Tanning Your Skin
The most popular method to have 365 days a year tan is by using a tanning booth on a regular basis. Technology has come to the rescue to an industry that is having problems, owing to the rise in cases of skin cancer, with some newer techniques that pose less danger. Many people are now turning to artificial methods as they are generally much safer, especially the popular spray tanning system. Although there are many other methods, spraying seems to provide the most even and consistent tan available at the moment.
Just to provide an even more convenient service, manufacturers have introduced spray tanning equipment that can be used in the home. Regardless of the method you choose there are a few basic steps to follow to ensure that you get the best results possible. First off, you should exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin. This can stop the situation where dead skin cells gradually drop off leaving paler patches of skin which immediately tells people you have a fake tan.
Once this process is complete, it is advisable to prepare your skin further by applying a moisturizing cream (or lotion) to it which will make the agent easier to apply. Always, always, always wear disposable surgical gloves when applying a self tanning cream etc. unless you want people to see the orange palms which you will most certainly have when you have finished. It is also important to remember fingers, joints and feet do not need to be coated as heavily as they will become very dark and once again give the game away. If you are using a spray tanning method then you will need an old towel to wipe any excess fluid away to stop streaking.
Always stay as still as possible after artificial tanning to allow time for the application to settle down and create an even coating. Don’t forget to wear some old clothes as fake tan is notorious for staining almost anything it touches. You should choose something dark and also maybe something you don’t particularly care for until the excess is worn off. Now that you have this information it should be much easier having a fake tan without anyone knowing.
