Good Tips For The Use Of Dark Self Tanner Accessories

By Haywood Hunter


Dark self tanner products are ideal for someone who wants a darker skin tone, but perhaps doesn't have the time to spend many hours in the sun. People may, however, be a little nervous to use the product, as it has been known that rather unattractive results are sometimes achieved. A person may compare their results with a dark self tanner product to the results shown on television adverts, and wonder why they don't seem to be the same.



It is most distressing when money is paid for a product, which in this case is a dark self tanner product, and to only a achieve a tan that looks very fake and orange-like. Then you don't feel very confident to go out in public, as people will know that you have ineffectively used a fake tan product. It is never nice to feel as if you have wasted money either.

However, with the correct research, self-tanners are now being manufactured to produce a tan that is as natural-looking as it can ever get. The reason why many skin tanners turn your skin orange rather than that tangy brownish tan color has to do mostly with the ingredients used to manufacture the product. Dihydroxyacetone, which is the main ingredient used to give the skin its tanned color in many dark self tanner products when used excessively turns the skin orange.



If a dark self tanner product is not carefully applied, the results could be an orange skin as well. There could also be problems with an uneven skin color, with streaks of white or darker discolorations. The directions on the product must be strictly followed, and it is a good idea to cover your hands during the application as well.

Dark self tanner products that are produced nowadays have a green-based tint, which is their color base. This is preferably because it goes well with all skin types and colors. A good tan is created because most skins have a red undertone which is compatible with the green tint.

People who have used dark self tanner products will also tell you that the scent of the product is something that may discourage many from trying out the product. The strong scent is caused by the same chemical that makes your skin to turn orange. While a few people might be able to put up with the scent, many manufacturing companies have come up with creative ways to reduce the scent.

Certain dark self tanner products have quite a strong smell, which is mostly considered as pleasant. The skin will then smell more like it has been smoothed with a body lotion, rather than a tanning product. The user of Dark Self Tanner should just be aware that their skin could have an allergic reaction to certain fragrances.

There are other minor challenges that people who use dark self tanner products face. The ones discussed here are just but a few of those. Challenges may vary according to an individual's skin composition. Researching for the best product wills suit your skin will go a long way in eliminating some of these woes.
