The key is to select the right product. The market is filled with options, but interaction with the epidermis's outer layer are best. For sunless tanners that promote the theory that the under layer can be darkened should be avoided.

Lotions, creams, powders, and sprays are common forms of sunless tanners. Research has shown that lotions last longer, but sprays achieve better results. This is because those applying them can reach areas that are difficult for an individual. Sunless sprays also go on more evenly than those in other forms.

Working with sunless tanners takes some time so individuals need to be prepared to spend 45 minutes to 1 hour applying products and another 3 hours drying. Despite this fact, changes in the industry have made application and results of sunless products easier, faster, and more convenient than ever. There is no reason today that an individual cannot achieve that sun-kissed look that is so popular.
