A recent article on MSN news and lifestyle talks about an implant that could give a tan for a lengthy period of time -  as long as three months thus getting rid of the need to use either UV tanning or fake tanning products.

The implant is currently only used to help skin conditions including the treatment of skin cancer.

Melanin is the catalyst for change in skin colour

Why the implant could work for fake tanning is it helps with the generation of melanin which is the catalyst for the change in colour of skin. This is done by putting a tiny implant under the skin.

Unfortunately, this is only talk and any commercial tanning use of the implant may well be years away!

Pippa received an incredible 60% of those asked to vote in the poll and her Royal Mocha shade proved the most popular.

Her closest contender was Cheryl Cole receiving 26% out of all those asked to vote.

Australian Tanning company Vani-T has launched a new product called Bronzing Custard.

One of the leading American fake tanning experts, Beautisol has just launched on multi channel retailer, HSN – Home Shopping Network.

The founder of Beautisol is respected self tanning expert Sinead Norenius and she will be bringing her knowledge to HSN in a series that will highlight the Beautisol products as well as various fake tanning techniques.

Beautisol is a respected American Fake Tanning Products Company

At present the Beautisol products will only be available vexclusively through HSN but it is hoped that those that do not have access to American television networks will have access to Beautisdol’s excellent self tanning products in the future.

Their flagship products include Need I Glow More which allows both men and women to get a natural looking fake tan on their face without having to worry that the formula will be too heavy.

Need I glow more comes in two different formulations, one for oily skin and one for dry and sensitive skin.

Both of these fake tan products contain an anti aging peptide that can help to boost collagen production. This is combined with Honeysuckle flower extract as well as vitamin E to help keep a youthful looking and smoother skin.

Idol tan as a company has been around for about 8 years now and has a good track record. Its company ethos is to provide the best cosmetic products sourced only from natural ingredients.

The company is getting quite a bit of media attention at the moment and is quickly establishing itself as one of the best fake tan companies on the market using purely natural ingredients.

Using  natural ingredients means the Idol Tan self tanning gel is well suited to anyone who has sensitive skin or for those who have concerns about using fake tanning products that contain artificial chemicals.

The product comes in a bottle which allows for convenient and easy application of the self tanner. The gel spreads easily and has a very smooth consistency which works to avoid both streaking and patchy areas. Even for experienced tanners, to ensure even better results, in the days leading up to applying the fake tanner it is advisable to both exfoliate and moisturise.

Idol Tan An Established US Tanning Brand

Idol Tan uses natural ingredients

The self tanner is water based which is a great advantage because it will dry quickly following application. This also means that it reduces the chances of staining both on clothes and on bedding.

The Tanning process is fairly gradual and gentle and will start to work after a few hours of application. As Idol Tan self tanning gel only uses natural ingredients and has moisturising capabilities it will leave your skin both nourished and moisturised and certainly not dry like some fake tanners on the market.

Once the gel has been applied the fake tan will last about five days before fading begins and it will then need topping up. The product will give you an even, dark bronze colour that looks natural.

A view is widely held that the gentle nature as well as the epidermis nourishing properties of Idol Tan self tanning gel is one of the products great strengths.

As a final note, because Idol Tan self tanning gel is alcohol free, it means the product has a shelf life that is longer than some self tanners. Furthermore the product does not suffer from the nasty DHA aroma of other fake tanning products. Instead it has a subtle, rather neutral aroma that means it can be comfortably used by both men and women alike.

As a product, Idol Tan is currently only available to buy online and is not available on the high street in the UK at the moment.

Spray tanning can be achieved in three ways. You can visit a professional tanning salon, you can employ a mobile tanning professional to come to your home or you can chose to spray tan yourself within the comfort of your own home.

A good tip to spray tan in your own home is to always do the application in your bathroom.

However neat and tidy you are, self tanner is a messy product and tends to get everywhere leaving you with a browny orange tinge everywhere.

Spray tanning from home using a mobile tanning kit can get a little bit of a messy affair if you are not careful. If you can afford to do so it is advisable to purchase a tanning tent. They are not expensive relatively and can really save you from a lot of messy cleaning up afterwards.

This video is a concise demonstration of how to put up your spray tan tent.

This is a short but informative video about Mystic tan, just one of the multitude of spray tan providers on the market.

The key thing to note is that in Spray Tanning Booths, it is the presence of a fine mist of constant spray that provides a smooth all over and even spray tan.

The whole process is not particularly cheap – you can spray tan in the comfort of your own home, however by using professionals and professional systems, the results are astonishingly good.

Recent images of an under 18 who received 70% burns from visiting an unstaffed tanning bed salon in Wales made the news.

It has resulted in the Welsh assembly passing legislation that will firstly see unstaffed tanning salons being banned. Secondly, all under 18s will not be able to access Tanning Salons from April 8th.

The dangers of sunbeds are well known

Further regulations will require the supervision of all adults using tanning beds from 31st October.

The Welsh Assembly has gone much further than the rest of the UK, where tightening of laws have already seen Tanning Salons having to provide protective eye wear for their customers as well as provide health information about the use of sunbeds.

Wales has been hit particularly hard by recent cases of children getting badly burned by sunbeds. As a result, Cancer Research UK carried out a study and found that 8% of children in Wales between 11 and 17 had used a sunbed once with 40% having used them unsupervised.

The cases of skin cancer have risen considerably over the last few years, not just in Wales but in the UK as a whole.

The risks of UV rays are now well known and whether using tanning salons or natural sunbathing, the underlying dangers of sun burn in the short term and possible skin melanoma in the long term are well known.

Many people are now turning to fake tanning products as a safer alternative.

Fake Bake’s Beyond Bronze Self Tan lotion comes in a 148 ml bottle and is priced around £15 online and is also available on the high street.

The product is designed to work straight away upon contact with the skin. The DHA based formula has the finest ingredients and works to develop a fake tan that if applied correctly will give a long lasting, light bronze tan that will hopefully complement your skin tone.

This is certainly far removed from poorer quality fake tanning products that put you at risk of turning a nasty orange colour.

One of the best products for price to quality

If you want a darker tan colour you will have to apply additional applications. The product is a light bronze and as a result is probably better suited to those with fair or pale skin as opposed to those with an olive complexion. The tan will last for about three to four days before it will need topping up.

Using a tanning mitt for assistance, this product spreads very evenly and should provide a streak free application even for those who are inexperienced self tanners. The product helps you get an even coverage on those difficult areas including the Feet and hands and the webbing in between

This product is highly recommended and is one of the best self tan products out there in relation to price to quality.

The spray is infused with aloe vera which acts as a moisturiser to prevent dryness of the epidermis.

The HV1 is a professionally tested HVLP unit, which stands for High Volume Low Pressure Model.

For those operating a professional spray tanning business which needs a high volume usage machine and something they will be using every day, the HV1 entry level model would not be suitable and it would be better to look at a more appropriate product.

The HV1 unit is extremely effective and produces a fine mist ensuring that consistent and reliable results are constantly achieved.

A recent study in the United States by the Cancer Prevention Institute of California has shown that affluent young white women are nearly six times as likely to develop skin cancer melanoma compared to women from poorer backgrounds.

At its most basic level this can probably be put down to the fact that affluent women have more opportunities for tanning. They can afford a better standard of living which includes a better work life balance with time spent on the beach and more money to spend on sun beds and other beauty product treatments.

The study examined the relationship between melanoma occurrence, UV light exposure from either sun beds or sunbathing and socioeconomic status. Scientists looked at data from 3.800 white women and young girls between the ages of 15 and 39 in California two decades apart.

The results pointed to the higher disposable income and higher occurrences of melanoma.

The full study will appear in the July print issue of Archives of Dermatology.

Tanning : How to Use Tanning Beds

The first step in using a tanning bed is to make sure to know how to use all of the buttons before getting into the tanning bed…..

It is essential to be patient before applying a DHA fake tanning product. This includes a week of preparation before application and includes essential procedures such as exfoliating and moisturising for seven days before applying the sunless tanner.

This is a brief but a right to the point video emphasising the importance of preparation as part of the whole fake tanning process.

The Piz Buin summer sensation self tan mist spray mid has an innovative 360 degree spray to help get to those hard to reach areas such as the back.

The mid spray is for fairer skin and the light mist is easy to apply developing into a natural looking tan colour leaving you like you have just stepped off the beach.

The product has a moisturisation element in it which leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised. Piz Buin say that the product should last about a week after application this is probably at the higher end of durability, with five days about the norm for this spray before a top up is required.

After application it is probably best to wait about half an hour before putting clothes on to avoid staining them an orange colour or waiting a couple of hours before having a shower which will get rid of the slightly greasy feeling but won’t get rid of the tan.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

An excellent product at a great price

[phpzon asin="B003T75KLU" country="UK" trackingid="bestfaketanre-21" templatename="asin"]

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Another advantage of the Piz Buin summer sensation self tan mist spray is it does not have the nasty DHA aroma of many similarly priced self tanners at the cheaper end of the market.

The product is priced around £ 7 for a 150 ml bottle which comes in a brown box and is available both online and in shops. It is well priced for such a good quality product and is just as good as a similar offering by St Tropez which comes in around the £20 mark.

If your looking for a good quality product for fairer skin at a competitive price,  this offering by Piz Buin is well worth considering.

The Sally Hansen Airbrush legs is not actually a fake tan product, it is actually make up for the legs. It is available in four different shades of various strengths – light glow, medium glow, tan glow and a deep glow.

It is specifically designed to be sprayed onto your legs to give an airbrushed finish, which covers blemishes like scars and veins; it adds a discrete shade of colour.

The product is easy and very quick to apply.You do not need to apply a huge amount as a little will go a long way.  It is best to spray the product onto the palm of your hand and then rub it all over your leg for an even, smooth application. It is probably best to apply the product in the bathroom as it can sometimes drip.

The product is already coloured. It contains vitamin K and unlike fake tan products you do not have to wait for the colour to develop due to the absence of the DHA tanning process.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is a make up based

It is actually possible to use the product on other parts of your body like your chest and the neck, although first and foremost it is a product for the legs. It can look even better when combined with a self tanner although this is completely subjective.

The product blends very easily and is not streaky like many sunless tanners can be. It also has the advantage that due to an absence of DHA it does not have an unpleasant odour which really is a bonus.

The Sally Hansen Airbrush legs dries extremely quickly – the can says it dries in 60 seconds although it is better to leave it 10 minutes before putting clothes on.

The product is available both on line and on the high street and it is priced between £5 and £10 for a can.

Most people want to have a sun tan  in the summer but few people nowadays want to take the risks associated with natural tanning involving UV A and UV B. Hence the increasing move towards fake tan products.

Among the most popular fake tanning products are by a company called He Shi. It sells some of the best self tanning products on the market, made up of many natural ingredients. As the name would suggest, this company sells fake tanning products that can be used by both men and women.

He Shi Fake Tan Lotion

This skin tanning lotion is in a more liquid form compared to the normal lotions. When you apply it for the very first time you might get scared because it seems like it is darkening the skin more than you desire. It should be applied in the form of thick layer all over the body for getting best results.

The best thing about He Shi Fake Tan is this that it does not have a biscuity scent, and it does not stick on the clothes or on any other thing even after few minutes of applying.

He Shi Tanning Mitt

For applying He Shi Fake Tan in the best way, you should apply it with a tanning mitt. With these gloves you can spread the lotion evenly all over the body.

These gloves additionally benefit you a lot as the tanning lotion does not get on your hands and you will not have to immediately run towards the wash basin to wash your hands in the fear of getting your hands stained.

Fake Tan Injections are used in the process of fake tanning and involve putting a synthetic hormone called melanotan under your skin using injections.

Melanotan fake tan injections work as accelerators to tan the colour of the skin. They use a synthetic hormone called Melanotan which increases the level of the pigment, melanin in the skin. Melanin is the body’s natural response to the sun and by increasing the level s of melanin results in skin tanning.

There are two forms of fake tan injections available, Melanotan I and II, which need to be diluted with water before being injected.

This is unlike self tanners on the market that involve putting tanner on your skin which are composed using Dihydroxyaceton (DHA) as the base of the various formulations. The vibrant component in sunless tanning products, Dihydroxyaceton (DHA), does not work individually instead it works with the amino acids found in the skin.

With the mixture of bothDHA and amino acids a chemical reaction occurs which causes skin to bronze when applied to the skin. The main advantage of using the combination of DHA and amino acids is that it does not destroy or damage the skin.

Harms of Fake Tan Injections

There has been recent widespread coverage in newspapers regarding the dangers of injecting Melanotan, which requires an injection of the synthetic hormone under the skin in order to stimulate the skin to tan.

The drug is sold both online and as counter products at both gyms and beauty salons. The fear is that because the drug is self-injected users may be putting themselves at risk of developing infections such as hepatitis or HIV.

Sun beds have a fluorescent lamp that contains phosphor blends. These phosphor blends discharges ultraviolet rays.

Extensive research was carried out by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in which it was concluded that the dangers of sun beds are equivalent to the risks and dangers caused by exposure to asbestos and smoking cigarettes.

Further research has shown that the risk of getting a malignant condition was increased by 75-80% in those people who used sunbeds regularly.

Diseases Caused By Tanning Beds

The AmericanMelanoma Foundation research on cancer and its links to sun beds found that exposure to UV can cause malignancy of the eye. They also found that Tumours are one of the most common cancer growths nowadays amongst sun bed users.

A National Institute of Health study found that the dangers of sun beds increased every year due to the excessive and regular use of sun beds. The number of cancer patients whose cause of cancer was due to sun beds indeed rose every year from 1973 until 2010.

Sunbeds are lethal to Health

The World Health Organization (WHO) also acknowledged the dangers of sun beds and has put pressure on sun bed manufacturers saying that a restriction should be imposed on the production and use of sun beds.

According to a survey by the WHO it was found that almost 60,000 people die every year due to cancer as a result of sun beds. From these 60,000 people most of the people die because of skin cancers.

Awareness among the people

Realisation of the dangers of the affects of sun beds are increasing by day. Health Organizations around the world are spreading awareness through televisions, newspapers, internet and magazines. They have ordered cosmetic shops and beauticians to make sure customers are aware of the dangers of sun beds. They have advised the sun bed manufacturers to create products that work towards an alternative replacement to sun beds.

Many women like their skin to be in fantastic condition so they can walk around and show off their complexion.

There has long been a fashion towards the bronzed look as opposed to having the pale look. With the dangers of sunbathing well apparent and in order to keep up with fashion and have a bronzed complexion the only way to achieve this is through a fake tan.

If this is your intended path it is always best to use high quality self tanning products and not cheap fake tan products especially if you have pale or delicate skin as opposed to an olive or dark complexion.
There are certain things to watch out for if you have pale orsensitive skin and you should pay special attention not to use cheap fake tanners.

These productsmay cause irritation and itchiness and red blotches. It is always better to go for quality with one of the better established names and always use a product that corresponds to your skin type. Never use a product just because it is a cheap fake tan product.

If it is a question of whether a product you are using is genuine, then that is an altogether different matter as such products could cause an unpleasant allergic reaction or irritation. There are many ways for determining whether the product you have purchased is original or duplicate. One of them is to view the use of official logo and the seal of trademark. Try to get the fake tan from a registered shop or pharmacy.

Any type of cheap fake tan is purely produced for external use only. Never try to use it inside your body or swallow it because the chemicals involved can make these self tanners dangerous for your health.

Avoid cheap fake tan products, only use the best

If you have pale skin and are looking for a good self tanning solution, too reiterate, never go for a cheap fake tan product. You are not only the person who has pale skin, others have it too and many are proud about their complexion.

Many Hollywood actresses with pale skin refuse to use self tanning products and want to look their natural colour. If you are going to fake tan then do it properly.

Famous Dave has launched a new product called Famous Dave’s Gradual 10. Famous Dave’s Gradual 10 is described as a natural everyday moisturiser with a hint of self tan.

The product has a host of natural ingredients and antioxidants including Cocoa Butter and Aloe Vera as well as organic ingredients such as sunflower oil which according to Famous Dave are supposed to help transform your skin in 10 different ways (hence Gradual 10)

For anyone who is interested, Famous Dave actually gives a breakdown of these ten different transformations.

The product is suitable for both face and body. It is a light and quick drying lotion. Famous Dave says that the natural ingredients also minimise all the usual odours associated with most self tanning products (due to DHA).

The product comes in a 250 ml and as mentioned is now available on the market. For more news and product reviews about the best fake tan please navigate our site.

It might be winter right now in the UK but the spring is approaching fast and it is now time to think about a little bit of self tanning.

The main problem facing many inexperienced self tanners is actually finding the right product to achieve the best  fake tan result according to your skin type. It is no good using a medium to dark fake tanner if you have fair skin or using a light product if you have olive skin as you will only get mixed results.

Even for beginners, it is perfectly possible to get the right shade of tan from the comfort of your own home without having to go to a professional salon.

With preparation, anyone can getthe best UK fake tan

As a good first tip, it is advisable as an inexperienced self tanner to start out with a lotion as opposed to a spray or mousse. The reason is, with a lotion, you have more time to work it into the skin and as a result it is a little bit more forgiving than the other products.

Tip two – in order to avoid having an artificial orange or yellow tinge to your skin, it is a good idea to use a self tanner that has a more olive tone to it. This will help you to get a more natural looking fake tan as opposed to looking like you have been tangoed!

The third tip is to use a self tanning product that has a tint to it. In this way you can spot immediately, areas that you may have missed and areas of the skin that you have already covered.

It is crucial in being able to achieve an even, all over, natural fake tan and succeeding in being able to get the best fake tan in the UK before the summer!

Self Tanning is recognised as the safe alternative to sunbathing and those forms of bronzing that require exposure to UV rays to achieve results.

To achieve the required results using self tanning products you should always follow the manufacturer guidelines as well as some basic tips to ensure a smooth all over, natural looking fake tan.

This video follows the processes required to achieve the best possible fake tan within a safe environment.

How To Self Tan Safely

Clinique’s Mens non streak bronzer is a self tanning product for the face and coming from a great name in Clinique, it is one of the best products on the market.

Many men fear applying fake tan especially on the face that will either look a nasty orange colour or will look like women’s make up.

You need not fear. This product gives a temporary, healthy colour giving a natural tanned look. It will not smudge even when sweating.

The product itself is a transparent oil free gel and comes in a squeezy bottle with an easy to use top with cap.

With regard to application, the best way to use the product is to mix a small dab with a little moisturising lotion and then rub all over clean, exfoliated skin, making sure to blend in well for a great complexion to make you look nice and healthy.

Clinique’s non streak bronzer for men is good for all types of skin from normal to oily as well as sensitive skin. The product is allergy tested, 100% fragrance free and has targeted formulas specifically for the face.

Coming from Clinique and considering a bottle will last a long time as so little of the product is required, it is actually very well priced.

It can be found both online and on the high street priced at between £16 and £18 for a 60 ml bottle. The product is high quality and highly recommended.

In a recent survey undertaken by Superdrug, the high street health and beauty chain, it has been reported that on average a woman will spend one month applying the best fake tan over the duration of her whole lifetime.

In addition to this, one in five women will spend a further 10 days under a sun bed on the same time basis.

It was not just women that were targeted in Superdrug’s survey. It was reported that almost half of all men questioned by Superdrug confessed to applying fake tanning products for men before a night out. It must be presumed that Superdrug’s survey was conducted in store!

18 – 24 year olds use the most fake tan products

In a separate Australian survey (not conducted by Superdrug) it was found that on average fake tan products are used by almost nine percent of all South Australian Women over the age of 18 years old.

The age group most likely to use fake tan products were those aged between 18 and 24 years old, with 28 percent of those surveyed saying that they used some sort of fake tanner.

Further interesting statistics say that the higher the annual household income, the more likely the woman is to use fake tanning and people with fair skin are far more likely to use fake tanner than those whose skin tans quickly in the sun.

This is a very good video featuring Sinead Norenius who is the founder of Antidote Skin Care.

She explains in great detail how to apply self tanner to the backs of your hands. This part of the body is notoriously difficult to get an even application.

Sinead describes how to evenly spread the product between the webs of your fingers as well as the side of your hand closest to your little finger.

It is part of a series on self tanning for the face and body and viewing is highly recommended

Beautisol’s Guide to Self Tanning: Hands

When using fake tanner, whether in spray, lotion or mousse form you should never compromise on the quality of the product. Better quality products tend to incorporate fragrances that do much to nulify the unpleasant aroma of DHA (dihydroxyacetone) associated with fake tanners.

Buy the best quality product you can afford

The superior ingredients of luxury tanning products allow every user whether at a beginner level or as an experienced self tanner to get a smooth all over bronze fake tan.

This leaves the user devoid of streaking that can be the result of using inferior fake tanning products.

Lancome’s flash bronzer self tanning range was voted by Elle Magazine as one of their top 5 self tanners of 2010 and it is not difficult to see why.

As part of the flash bronzer range, the self tanning face gel is very easy to use. The gel comes in a pump action bottle which allows you to dispense a few drops onto your finger. It may take a little bit of trial and error to find what the best amount is for your skin.

Lancome Flash Bronzer self tanning face gel works on all skin types

The gel is almost transparent with a slight orange tint to it but once applied to your skin and allowed to develop it becomes a natural colour giving a healthy looking and even tan.

The flash bronzer is a very light gel and does not clog up your pores if you are susceptible to oily skin. It is therefore suitable for all skin types and the fake tan lasts about seven days before it needs to be topped up. As you only need a small drop on each application the bottle will last a fair while even if you are using it on a regular basis.

The product does give off a slight odour, but overall it is light and not unpleasant compared with some sunless tanners.

The tan takes an hour or so to develop and once that happens it is very natural looking and doesn’t go to dark or too deep.

The Lancome Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel comes in a 50 ml bottle. It retails at between £20 to £25 and is available both online and from most Boots and Lancome counters in department stores.

Many inexperienced self tanners will tend to buy a self tanning spray or cream that serves both the body and the face.

Experienced tanners choose to use a different product for their face. The face is a little more delicate than the rest of your body and as a result a body tanning product can be a little harsh and often needs diluting with moisturiser.

This is an excellent video featuring Sinead Norenius who is the founder of Antidote Skin Care. It is well worth watching as are the other in the series.

With spring around the corner, the newest self tanner has hit the UK’s bulging fake tan market. Australian company, Vani-T is launching its liquid sun spray hoping to win favour with UK self tanning addicts.

The product is believed to have already found favour with a number of celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Anniston.

Liquid Sun adheres to an organic formula which is increasingly in vogue at the moment with competitors like Green People.

Vani-T is favoured by celebrities

The company claims that by using only organic ingredients as well as organic DHA it avoids the nasty chemical odour given off by most fake tanners. Vani-T also claims that after application it only takes an hour for a nice subtle shade to develop.

Vani-T Liquid Sun is available as both a salon and a home based spray which they claim is so smooth and efficient that after a spray gun session, it’s straight on with the clothes and a night out on the town.

The product has already been tried out and early reports are good. There is barely any odour, the initial guide colour upon application is bronze and it does not leave any stains on clothing.

It seems like a winning formula.

The Clarins self tanning instant gel is one of the best self tanners on the market. It has been around a while now and is widely regarded as instrumental in the fake tanning process that began to specifically target people with fairer skin.

The tube is priced between £14 and £18 and is widely available both online and on the high street.It comes in a 125 ml tube and a little goes along way. According to a variety of different users one tube lasts on average between one and two months based on two applications a week.

Clarins call their self tanning product a gel. It is a light bronze colour but the texture is more akin to that of a cream than a gel.

A great product targeting those with sensitive and fair skin

It is an excellent product that can be used even by inexperienced self tanners as it is very forgiving, particularly if you are not someone who is meticulous in preparations such as exfoliating, shaving and moisturising in the build up to applying the self tanner.

It can be used for both the body and the face and once applied has a rather refreshing feel and goes on to achieve very natural looking results.

Indeed, the texture of the gel is very smooth and leaves the epidermis feeling nice and soft. It is just so good for the fairer person with light and sensitive skin.

As the tan starts to develop, the smell from the DHA begins to worsen in line with other self tanning products. It is not bad though and can be likened to a sweetish slightly chemical smell.

Clarins call it a self tanning instant gel, which is probably a little bit of a misconception because it doesn’t develop any quicker than other self tanners. The time for the tan to develop is around two or three hours.

The product is really targeted at those with pale and dry skin. It is too subtle for darker skins or those looking for a deep bronze colour. Overall it is an excellent product and highly recommended.

Paris Hilton, Now 30, Focuses on Self Tanning

Paris Hilton, the celebrity heiress who made a name for herself partying in New York City’s top bars and nightclubs turned the big three zero last week.

In an article recently featured in Culture Map, she talked about the implications for her of turning thirty where she discussed wide ranging issues from babies to self tanning.

Turning thirty often forces both men and women alike to confront the early signs of ageing and natural tanning under the sun, soaking up harmful UV rays is not helpful in countering ageing.

Indeed, the good news for self tanners is that Paris intends to expand her product line to include sunless tanning products.

Paris Hilton will add self tanning lotion to her product line

Paris will also shun the sun and expand her product range to include self tanning lotion.

Her range already encompasses fake nails, fake hair and fake lashes and it is surely a natural progression to embrace fake bake!

The Green People self tan lotion claims to use 88% organic products mainly derived from plant extracts. It is free from chemicals found in other self tanners such as Parabens, Lanolin, phthalates and colourants

The product comes in a push-top dispenser, which makes application very easy and is probably closer to a cream than a lotion in that it is not very runny.

The initial smell of the product is floral with an overlying rose scent. This starts to disappear as the lotion is absorbed into the epidermis, but fortunately there is no DHA odour as the colour develops.

Green People self tan lotion contains organic ingredients

In fact, there is no smell at all, which is a nice change to the unpleasant smell of many self tanning products.

The Green people product is a self tan lotion that is for all skin types, containing organic Aloe Vera, rosehip oil and sandalwood.

The tanned appearance created by the Green people self tan lotion does not protect against UV rays and sun lotion with an appropriate sun filter should be used as required when out in the sun.

The product comes in a 200 ml bottle and retails at around £17. The product may appear expensive, however much less cream is required during application than some inferior self tan lotions.

It is certainly worth paying that extra bit more for a self tanner that does your skin some good and overall it is a good product, especially for those with sensitive skin.

Sun Laboratories have announced they are going to offer their sunless tanner products free to anyone who hasn’t tried them before. The idea is that the free samples are meant as a test to find out whether the product suits a certain skin type.

It has always been a common complaint of self tan users that sometimes buying a self tanner that doesn’t suit their skin type can be a waste of money.

Other concerns of self tan users before buying a product also include whether there are side effects and whether the product can really give the same effect as a natural tan.

Free Tan Samples Are Helpful To Test A Product Before Buying

Sun laboratories are addressing this problem by giving out free samples and therefore asking potential customers to buy only once they are happy with the results.

The sunless tanning samples are completely free, they just charge a nominal processing fee of 1p.

For example, the Ultra Dark Self-Tanning Lotion normally retails at around £20 Other free samples on offer include, Sun Screen Tanning Lotion, Sunscreen Glitter Gel, and the Gift Set Peach Nectar Hand & Body.

Sun Laboratories has been prominent in providing the best fake tanning solutions for a long time now and has a global reputation and customer base. The company also makes body and bath products.

Sunless tanning products range from lotions, mousses, gels, powders and sprays. What is important and a common denominator in applying a sunless fake tan with all these different products successfully is following the correct procedure.

If you want a natural looking best fake tan you must take your time from pre application including exfoliating all the way to post application.

This video gives an excellent overview of how to be disciplined when applying your self tanner to achieve the best result.

Sunless tanners: How to apply sunless tanning lotions to your face

It’s great to have a fake tan but there is a thin line between looking tantastic and looking like you have been tango-ed!

Today the market is flooded with sunless tanners including, sprays, lotions, gels and moisturizers to get a sunless tan. But what if you overdo these products and want to get rid of a fake tan gone wrong?

Use Fake Tan Remover For a Fake Tan Gone Wrong

You will be pleased toknow that there are solutions. There are many self-tanner removers which are readily available in drug stores and work as suitable solutions for removing fake tan.

For example, for those removers that use cream, when you apply the cream onto your skin, it penetrates into the layers of the skin and helps lightens the sunless tanning effect.

A commonly used fake tan remover is Hydrogen peroxide. When you apply this on your tan skin, it forms a sort of liquid exfoliation on the skin and reduces the tan effect. You should be careful of this remover if you have skin allergies

Another method is to use a dermatological buffing cloth available at most beauty salons or stores. When you scrub this onto the tanned portion it helps to fade away the effect and with more extensive use it removes the sunless tanner.

It is also possible to use a lotion with exfoliating alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These lotions exfoliate the dead layer of the epidermis and remove any fake tan gone wrong.

A final and effective, if rather obscure method is to remove the fake tan by rubbing alcohol on your skin. You can rub alcohol on your skin with the help of a cloth and then rinse it with water. The process is then continued until the undesired colour is completely gone.

With the dangers of natural tanning in the sun well highlighted as well as the dangers of UV techniques such as sunbeds many people are now turning to sunless tanning techinques and products.

Self tanning techniques and products are getting better all the time and should be considered for a safe way to get a natural, even bronzed tan.

The video below provides striking images of the results fake tanning can achieve if applied properly. For more information on the best fake tan please navigate our site in both the tanning techiniques and procucts categories.

Sunless Spray Tanning

A fake tan mitt is basically a mitten which you wear when applying fake tan. It has a smooth side, which is usually made from polyurethane foam which should have a  feel not too different to touching velvet.

Using a fake tan mitt helps in the application of the self tanner and should ensure an even application as well as a a streak free tan.

The mitt also has a dual purpose as it ensures that the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet stay clear of self tanner stains.

A fake tan mitt is important for an even application of self tanner

Many of the large self tan product providers give free mitts with their self tanners. If not they are readily available from many high street stores.

Boots offer a self tan mitt for around £3 which is more than satisfactory to use when applying a self tanner.

A little tip when using a tanning mitt is to wipe the back of your hands over with the mitt once you’ve finished applying fake tan to your body as there will still be ample tan left in the mitt to cover the back of your hands perfectly.

The fake tan mitt is reusable and should always be washed in warm and soapy water. It should be washed straight after use. However this is not fool proof and it will be almost impossible to get all the tan out and will leave the mitt stained.

The product is actually meant only for removing self tanner stains from your palms and the soles of your feet after application. However a lot of reviewers have actually used the product successfully to remove fake tan from other parts of the body and the whole body in general.

The St Tropez self tan remover is excellent for cleaning palms stained by fake tanner and is most effective when combined with Wipe away cleansing wipes.

St Tropez fake tan remover for clean palms

The St Tropez fake tan remover comes in a bottle which has a pump action. The pump action can occasionally get clogged up and requires the pump to be removed and rinsed well under hot water.

The product itself comes in the form of a liquid with a ruff grain which is supposed to help scrub away stains from the self tanner product.

The fake tan remover in the St Tropez product description says that the product must be applied to the area with water up to four hours after application.

Again, many reviewers of the product have concluded that it also works well on the removal of stains even a few days after application.

Overall the product is a little on the expensive side as it could be considered a glorified scrub especially considering the ruff grain in the product but if you are intent on keeping clean palms it should be considered on its overall merits.

The organic fake tan is a relatively new niche within the fake tan or sunless tan market.

New and ethical companies such as Green People and Tan Organic are offering self tanning products that are organic and meet the criteria of self tanners who are concerned about sustainability and the environment.

All self tanning products are based around a main tanning ingredient called dihydroxyacetone which is also known as DHA. DHA is a natural ingredient derived from the breakdown of simplesugars.

Organic fake tan products offered by ethical companies are choosing to mix DHA with natural products rather than chemicals offered by the traditional tanning providers.

Help save the environment with an organic fake tan

For example, the organic providers chose to mix DHA with plant derived emulsifiers as well as organic plant oils such as sunflower and olive.

In effect 88% of the ingredients in self tanning products are coming from certified organic sources. All the organic fake tan products are totally free from the chemical non organic ingredients of traditional providers including sodium lauryl, laureth sulphate and parabens which are often used in mainstream cosmetics.

A good example is the product offering from Irish brand, Tan Organic, which is the the first anti-ageing organic self tan. It is Formulated with Aloe Vera and organic DHA. Other organic ingredients include Vitamin B-B and Hyuloronic Acid.

As you would expect from an organic brand, Tan Organic contains no preservatives, synthetic colours, or fragrances and is also free of paraben.

In order to get an even, smooth sunless tan on your legs it is important to undertake the right preparation before applying your sunless tanning product.

The video demonstrates all the processes to follow both before and after application of your self tanner.

Self-tanning products contain a chemical called dihydroxyacetone (or DHA). It is a key component of fake tan products and unfortunately it has a rather unpleasant odour.

In the 1950s research with DHA which at the time was being used as an oral drug for children suffering with glycogen storage disease showed how it could be used as a skin tanning agent.

Children would received doses of DHA by mouth, and sometimes would spill the drug onto their skin. Doctors then noticedthat the epidermis turned brown after a few hours exposure to DHA.

After continued research it was possible to consistently reproduce the pigmentation effect, and it was noted that DHA did not penetrate beyond the dead skin surface layer.

Companies try to mask the odour of DHA

Today, companies producing sunless tanning products try to mask the smell of DHA with essential or natural oils, but unfortunately every self tanning product has some sort of DHA odour with some being more overbearing than others.

Self-tanners tend to start smelling a couple hours after application and the combination of the product with natural body heat makes the smell more obvious.

Sunless tanning products with the least evidence of a DHA aroma include the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tan Spray and the Piz Buin self tanning lotion and colour dial

Current sunless tanners are formulated into sprays, lotions, gels, mousses, and cosmetic wipes as well as professionally applied products including spray tanning booths, and airbrush tan applications.

Many self tanning products are equally available for use both on the body and face.

It is recommended however to use a different specialist lotion or other self tanner solely for your face and different to the product you intend to use on the rest of your body.

This is a useful video that gives a detailed overview of the various procedures in applying self tanner to your face in themost efficient and reliable way in order to get that perfect sunless tan.

Tanning wipes are a relatively new product that has only been around in the last few years.
One of the main advantages is avoiding the mess involved with applying self tanning products such as lotions and sprays.

Tanning wipes are effectively pre-treated towelettes coated in Dihydroxyacetone (also known as DHA) tanning lotion.

The process for applying tanning wipes is relatively straight forward and good results can be achieved evenby those with little experience of self tanning.

The first thing to do is to take a bath or shower, and use a scrub to exfoliate your skin. It is important to get rid of dry areas particularly on areas like the elbow as dry spots tend to absorb more self tanner and become darker than other parts of your body.

Tanning wipes are a relatively new product

It is recommended to start at your feet, and carefully wipe the towelettes over your skin, making sure that every area has an even covering. You should then work your way up through the rest of the body and cover every area that is to be covered with the self tanner.

Following application, it is important to wash your hands since if you forget to do this your palms will turn orange. It is also advisable to scrub finger nails as self tanner can get trapped underneath them and turn them brown.

To get a darker best fake tan it is recommended to add further applications of tanning wipes with a lapse of about 24 hours in between applications.

Using tanning wipes should result in a sunless tan that lasts about a week. Moisturize with regular lotion in between applications will help your skin from drying out.

Some of the best self tanning wipes are available from L’oreal and Ambre Solaire.

Tanning pills contain canthaxanthin, a chemical that is found naturally in many plants as well as animals. The carotene in carrots can change your skin orange if you eat enough of them and in a similar way, large amounts of canthaxanthin can also change the pigment of your skin to a brownish-orange colour

How does canthaxanthin get from a pill to your skin?

Tanning pills are able to work because canthaxanthin dissolves quite easily in lipids which contribute to the fatty layer under the skin. The canthaxanthin molecules attach to this layer of fat cells directly under the skin, giving theepidermis a brownish orange colour.

Are tanning pills safe?

Research is now starting to show up tanning pills side effects. Consuming large amounts of canthaxanthin can damage the eyes as it will settle in the retina as well as the skin. This may cause the formation of crystals in the retinas which will affect your eyesight.

Other tanning pills dangers and side effects have been researched to include nausea and stomach cramps.

With regard to the effectiveness of tanning pills, it can take up to two weeks of consistent use in order to build up enough dye in the epidermis.

There is also the reverse problem. If you take too many pills and discover the skin is too pigmented it could take two weeks after stopping the pills for the epidermis to return to its normal shade.

Tanning pills are probably not the safest way to self tan. Other self tanning products such as sprays, lotions or creams are other safer alternatives.

St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse 200 ml

The St Moritz instant self tanning mousse is a self tanner suitable for all skin types

The self tanning mousse which comes in a 150 ml bottle dispenses via a pump which makes it very easy to control the amount of mousse being applied.

The St Moritz Instant Self Tanning Mousse has been specially developed with ingredients which help to create an instant bronzing effect. It is applied as a tinted mousse, which also means that you can see where you are applying it.

The colour of the foam is dark and rich and looks very similar to the St Tropez mousse. It retails for anything as low as £3 online and can be found in discount stores such as TK Maxx for around £5.

The St Moritz Instant Self Tanning Mousse is good value

As mentioned, although in colour it looks very similar to the St Tropez product, it is much cheaper and obviously this does effect the quality. The consistency can be a little dry and unlike St Tropez, sometimes it does require a little bit of work to blend in the product to avoid being left with patches.

The St Moritz instant self tanning mousse does not have the moisturizing consistency of the more expensive St Tropez product and therefore requires more care and attention to every stroke.

The Fake tan using St Moritz lasts for five days without fading

For the low price the product is excellent value although it does appeal more to the experienced tanner due to the extra work compared to better quality products to get an even all over tan.

Xen Tan offer a dark tanning lotion as a sunless tanner with a natural instant colour.

The dark coloured lotion can at first be off putting but the lotion goes on smoothly and easily; the advantage of the dark colour means that you can see where you are applying it. Although you are left with a slight colour straight away, the real tan will take a few hours to develop properly.

With rich moisturisers and good quality ingredients the Xen Tan dark tanning lotion creates a long lasting and instant natural olive toned tan that doesn’t get blotchy at the ankles or elbows and after a certain amount of time fades away completely evenly.

Xen Tan dark tanning lotion with olive undertones

The pleasantly fresh cherry almond fragrance sets Xen Tan apart from the rather unpleasant smell of poorer quality products.

With olive undertones there is absolutely no chance of the product turning your skin orange. The rich coconut and walnut oils of the Xen Tan dark tanning lotion give a sensual and calming sensation and gives a tan that can last twice as long as other products.

With regard to application of the Xen Tan dark tanning lotion it is best to add a thin coat for a lighter tan with one or two thicker applications to achieve a desirable darker olive tan.

For a 236 ml bottle the price ranges from as low as £18 online up to £25 on the high street.

When applying self tanning lotion you need to be patient throughout the process and will be rewarded with a streak free natural looking tan.

Try and exfoliate several days before applying the fake tan lotion, so that the tanner doesn’t have to work through dead layers of skin. This can be done by using a body scrub all over including areas that tend to be dry like elbows.

As well as exfoliating in the build up, it is important to moisturize every day by applying body lotion after every shower, as when it comes to tanning, the body needs to start at an even base. Many areas are much drier than other areas which will soak up the self tanner  which leads to patchycolouring. Moisture certainly helps even this out.

Be patient when applying self tanning lotion

You must take your time applying tanning lotion. Start with one specific area of your body. Focus on this area and don’t rush and you will get better results. Your knees, ankles and elbows are usually first to show if you don’t apply self tanner correctly so it is worthwhile mixing half self tanner and half moisturizer for more even results.

Try and use latex gloves as self tanner stains and will be hard to scrub off bare hands.

An important tip is to avoid applying self tanner in the bathroom. Moisture and sweat in a steamy bathroom can cause self tanner to drip causing streaks. Hot skin straight after a shower will also have the same affect.

Once the fake tan has been applied, wait half an hour for it to dry before you get dresses as it may stain your clothes.

Airbrush tanning works by using a spray gun to apply the tanning product on to your skin. Although it may sound complicated, actually, applying an airbrush tan can be done at home using a home kit and not just in a professional salon.

Like other fake tan products, the airbrush tanning product must contain dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA,  that reacts with the amino acids found in the epidermis to create the chemical reaction that produces the fak tan.

What are the benefits of spray tanning

One of the main benefits of the airbrush tan is that it allows for total skin coverage with virtually no streaking which is one of the constant battles that face sunless tanners.

As well as its great coverage, the airbrush spray tan is also one of the easiest methods to self tan either by using an airbrush solution at home with a spray tan kit or having the airbrush tanning solution professionally applied at a salon.

If you are apprehensive either of applying the tanning spray yourself or are shy about visiting a tanning salon there is another option which is becoming more popular. This option is to employ a mobile Tanning professional to visit you in your home.

Tanning professionals are required to have completed training and many may promote the products or are tied to a certain self tan provider. They are auseful alternative.

Getting the correct airbrush tanning product

As all people have different skin, it is really hard to say that one particular airbrush tanning product is ideal for everyone. To reduce any error when looking for an airbrush spray tan product, it may be worth consulting a dermatologist.T

The advantage of this being that the dermatologist will have a good idea of your skin type and as a result can make an informed recommendation as to the type of airbrush spray tan product that is most likely to produce the best results for your skin.

The Afterglow spray tan machine is one of a number of professional airbrush tanning kits which are simple to use yet give professional salon standard results, even for the novice user.

No experience or prior training is required to use the machine. The spray tan airbrush is very easy to use, quick to set up and is perfect for use either at home, in a small salon or by freelance beauticians.

The Afterglow airbrush tanning machine for an easy to use spray tan

The Afterglow spray tan machine comes with an exfoliating sea salt scrub which is applied approximately 7 hours before using the spray tan machine since spray tans require preparation to give the most effective results.

Following the exfoliating preparation, using the Afterglow tan machine takes only minutes to apply and dries almost instantly meaning that you can use it on the same day as a night out.
The Afterglow spray tan machine is simple but effective.

It contains a cosmetic bronzer which provides an instant fake tan. The active ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone otherwise known as DHA starts to develop and takes over the fading bronzer and the resulting spray tan will last for around a week.

The afterglow spray tan machine is available both online and in the high street. The starting price for the product is around £170 and upwards and comes highly recommended by tanning specialists.

Unlike many other self tanning lotions this product can be used on both the face and body and once applied it provides intense hydration and leaves your skin sublimely soft and smooth.

Piz Buin self tanning lotion has a rather nice aroma

As far as fake tanning products go the Piz Buin self tanning lotion + colour dial smells fairly nice, a little like sun cream lotion. This is good because it is not uncommon for people to have a suspicion that you are wearing fake tan by its smell rather than colour.

L’Oreal sublime bronze self tan spray is one of a multitude of tanning sprays that are available on the market.

It is generally easy to apply, with perhaps the exception of the back area, which can be slightly awkward as the nozzle does have a tendency to get a little bit stiff.

The product dries reasonably quickly and you can feel that it moisturises at the same time. It is great for very fair skin as it is not too noticeable when it starts to wear out which means that any up keep is kept to a minimum.

The colour is quite natural and it does not become streaky or patchy like some other spray products; additionally, it does not stain clothing.

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze

Although overall a very good product, there are a couple of very small problems that should be highlighted.

It does seem that no matter how many times you wash your hands during the application process, you still get a small amount of colouring on your hands. In view of this it is probably best to use gloves.

The spray gives out a smell that is not overly pleasant. It resembles hairspray whilst developing but then again there are very few spray tan products on the market that don’t give off some kind of odour

The price of the product ranges from £10 to £15 for a 125 ml bottle and it is widely available through a variety of stores including Boots and Morrisons.

St Tropez self tan bronzing lotion is one of the best products currently on the market. It is the lotion to use if you want a smooth, natural looking tan that gives the impression that you have actually just come back from a sunny holiday on the French Riviera!

You can see that a lot of research and development has gone into bringing this lotion onto the market; it is one of the few self tanners that successfully disguise stretch marks and other blemishes on the skin.

The Lotion contains aloe vera, which assists in helping skin absorb the lotion, taking it deep into the epidermis. Aloe vera also reduces the need to rub the tan in, instead allowing you to gently stroke it onto the skin. After as little as three hours but preferably overnight, the coloured base is then washed off to reveal newly tanned skin.

St Tropez Self tan lotion – one of the best products on the market

The lotion also contains a guide colour – a light brown which is a vegetable dye so that you can actually see where you are putting the lotion which helps to avoid ending up with large white patches.

It only develops to a single maximum strength meaning that you won’t end up with patchy areas where you may have applied either too little or too much lotion. As long as you have covered all your skin then the tan will not streak, or appear patchy

The lotion is widely available in most stores and it comes in either a 120 ml or 240 ml (free latex gloves) bottle with prices ranging from £15 to £ 30 pounds.

A few years ago due to the poor quality of the products, to get the darkest fake tan was not an alternative to a real tan but rather a fashion statement. These days, as fake tan products look increasingly realistic more people are deciding to stay in the shade and apply a fake tan; it’s not just serious illness that people are worried about. Too much time in the sun can also mean premature aging and deterioration of the skin.

When you first start using sunless tanning products use an approach so that your new colour tone appears natural. First of all, start off slow. You don’t want to go from white as a sheet to having the darkest fake tan straight away. If you have never used these products it really is best to begin with amoisturizer that has some tint to it. Apply this moisturizer all over your body, dailyfor a week, and see what that it does to your skin tone. You should see a slight darkening inside your skin, along with a little bit of color in your cheeks

Gradually increase the tanner to get the darkest fake tan

After using of the moisturizer for a week take a note of your skin colour. Now that you are using a tanner along with the moisturizer, your skin will get a little darker each day. If the progression of your skin colour is too slow then add a bit more tanner to the mixture. Eventually, you will get to the skin colour that you want.

When you reach this desired skin colour, slow down the use of the tanner, and only use it every three or four days. For the days in between, continue to use the slightly tinted moisturizer for the most fresh looking darkest fake tan every day.

Before you spray tan it is important to exfoliate. Exfoliating enables the spray tan solution to dye the layer of skin that is likely to last the longest. Shaving the legs is a further beneficial idea since this can assist exfoliating the skin. Moisturiser should also be applied to the tops of the feet, elbows & heels and makeup removed prior to a spray tan

Dihydroxyacetone is the main active ingredient in all sunless tanning products. It may be used alone or combined with other tanning components like erythrulose. DHA is considered the most successful sun-free tanning additive.

DHA  is derived from sugar cane and used to end up being given to children who suffered from a condition where they could not naturally produce glucose in their own bodies. The children received doses of DHA by mouth which was sometimes spilledaccidentally onto their pores and skin. Healthcare workers noticed that the skin turned brown after a few hours of DHA exposure and the sun tanning effects of DHA were discovered

Who should apply your spray tan?

The best way to get good spray tans is by going to a skilled tanning specialist. The therapist will talk you through the procedure and apply the spray tan as evenly as possible. Many professional salons have great offers all year round making indulging an affordable treat for everyone.

After a spray tan, you must not shower for a minimum of four hours; this allows the DHA to take full effect. Over the following days the leading layer of your skin naturally sheds in order to give way to newer skin. Because the top layer of skin is the part that’s dyed by the DHA, the tan wears away steadily. To extend the effects of spray tans, you must employ moisturiser regularly.

The fake tan has gained enormous popularity over the past few years as more and more people have become conscious about the damaging consequences associated with UV rays. Everyone would like to have a good healthy looking darker skin tone and the best way to accomplish this is through fake tan.

There are two basic ways to get a fake tan. One is through using sun tanning beds at salons and the other is through employing tanning lotions and creams. Tanning beds use ultra violet rays from artificial sources, so they are not really a healthier alternative to sun.

Instead, fake tan lotions are a significantly better choice andthey are the a completely healthy way of getting a tan. By using these, you can get a stunning look without the threat of skin cancer and premature aging.

The advantages of a fake tan

There are many fake tan products available on the marketplace now and it can be difficult to choose which one to buy. It is important to be careful about certain things when you want to achieve the perfect fake tan.

The first step is to look for a good quality fake tan product by a reputed brand. It may end up being a little bit pricey, but it will give much better results than cheaper options.

Ultimately, tanning is a personal choice. It is important that everyone be well informed of the risks that tanning can cause. People that care enough about their pores and skin will certainly choose to use a self-tanning product and apply sunscreen every day that they are out in the sun.

It is better to have a fake tan than to develop premature wrinkles, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

Spray tanning is one of several alternatives to sunbathing and there are several ways to get a spray on tan. The most common are to opt for a booth or alternatively have the tanning solution sprayed directly on your body by a qualified specialist.

Spray tanning salons are increasing in numbers but the end result of a spray tan will differ greatly between salons because this type of sunless tanning is based on the type and quality of equipment used. Some spray on tanning machines are technically advanced and provide an even tan, whereas other machines are not as accurate and the results will be less impressive. It is the end result which matters and if the salon has hi-tech and qualityequipment your tan is more likely to come out nice and even.

An advanced spray on tanning machine will give you the option to decide how dark you want your skin to be. It will also have proper drainage and ventilation. This is important because the spray itself is not safe to breathe and can irritate the eyes. If yyou want to buy spray tanning equipment please visit our online shop.

Spray tanning done by hand

This is the case for automated spray on tanning, however, if your spray tan is done by hand then what really matters is the experience and skills of the tanning specialist who is spraying your body. Some spray tanners are excellent whilst others may be inexperienced or mediocre. Professionals are actually trained and undergo intense spray on tanning courses.

Unfortunately, you won’t know the standard of the spray tanner until after your tan, although one sign of mediocrity is that the tanner might try to spray you in places that he or she has missed to correct some mistakes.

If you are looking for a best fake tan for face product there are many options available today; below are the three main options available to achieve a best fake tan for face look.

* Fake tan creams are much like the creams that are used on the body as a moisturizer. The cream has to be spread over the skin and has to be rubbed in. Once the cream is applied, your skin will start showing a bronze or a brown tinge. This is one of the easiest products to use on the face.

* Fake tan lotions are much like creams but they are not as heavy or thick. The lotions too have to be applied in the same way. Oneof the main benefits of using best fake tan for face dark lotion is that it spreads easily and more evenly and provides a very even tan.

* Fake tan sprays are bottled mist that has to be sprayed onto the face or the body and then rubbed in. However, if the spray is not used correctly, it can provide spotty tan and an uneven look.

Giving your face an even dark fake tan

Before you select a dark fake tan product, you will have to remember that all of these products are temporary and you should first test the product before applying them to your face. The results will generally last for a few days.

You should also keep your skin type in mind when selecting the product. Ensure that you first apply the product on a small area, preferably one which would remain covered up by your clothes. Once you test the product you should be able to know what type of results to expect when using it on your face.

It is also a good idea to use all three kinds of best fake tan for face products before you select one. Since most of these products are not really expensive and several manufacturers provide free samples, you can test lotions, creams as well as sprays to see which one suits you the best and which one provides you with the best results.

Any product that you select should be able to provide you with an even dark fake tan and should be easy to use. You should also keep in mind that a good product will provide you with results that should at least last for a few days.
