Many people are aware of damages the sunrays cause to the skin. It is essential that you use tanning products that are safe and will give your body the glow and bronzing feel it deserves. However, when you use self tanner lotions, you have to get the procedure of applying the products correctly.

When used properly, these products can transform the look of your skin while keeping the dermis at its healthiest form. With the sunrays, they have the potential to cause skin cancer, which is a major concern for many people. However, with use of the indoor tanning lotions, they give the skin that desirable look you need.

You might use a body scrub but ensure that you get one that is non- oil based. The oils on the body scrub can form a barrier that prevents the tan lotion from entering and penetrating the skin for a good effect. After you have cleansed and dried the skin, you also need to consider dabbing or blobbing areas such as the wrists, knees, elbows, ankles, and hands with use of a high quality moisturizer.

When you use a moisturizer, it helps in preventing the tan product from building and catching on patches of your skin. Besides, you also need to shave the areas that have hair, or wax the body skin. Shaving hair from skin helps clear the body and provide a clean surface for easy penetration and application of the lotion.

The spots may most likely occur on areas such as the elbows and knees. You might want to avoid getting such spots by ensuring that you clean and dry your body skin prior to applying a lotion. You have to apply lotions onto a clean and smooth skin. Cleaning your skin ensures that you open up the pores and sooth it for even application.

An exfoliating scrub is helpful in sloughing off the dead or excess skin that is found in your body before you apply a lotion. All these steps are aimed at achieving a clean and smooth skin surface that will help in producing the tan results you need in your body. If you have used a self tanning product before, and probably skipped the part of exfoliating the skin, then you might have observed some streaks or little white dots appearing on body skin.

The reason behind this is that some of the bronzed or tanned skin shed off immediately after applying your lotion thus showing the white spots on the skin underneath. It is therefore, essential that you exfoliate your skin before you apply any tan lotion product on it. In addition, a special attention should be accorded to rough spots such as the wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles.

The parts of the body that have skin folds, will tend to trap debris including dead skin. If they are not exfoliated properly, you may leave some of the debris and oils on those parts thus impairing the smooth and even application of your lotion. If you follow the simple steps in applying your tan lotions, you will be able to get impressive results that give the body a glowing and bronze look.
