Sunless tanning solutions are used by many people who would like to enjoy the appearance of having been out in the sun without having to endure the potentially very damaging health consequences of spending hours in the sun. Research from the last half-century has revealed the dangers of skin cancer and other conditions, and a sunless self-tanning solution is now part of the beauty kit of many women.

Simply splashing on sunless tanning solution will not give good results however. Following some simple steps will help minimize the risks of the sunless process turning out wrong and making the skin looked strangely streaked or blotched.

Shaving the legs before applying a sunless tanning solution is never a good idea, as the chemicals contained in the sunless solution can irritate skin which is already inflamed. Exfoliating the skin with a product which contains polyethylene is also likely to lead to better results.

Another useful tip if someone is new to the process of sunless self-tanning is not to spray the solution directly on to the skin. This can lead to streaking and a generally very unsatisfactory result. Instead, use a sponge paintbrush to achieve a smooth effect with no streaks.

These are readily available from hardware stores, and are inexpensive. Anyone who is looking to make sunless tanning a regular part of their beauty routine should consider getting hold of one, not least because applying any sort of sunless solution to the back is very tricky indeed without some kind of tool to help.

If a sponge paintbrush is not available, then another good and inexpensive way of achieving a smooth finish to the tanning process is to use a wet wipe. Remove the wipe from the package and leave it to dry for a few minutes. After this, spray sunless tanning solution onto it and use it to wipe sunless solution onto the skin. Keep the wipe moist with sunless solution and do not allow it to dry, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

With a bit of care, positive results can be achieved by anyone using a sunless tanning solution, keeping the risk of contracting skin cancer or other skin condition to a minimum while maintaining a summery, bronzed glow in even the most wintry sunless locations.
