Finding the best self tanning lotion for your skin type is a great way to keep a nice, even color year round. There are however, several things you should do to maximize the results of any product that you use. A little extra diligence in the application process will ensure that you don't wind up with uneven areas or unsightly streaks.

Even the very best product requires a careful application. The steps you take prior to using the skin treatment are just as important as how you apply it. You should never return directly from the store, strip nude and simply start slathering the tanner on. In fact, it is extremely important for you to take the time to thoroughly read and understand all of the manufacturer instructions before beginning any part of the application process.

The next thing you should do is to take a nice warm bath. You do not want to shave your legs or any other area of the body before using the lotion. If you have especially sensitive skin your skin may have a negative reaction once you begin to put the tanner on.

While in your bath you want to gently exfoliate your skin in every area that you plan to treat. By removing dead, dry skin you create an even and smooth surface which will allow for equally even and smooth results. You can do this best by using a cotton washcloth. It is generally a good idea to avoid using a loofah or other similarly abrasive scrubbers as these can result in streaking when you apply the tanning solution.

You may want to invest in a snug bikini bottom to wear while applying the solution. Choosing a dark pair of bottoms will reduce the amount of visible fabric damage that is caused by applying the product. If you plan on tanning your buttocks you can always select a bikini option in the t-back or g-string style.

This level of preparation helps you make sure that you will get optimal results when using the best self tanning lotion. Online research can help you find numerous other tips for a successful application, including which products you might want to purchase to help spread the product over various body areas. Getting properly equipped for a full body treatment will allow you to look absolutely golden from head to toe.
