Factors To Bear In Mind When Finding 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.

Ask for advice from a professional. Your dermatologist should offer you advice on getting a good dark lotion for tanning. Depending on your skin type, they will tell you which product is best and how you should use it to get the best results.

To get the best results after using dark lotion, the skin has to be quite clean. This is why you should use a loofah to wash your skin before using the dark lotion. Get rid of unwanted hair so that it is absorbed.



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.

Remember to thoroughly wash your hands once you are through with using your dark lotion. Most people make the mistake of applying it onto their hands and forgetting to rinse it off. In the end they have very dark palms. If you fear you might forget to rinse off, put on a pair of gloves while applying the lotion on your body and then using a sponge to get the lotion on 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.

Remember to wear some sunscreen on top of the dark lotion. Most tanning lotions do not come with a sun protection factor. Those who end up using them without sunscreen will thus end up getting sunburn. A good trick to ensure that you are safe from the sun is to make a formula of equal parts of the lotion and sunscreen. This way you will never forget to put your sunscreen on.

After using the tanning lotion, you may be required to rinse off some of the excess. Do this using only pure water, since by using shower gel you might wash off the tan fully. If the packaging of the dark lotion does not ask you to rinse off, do not rinse off. Also, wait for some time for it to dry before putting on your clothes. Take your time and choose wisely.
