There is nothing more unappealing as Caucasian skin than the pale, washed out look. To get it looking tan and lifelike, one will have to stay in the sun to get it to acquire the glow. Luckily, there are all manner of dark sunless tanning lotion to get the tan without the sun. To apply, a few steps need to be followed.

The first rule about applying dark sunless tanning lotion is that you should not shave before using it. Shaving is bound to make the skin quite delicate and applying tanning lotion to it will make the situation worse. If you have very sensitive skin, and you really need to shave your body, shave at least a day before you use your dark sunless tanning lotion. Some people are lucky enough to have skin that can endure this, but do not take the risk.

Exfoliate right before you apply this product. Exfoliate using a loofah and body scrub, preferably the ones made for sensitive skin. It will get the dead skin out while still keeping your skin safe and protected. The dead skin, if not removed, will end up making your skin look patchy and ashy once you apply the dark sunless tanning lotion.

When applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, wear your tightest bathing suit, especially in a dark color. The dark color will ensure that it is not stained by the lotion in the event that you get some of the lotion on it. It should be tight to ensure that you get maximum coverage of the lotion, as well as to prevent tanning lines. Also, get a product that is most similar to your skin tone.

Applying the dark sunless tanning lotion to your body is quite tricky. One wrong step can end up in major disaster. This is why it is best to use a sponge body brush or even a sponge roller. Make sure that you apply it evenly to make it look realistic. Use only one stroke over an area to avoid looking too tan.

Wash your hands just after you use dark sunless tanning lotion so as to avoid orange palms. Otherwise, you can wear gloves when applying it. Hydrogen peroxide is quite helpful when you have used a little too much tanning lotion. Dab it on the areas that you used too much lotion on using a cotton bud.

Lotion your elbows and knees once you are done applying your dark sunless tanning lotion, work evenly in order to smooth out the color and make it look natural. Lotion them five minutes before applying tanner in order to absorb as little lotion as possible. This will prevent these areas from looking orange.

For feet and hands, choose a product lighter than the one you use on your body. The armpits should not be left out as this will make the area pale and the tan will thus look fake. Using a powder puff, apply a little baby powder all over your body to eliminate the sticky effect caused by dark sunless tanning lotion. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
