Beauty Blog: Achieve a Healthy Glow

A natural, healthy tan and a bronze complexion are anyone's dream, not your dermatologists though! But there isn't a science of sunless tanning and achieving a great and natural-looking tan. A good tanning product and a skillful application are two needs to meet for a nice tanning process. In most cases, people want their fake tan to pass for a real sun tan. That is why these self tanning tips should be taken into account. No one can get a glowing sunless tan without following the instructions. A self tanning tip is more valuable than a lot of creams or sophisticated products, as it prevents the need to remove or hide the bronze color. No fear of orange tan or of too brown spots on some delicate areas.

The quality of the self tanning products is critical. A consumer should be aware of the high performances of a tanning product. Cheap ones might be tricky. Picking up an inexpensive tanning product might only get vitamins and minerals for his skin, instead of a tan. That's not bad, but it is far from the tanning goal.The tanners should respect the amount/the quantity indicated on the label and the instructions to apply the cream/lotion/spray. Choosing the appropriate shade is extremely important, also, since the skin type is extremely relevant in the tanning process. Never apply a darker shade on a fair skin type. It looks awful. It's like a mask and therefore a removal tanning product is needed, unless you want to hide tanning right away.

Always EXFOLIATE before applying any type of self tanner. Also apply lotion to dry areas, so they do not absorb too much product. I recommend these products for tanning:
