Indoor Tanning Tips for Men
Tanning for men, can be a challenge as there are so many different products and techniques to get the job done. Surprisingly, but one of the most important indoor tanning tips for men is to avoid going out into the sun to get your golden color. Instead, use a gradual color enhancer lotion, sunless self-tanning spray or just let the tanning bed to do the job.
Sunless Tanning
Not all men like sun or prefer tanning their skin this way. Sun may require much time, extra sun protection, and of course after sun care cosmetics where I typically use my favorite Aloe after sun gel. There are a variety of sunless tanning products on the market. These products produce a chemical-based tan that allows users to appear tanned without requiring them to sit in the sun. Generally, these products are labeled as bronzers and many times, these types of products are available in the form of powders, sprays, mousse, gels and lotion. If you choose this option – beware. These types of products can rub off onto clothing and can also leave your skin with unattractive streaks if not applied correctly.
If you don’t want to commit to color, a gradual color enhancer lotion might be your best bet. However, if you’re looking for a more permanent solution for bronzed skin, opt for a spray tan. A Lynchburg spray tan can be performed at a tanning parlor like at Bestheticians, which involves spraying the entire body with a super-fine bronzing mist. Spray tans are one of the most convincing sunless tanning options available and are favored by many celebrities throughout the world.
