If you want to get yourself a nice golden suntan without having to lie in the sun and risks the dangers that come with it. You can try one of the many self tanning lotions available from the chemist or supermarket. It is not always easy to pick the right product for you first time.

Your friends may look great, but you may not get the same look when you try the same product. Carrying out a patch test is the best way to find out if a product is right for you. Rather than go out and buy the lotion, ask you friend for a little to test it first. A patch test should let you know if you will have an allergic reaction to the product.

You are recommended to wait 24 hours after testing, as some ingredients may take longer to trigger a reaction. Providing you are satisfied with the results of the test, you can go ahead and buy. Be aware that if the test area looks quite orange, the effects will be much brighter when applied to a larger area.

A cheaper and often safer option is to make your own cream or lotion. You can download instructions from the internet that are easy to follow. You will find plenty of advice on the ingredients to use, how to mix and store the lotions and how to apply it for best results.

You will find important skin preparation advice which is important when you want to use a self tanning product. You have peace of mind because you know exactly what is going into the lotion. Unlike with products you can purchase, they may give you a list of ingredients, but you have not a clue what they are.

Herbal and natural self tanning lotions can be bought ready-made from the majority of Health Stores. They contain only natural ingredients from plants and herbs. These types of natural self tanning lotions are popular with individuals who have sensitive skin.
