Dark sunless tanning lotion came as a godsend. Caucasian skin tends to look really pale and lifeless. To acquire the glow, one had to spend many hours in the sun. This at times would end up in disaster and cause one to end up with sunburn. In winter, one could only dream of a tan. Now, the hassle of sun tanning has been eliminated. To get best results from using sunless tanning lotion, there are a number of step that one has to follow.

Try as much as possible to avoid shaving at least five hours before applying the dark sunless tanning lotion. To be on the safe side, shave a day before if you must, especially if your skin is very sensitive. Shaving usually makes the skin very delicate and irritable and adding dark sunless tanning lotion to it will actually make the situation worse.

It is very essential that you exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin. This dead skin is known to end up looking flaky once the dark sunless tanning lotion is applied to it. In order to get a good exfoliation, use a good loofah or a body brush with firm bristles. Also, use a good body scrub specially designed for sensitive skin. This will protect your skin from the harsh tanning lotion.

When applying your tan wear a tight dark outfit, such as a bathing suit. The dark outfit will not get majorly affected in terms of staining when you accidentally get the lotion on it. Also, when choosing a dark sunless tanning lotion get one that is closer to your skin tone in order to look natural and effortless.

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 once you are through with applying it. Most people forget to do so and end up with orange palms. You can opt to wear gloves when applying it to eliminate the need to wash your hands. Hydrogen peroxide comes quite in handy when you have excess tanning lotion on your palms, or in the event that you use a bit too much dark sunless tanning lotion in a certain area. Dab it with a cotton bud and rinse off lightly.

Before applying this product, use some body lotion on elbows and knees. This way, less dark sunless tanning lotion is absorbed here and thus results look quite realistic. Also use some body lotion once you are done to even out the look.

For darker areas such as feet and hands use a lighter product. Most people tend to forget their armpits when they apply this product and end up with pale armpits. When applying over armpits skip deodorant to prevent a reaction. Dark sunless tanning lotion is known to be quite sticky at times. If you feel the sticky sensation on your skin, try applying some baby powder to ease the situation. Use a powder puff to avoid looking unevenly dry. Take your time and choose the best dark sunless tanning lotion.
