A Lifetime of Youthful Skin With the Best
Self Tanners
We have all known people who seem to be sun
worshippers. They are habitually laying out in the sun to achieve the darkest tan possible. They always
seem to look so youthful and healthy. If you think about it though, you will rarely ever see a middle aged sun
worshipper that still has that youthful look. This is because they have permanently damaged their skin from
long term sun exposure. They could have avoided this damage by using the
best self
tanners.
Repeated sun exposure leads to photo aging. Normally our
skin changes over time and by the time we reach middle age, we look much different than we did in out twenties
and early thirties. This change is accelerated by long term sun exposure, the result being dark spots,
droopy skin, broken blood vessels, leathery skin and skin cancers.
If this does not sound appealing to you then maybe you should
try a good self tanning product. The latest generation of self tanning products no longer produce
an unnatural orange color or unpleasant odor.
Modern quality self tanners are formulated to
give users an even, natural looking tan that will last longer and not have the fake orange look of
the earlier products.
There are several some important steps you should take in
order to get the best tan possible. The first most
important step before applying the self tanning
product is to exfoliate while in the shower. By doing this, your tan will last longer because you will be
removing dead skin cells that would have soon fallen off and taken your tan with them. By skipping this step,
your tan will fade much quicker.
Also, after about 5 minutes you should wash the palms of your
hands so that you do not end up with the unnatural look of tan palms. Do not forget to apply the tanner
to all places such as the back of your neck and ears.
If possible, try to let the self tanning product dry
without wearing any or very little clothing. DHA, the chemical that produces the tan is activated by
oxygen. The more air circulation you provide, the faster the tan will set. You can reapply the
product in a day or two until you get the shade you want. The tan can be maintained by reapplying
every few days.
By using the
best
self tanners, there is no reason to repeatedly expose your skin to the sun's damaging UV
rays. With the new self tanners, you will be able to maintain a great tan all year around and keep your skin's
youthful appearance though out your life.
