Most people desire a tan but many are not quite sure how to go about it. Dark lotion is a very good way for you to get the tan that you desire. There are a few things that you should know when using dark lotion, in order to get the best results.



Ask for professional help before choosing the lotion to use. Call your beautician or your dermatologist and ask them to give you the best procedure to get a tan. If you settle on using lotion to get a tan, ask them to recommend you a very good dark lotion depending on your skin type.

Exfoliate your skin so that you can take off the dead skin to expose the healthy skin underneath. Also, shave off the unwanted hair so that the dark lotion can be fully absorbed. Take a shower before using the lotion so that your skin can be fresh and look invigorated when tanned.



Ensure that the lotion you are using is safe for you to use. When buying the lotion ensure that the ingredients in it are safe for your skin type. For instance if you have dry skin check to clarify that it will not further dry out your skin. The best thing to do is to take a test spot, whereby you use a little of the product on your body and observe it for a day, to see whether it will have any adverse effect on your skin.

Do not forget to wash your hands once you are done using the lotion, otherwise you will end up with dark palms that are quite unattractive. Putting on a pair of latex gloves while applying the lotion to your body will save you the stress of having to wash your hands when you are through with using the product. Once you are done take off the gloves and use a sponge to apply the dark lotion to the backs of your hands.

Dark lotion has been formulated only to give your skin the tan color. It will not give it the extra glow that you will desire. If you want to get a good glow, mix the dark lotion with a bottle of glycerin. The glycerin will moisturize your skin and thus give it a golden glow once it is tanned.

Sunscreen is quite essential when putting on your tanning lotion. Even tanned skin will need protection from the sun in order for it to keep looking fresh and radiant. If you are usually quite forgetful, you can mix equal volumes of sun protection product and your normal dark lotion. This way whenever you use your sun protection lotion you will always have the protection that you need.

When you use your dark lotion, you should give it some time to dry before putting on your clothes so that you do not stain them. If you wish to rinse off the excess, use only plain water. Using soap and shower gels may end up washing off the tan. Take your time and choose wisely.
