Why do girls use tanning? Firstly, it allows you to quickly achieve the desired shade, which is not always possible with natural tanning. Secondly, instant tanning allows you to even out complexion, hide small defects and give unbanned skin areas the same color as open sun. Thirdly, a light tan hides skin irregularities, including traces of cellulite, and visually makes us slimmer. In order for the result to please you, you need to know the following about tanning: how to apply it on the body, what remedy will suit your skin and allow you to quickly achieve what you want.
It is especially difficult for fair-haired and fair-skinned women to get chocolate skin color in a natural way. Under the influence of the sun, their skin quickly turns red, and then peels off. In this case, you need to use a light tan (marked "light") or tinting products (balms, lotions and lotion). Darker colors will give an unnatural result, and it will be very difficult to wash off such a tan. For peach skin owners of brown hair are suitable products marked "medium". Dark-skinned girls who want to make their skin even darker will need funds with the inscription “dark”. It is worth trying first in a small area, because from an improper product, the skin can acquire an ugly yellow hue.
Creams give the most lasting result, but you can achieve it only by applying the product in an even layer on the body for 30 minutes daily. Mousse is lighter in structure, therefore absorbed faster. It can be used instead of a moisturizer after a shower. Milk or lotion is applied using cotton swabs. The fastest remedy is self-tanning spray. It is conveniently sprayed onto the body and dries in 10 minutes. Self-tanning wipes give an instant result, they can be carried with you in your purse. For fair-skinned girls, this remedy is not recommended, since it is easy to make a mistake with the tone, and the undesirable result will be very difficult to fix. Most often, wipes are used for individual areas of the skin, for the face, for example.
Have you chosen the right tan? How to apply each remedy is written on the package, but there are some general recommendations. Preliminary preparation of the skin is required. It consists in taking a shower using a scrub and washcloth. Carefully remove dead skin particles and allow the body to dry well to evenly distribute self-tanning. How to apply it on the body? You need to start with the legs, gradually moving from the bottom up. Less hair is needed on the hairline, knees, elbows and eyebrows, as these areas absorb colorants more strongly. Wash your hands after each serving of tanning, otherwise the skin on your palms will be noticeably darker than the rest. For the first time, it is better to apply the thinnest layer, and the second to apply when the effect is fully manifested, so you can gradually achieve the perfect shade. Do not dress until the product is completely dry. Within four hours after the procedure, you must refrain from taking a shower and exercise.
Now you know how to choose a tan, how to apply the product in order to achieve the desired result, and what shades are best for your skin.
