Exfoliating Is The Key To A Beautiful Sunless Tan
Ever since Coco Chanel popularized the tanned look in the 1920s
, the evolution of tanning has included tanning beds and lamps, spray-on booths, and the most recent sunless tanning technology. Because natural sunbathing and tanning beds and lamps involve exposing the skin to harmful UV rays, sunless tanning lotions have now become the rage.
The topical application of sunless tanning lotions, sprays and creams is not only easy and convenient as you can use it anywhere, but its also a lot cheaper as going to tanning salons cost a great deal. But there is one thing you must do several days before applicationand this is what provides the most inconvenience as not doing it will result to an uneven tan. So, whats this important ritual? You need to exfoliate, thats what! And why is this ritual so important, even if youre not going to apply sunless tanning lotion?
Heres what exfoliating the different parts of your body can do:
Face helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and fine lines.
Legs gives you smooth and spot-free skin that wont run your stockings.
Arms gives you silky-soft skin that is perfect for that strapless dress!
Knees and Elbows prevents blackening and the development of flaky skin.
Feet prevents cracked heels and streaking when applying sunless tanning lotion.
So, how does the simple act of exfoliating do all of this? The logic behind this is kind of simple, yet based on scientific facts. We have dead skin cells in our body that are sloughed away weekly as new healthy skin replaces it. Now what happens if you dont exfoliate? The dead skin cells stay stuck on your skin and clogs your pores! Dead skin cells are not the only thing that can block your pores. The dirt that your skin encounters everyday also clogs up your skins poresmaking it difficult for it to absorb moisture.
When your pores get clogged, no matter how you moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated so that it will be smooth and supple, the moisturizing solution or formula cant anymore penetrate your skin! This is what causes dry and flaky skin. This is also what causes an uneven tan. Exfoliating your entire body not only gives you younger-looking and smoother skin, it also prepares it for the application of sunless tanning lotion.
Imagine if your skins pores are clogged in some areas. Now, when you apply
sunless tanning lotion, the solution will not be properly absorbed by some parts of your skin. This then causes patches of dark and white skin to form. Does it seem ugly? Well, it definitely is! I dont think Ill be able to go out of the house with that kind of skinwell, maybe if I wear long sleeves! Hahaha! Ok, it might sound funny now, but when it actually happens to you, believe you me, you wont be laughing!
So, for those of you who not only wants to be tan, but also wants younger-looking and smoother skin, please include exfoliating in your daily beauty regimen. Exfoliate and then moisturize and your skin will definitely get that even and beautiful tan when
self tanning at home!
