There are many occasions when a medium to deep, healthy looking suntan is the perfect backdrop for a special outfit or event. Everyone wants to look their best. Unfortunately there is not always the time or the proper rays available to achieve such a look. Sun Laboratories Medium Before and After products provide a natural looking medium to dark tan in just a few hours. They are easy to use and economical to buy.



The dangers of UV rays often cause sun worshipers to seek alternative methods to achieve the glow they want without the risk. Self-tanners allow this all year round, regardless of the climate or weather where they live. Such products also moisturize and make skin feel soft.

Begin the self-tanning process by preparing the skin for application. Using a loofah and exfoliating cream will help remove dead skin cells and let the new skin underneath absorb the tanning lotion quickly. Better absorption will help hydrate and protect the skin as well as making it look healthy.



Staining of the palms is a problem for many users when applying self-tanning products. Avoid the stains by wearing inexpensive disposable latex gloves and throwing them away when done. If palms do get stained, make a paste of baking soda and water and use it like soap to remove them. A pumice stone used with cleanser can also help clean away stains from self-tanning products.

Dark streaks or orange lines may show up in areas of the body where self-tanning lotion has not been properly applied. Work carefully to blend the product in areas that have wrinkles or creases like around the knuckles on the fingers or facial creases and laugh lines. The thickness of the product is beneficial to show where it needs to be rubbed in more, as those areas will be darker. Rubbing the lotion in thoroughly will aid absorption and show a more even tan.

Hard-to-reach areas need not be a problem. Taping gauze pads to a ruler or long handled spoon will help apply lotion to unreachable places on the body. Having a partner apply the product may be more fun. Dispose of the used gauze immediately to avoid stains or the risk of ingestion by pets. While the ingredients may not be harmful, the possibility of choking on the cause is.

Sun Laboratories Before and After sun and skincare products that help develop medium to dark tans are made with all natural ingredients that begin working in about three hours to provide a buildable foundation that leads to a sun-kissed appearance. Repeated applications will help darken the overall look. It is generally recommended for use before bedtime to allow total absorption into the skin.

Don't shower or swim too soon after applying Sun Laboratories Medium Before and After products unless you want a lighter tan as some may wash off if not totally absorbed. This is another reason why use at bedtime is recommended. Some product may rub off on the sheets, but easily washes out in the laundry.
