| Do Self Tanners Really Work? |
|
|
Every summer my sister and I are very impatient to get tan. We usually
use various sun creams and sun oils. All stuff we used was supposed to
help us get tan faster and deeper. Of course, we used only
sun-protecting creams. We are “big girls” already and we know what the
consequences of over exposure to the sun are.
We have heard all the
warnings of doctors and specialists so we knew that we have to find
alternative ways to get a tan. Moreover, we really wanted to get a tan
but sun exposure requires time. My sister told me that she had heard
from her daughter about self-tanners. She claimed that my niece liked
the results self-tanners were providing. From the moment I heard this I
knew that I would give it a try.
Several years ago, I didn’t like the results of the self-tanners. I remember the orange people I have met. People who used self-tanners were gaining a strange orange tint. My sister was sure that self-tanners are not still so bad. She claimed that the self-tanners have improved a lot. Just two days after our conversation about self-tanners, I met my sister. I noticed that she had gained a nice healthy tan. She told me she had applied a self-tanner three times after our previous conversation.
She was very glad of the results the self-tanners gave but she only complained that knees and elbows were a bit dirty looking. She admitted that she had not followed the instructions concerning the knees and the elbows.
I was so amazed of the results that the self-tanner had given that after our lunch I went to drug store to purchase a self-tanner. I was surprised of the number of different self-tanners that are available on the market.
There were so many brands and prices – I was not able to choose. The self-tanners offered by well-known companies were quite expensive. I just stated to read the labels of the self-tanners in order to make my decision easier.
I noticed another client of the drug store who was having a very nice and healthy tan. I approached her and I asked her whether she had used a self-tanner. She told me that she had tried a self-tanner in the past.
She told me also that she thought that it would be better for me to take a moisturizer with self-tanners in it. She had found that moisturizers with self-tanners do not cause discoloration of the palms or knees and elbows.
So, I decided to purchase a moisturizer with self-tanner. Such product is easier to apply as you can use it as a body lotion after you take a bath for example. I applied this type of self-tanner and after a few days, I noticed that my skin has a wonderful tan.
What is more, the moisturizer with self-tanners was much cheaper than the other products. I found out that self-tanners do not build up a base for tanning in the sun. I was glad that I have found a self-tanner that best matches my skin.
