Choosing Homemade Or Manufactured Self Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


If you want a tan without the risk of sunbathing, there are a variety of self tanning lotions on the market. It is finding one that works for you and produces a nice golden glow that can be difficult. You may have to buy and try a few before you find the right one.

You may find that some of your acquaintances look great with a bottle suntan. However, the product they use might not have the same effect on your skin. Save yourself some money and try a skin test with their product before you buy. It is a good way to find out if your skin will react badly to any of the ingredients.

It is best to allow the patch test 24 hours to work. If you think the test patch color is not quite right, it is advisable not to purchase that product. Using it all over just makes the end results look worse and it may look very streaky or like and orange.

Alternatively, you can try making your own homemade lotion. You will find a number of easy to make recipes on the internet that use everyday household ingredients. You will find step by step instructions on how to mix, use and store your home-made lotion.

You can also download instructions and tips on how to moisturize and cleanse your skin for tanning. There is no ambiguity about the ingredients being used. You know that there are none of the potentially harmful ingredients that can occasionally be found in commercial products.

Health stores sell a range of natural and herbal products for self tanning. These natural products are beneficial if your skin is sensitive because they do not contain chemicals. They are made from herbs and plants and should not cause any adverse skin reactions.
