How to Apply Tanning Lotion Correctly
Summary
Your skin naturally sheds millions of dead cells daily, and your epidermis renews every 35 to 45 days. This process causes tans from sunless or self-tanning lotions to fade over time. To maintain your tan, it's recommended to reapply these products every three days.
Choosing and Using Tanning Products
Products containing DHA, such as gels, lotions, or sprays, are generally considered reliable. There are also tanning accelerators, which claim to speed up the tanning process by increasing melanin production.
Tips for Proper Application
- Timing: Wait at least 15 minutes before dressing to avoid staining clothes. Avoid exercising or swimming for at least three hours after application.
- Correcting Mistakes: If you notice streaky or dark areas, use a 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid on those spots. In the morning, exfoliate with a wet washcloth to even out the skin tone.
- Application Tips: For tricky areas like the hands, apply the self-tanner like a moisturizer, then quickly wipe your palms on a slightly soapy washcloth. Use a Q-tip dipped in a non-greasy cleanser or eye-makeup remover to clean around nails and cuticles. A makeup sponge can be helpful for evenly applying tanner to the back of your hands, feet, temples, and hairline.
- Skincare Considerations: Products like AHAs, BHA, Retin-A, and topical scrubs can interfere with self-tanners by exfoliating skin cells. Avoid using these the same evening as applying the self-tanner or wait at least two to three hours if necessary.
- Reapplication: Your tan will typically begin to fade in three to four days as skin cells shed. Reapply as needed to keep your tan looking fresh.
