Coco Chanel was a fashion goddess but the most fabulous thing she gave us was the fad of the tan. Until she returned from her vacation to be photographed in all her bronzed splendor, people everywhere thought it gorgeous to be pasty. Little improves a look as well as a body flushed with sunlight, but in this era, we get the effect with the best self tanning lotion.

We're now aware that lying on the roof on tinfoil is dangerous. That's why bottled tan was invented. You could visit the salon to be professionally sun kissed but it's far simpler and cheaper to buy the effect in a container.

Using a bottle to bronze can be intimidating if you've never done it before. We've all seen that orange faced, streaky look made popular by television anchor men and there's little as embarrassing as achieving that look yourself. With this guide, you'll be able to tan with confidence.

Most products have typified the terrible aroma attached with these tanners. It comes from the chemical, DHA, contained in all these lotions. It only starts to reek with a few hours' contact with flesh, so there's no use taking a whiff of the bottle to test it. Simply slather it on a wrist and see what develops in time before you make your selection.

Some products are able to mask the odor using additional fragrances. Others use less of the active ingredient. The latter products will need to be applied in layers as they won't create an immediately strong color.

Keep in mind that some lotions take hours to dry. It's pointless to waste so much time. Simply look for a product that dries in a few moments.

The reason you need to be sure to do this is that wondering around in your bare, slathered body for hours is bound to have bad results. Firstly, you'll end up with tanner on your cushions and linen. Secondly because when it does rub off, it'll create pale patches that won't look natural.

Your character will also help your selection. Beginners might want to avoid creams in the beginning, as will eternal rushers. For them, spray bottles suit best. Lotions are great for those who have more time and practice.

It's often inappropriate to use the same tanner for both face and body. Lighter complexions shouldn't go overboard with dark hues. Deeper complexions will see little difference if they use a product that's too light.

Even if you have the best tanner possible, if you don't prepare your body, disaster can strike. Shower first, using a good exfoliator to slough off dead skin that will give an uneven look. Cover yourself with a light moisturizing cream, using an oilier one on ankles, wrists and elbows, which tend to darken too much. Then wait half an hour for your skin to regain its natural PH balance.

Gaining a darkened flush without damaging your skin is simple. Creating good body groundwork is vital. Even more important is your selection of the best self tanning lotion.
