Facts About Choosing Homemade Or Manufactured Self Tanning Lotions

By Veronica Cappelletti


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.

Alternatively, you can try making your own homemade lotion. You will find a number of easy to make recipes on the internet that use everyday household ingredients. You will find step by step instructions on how to mix, use and store your home-made lotion.

You can also download instructions and tips on how to moisturize and cleanse your skin for tanning. There is no ambiguity about the ingredients being used. You know that there are none of the potentially harmful ingredients that can occasionally be found in commercial products.

Health stores sell a range of natural and herbal products for self tanning. These natural products are beneficial if your skin is sensitive because they do not contain chemicals. They are made from herbs and plants and should not cause any adverse skin reactions.
