However, the danger comes in when they are applied improperly, in which case sunless tanning can really look very uneven and impressively unnatural. The following steps will guide you to an appropriate application of sunless lotions.
1. Prepare for the tanning work. It is true that a mere slap of these tanning lotions is enough and you can just let them perform their magic. The problem is that you will not get a good tan like the one that you could have acquired in case you prepared the skin well. This now means you need to moisturize the skin regularly for the few days that lead up to the day when application of the lotion will commence. Avoid shaving and waxing the legs several hours before you apply the lotion. Exfoliate regularly such that applying this sunless lotion will result in a fresh skin.
2. Be properly dressed for the application job. Always wear just the very same outfit whenever you are applying different sunless lotions. The reason is because many different outfits are sure to leave behind different ugly patches of your skin exposed and this will give you a very uneven tan. It is better to remain naked and do the tanning all over the body.
3. Your toes should start and then you should work your way upwards. Take all your time so as to make sure you are spreading the sunless tanning lotion in all areas very evenly. Then use a small brush for the back. You may even choose a paint roller so as to reach all body areas. You will hopefully get a double-mirror to see your back as you work. Ask your friend and family members to ensure it looks quite right.
4. Make use of only the right amount of lotion. Don't use too little lotion for sunless tanning since the effects will not be good at all. Don't use much of it either since you are going to risk ending up with a very uneven tan. Use only a little bit more of lotion than the one you would actually use if you were applying a daily moisturizer-lotion.
5. Maintain focus on the mirror. Immediately sunless tanning lotion is applied, take a very good look at your work in the mirror. Ensure that it is very even. You must not have missed any spots. Ensure that you have washed any excess tanning lotion. Ensure that none of the lotion has gotten stuck on the hair.
6. Relax. This is in order to let the tanning lotion dry up before doing anything or going anywhere. Don't get dressed quickly since the lotion can transfer to your clothes and this will mess up the outfit as well as ruin your favorite tan. You may feel free to indulge in a pastime activity as you wait for the lotion to dry up.
