Guidelines That Should Be Followed When Using Self Tanning Body Wash Products

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning refers to the process of darkening the skin so as to reduce the effect of sunburns. This is also done as a skin moisturizing process. Currently, the process is being looked upon as a beautification procedure for the body. Self tanning body wash products are therefore used in carrying out the process.

Some people prefer to not to use self tanning products and thus turn to sunbathing. Basically, sunbathing involves an outdoor experience where the body is exposed to direct sunlight. This process, though natural, is time consuming and is only ideal for those on holiday. Tanning with the use of the sun also does not spread evenly and leaves lines on the body which do not look good in the end.

Self tanning body wash products have detailed instructional guides for their application. These need to be followed well in order to achieve the desired results. Failure to follow them, one may develop some complications and as well fail to produce the desired results.

Before starting to use the self tanning body wash product it is important to prepare effectively. In this case, preparation involves shaving of hair from the parts that will be applied with the body wash tan. This should be done at least a day before to reduce the reactions on the skin that might cause irritation. The body should also be thoroughly washed and scrubbed to get rid of any dead cells on the skin and allow for a smooth application.

Brushes, sponges and sprays are normally used while applying the self tanning body wash product. When using either of them, make sure that you take it in a circular motion. This is to allow for an even application on the skin. Rinsing should then follow 30 seconds after the application is done. It is also advisable to wear gloves when performing this task. This helps in preventing your hands from coming into direct contact with the self tanning body wash cream as it is normally difficult to clean.

There is no set starting point in the application of self tanning body wash lotions. However, starting with the large body parts is considered as ideal. These refer to the back, the ribs and the back. They are then followed by the legs, arms and other body parts. During the process, some parts may appear darker than others and should thus be wiped out and a fresh application made to the area.

Various components used in the manufacture of these self tanning body wash products react differently when exposed to the skin. For this reason adequate information regarding them and their after effects is required. This is so as to ensure that there are no side effects that occur after the application has been done.

Self tanning body wash products are easily accessible. They can be purchased from local beauty stores where there are varieties to suit varying tastes. They can also be purchased from online stores whereby the store organizes for the delivery of the product. Normally information on various products is available online and also in various magazines.
