to come up with a smooth tan. If you have very sensitive skin, shave at least a day before you use Sun Laboratories Self Tanner. Otherwise, perform the chore an hour before you start applying your at-home tanning product.

Put on a pair of gloves when what you have is Sun Laboratories Self Tanner in lotion or foam. This prevents your palms from absorbing DHA and ending up stained. If you are allergic to latex, use gloves out of plastic. In case they're not available, remember to wash your hands with soap and water each time you move from one area of the body to the next.

Sun Laboratories Self Tanner lotion or foam is applied in the same manner as your everyday hand and body moisturizer. Spread the product on the skin using long, broad strokes. If you are using the spray type, place it about 6 inches away from the skin and press the nozzle. No matter which one you are using, added brown tint ensures that you don't miss a spot.

Let the product be absorbed fully by the skin before you get dressed. Refrain from showering, swimming or doing things that can make you perspire for the next 6 to 8 hours to let DHA in Sun Laboratories Self Tanner do its role. The chemical produces an initial skin tone change in approximately 3 hours. The color will further darken after 24 to 72 hours.

The suntan-like effect of Sun Laboratories Self Tanner may be enjoyed for about a week. Just like the real thing, the golden brown color begins to fade as the layer of dead skin cells DHA has darkened is replaced with a new one. Remember to regularly apply moisturizing lotion to slow down the rate of your skin's sloughing off and make the fake tan last longer.
