How To Use Ultra Dark Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


When you are using ultra dark tanning lotion it is important to apply it correctly. Having a deep, golden tan is something that many people want year round. With these sunless lotions, people can now tan all year long. Not only are you able to tan all year, but you no longer have to spend hours in the sun. While the sun is wonderful, the sun's rays can be very harmful to your skin.

Exfoliate your skin. Doing this removes dead, dry, flaky skin. If you decide not to take the time to get rid of this skin, your tan will be blotchy and uneven. When you exfoliate, you give yourself a smooth foundation for adding color to your skin. This is not something that you want to skip.

Before you tan take a shower. Exfoliate your skin in the shower. This will help you to remove dead and dry skin. The result is a smoother foundation for your tan. If you do not do this, your skin will likely turn out blotchy instead of sexy, smooth and golden.

After your shower use moisturizer to the areas of your skin that will grab extra color. These are the dry areas on your body. Your knees, elbows and ankles should have a layer of moisturizer before you begin giving yourself a tan.

Place you hair in a ponytail to keep it from getting color on it. Begin working from the bottom up. Start on your lower leg and work your way up to apply the product. Use smooth, even, long strokes. Take your time to ensure that you are covering your entire body.

Clean your hands as soon as you finish applying the product. Your palms are an area that absorbs color more deeply than other areas. The palms area also not areas that you tan naturally so you do not want color on them. Leave the bottom of your feet color free as well.

Do not get dressed right away. You want the product to dry before you put any clothing on. If you must get dressed, wear something loose and flowing. Avoid any tight or constricting clothes. Be aware that a small amount of color may get on your clothing if it is not dry. You may also see a little color when you shower. Do not be alarmed, this is absolutely normal and nothing to worry about.

You will likely need a few applications of your ultra dark tanning lotion to get the shade that you want. You may want to apply this every other day the first week. After this you can do a maintenance application to keep the color looking deep and tan. This will fade over time if you do not keep up with it. Generally your tan will begin to fade within a week if you do not follow through with maintaining the color. Keep your skin well moisturized between applications.
