Different types of fake tanning products

If you want to start using fake tan then looking to buy a fake tanning product can sometimes be daunting due to the fact that there are so many different types of products available. This page has information on the different types of fake tanning products.

Fake tanning mousse is a light fluffy mousse which you can place onto a tanning mitt and them rub into your skin in a circular motion to ensure that it penetrates the skin. Most mousses provide an instant colour which is usually called a guide colour. This is here to ensure that you know the areas which you have applied the tan to, ensuring that you do not have any patches or streaks. You should leave the tan on for up to 4 hours and then shower off the guide colour leaving you with a natural colour, which will not run in the rain. If you want a deeper colour then you can easily apply the mousse again and repeat the process.

Fake tanning lotion is very popular and is produced by many fake tanning manufactures . The tan is applied using either latex gloves or a tanning mitt. The colour can sometimes look very dark on the MIT or gloves but as you begin to apply the fake tanning ingredient you will see that it glides over the skin and leaves a gorgeous bronze colour. If the colour is darker than you anticipated do not worry as the tan takes 4-6 hours to develop. Once you have a shower the guide colour will wash off and leave you with a natural tan! Some tanning products also have anti-cellulite properties which can boost your confidence!

Gradual tan moisturisers are great for people who are new to fake tanning but are worried about using mousses and lotions. Gradual tan helps you to build up a natural tan over a few days if you apply it every night before you go to bed. Make sure that you allow sufficient time for the moisturiser to dry. Not only does this type of moisturiser leave you with a healthy colour it also moisturises your body. If you are using the gradual tanner regularly you should also notice that you have soft legs and have improved your skin circulation. Massaging moisturiser into your legs can also improve your natural skin tone due to the movement of blood.

Fake tanning sprays and mists are a great way of tanning yourself in an alternative way. If you are looking to use spray tanning products at home then you should ensure that you are in a ventilated area as sometimes you can inhale the mist which can cause you to cough. You should also do this 30cm from the body to ensure that you get an even coverage. You may also have to put towels on the floor as you may get excess mist which may spread to the floor.

Instant fake tanning products are essential if you are in a rush. Instant fake tanning products come in a number of finishes from glittery or shimmery to a matte finish (which usually looks more natural). Instant tans can be applied using mitts or gloves and can last up until you decide to wash them off with soap and water. Instant tanners are usually water proof to avoid rain causing streaks. If you are in a rush and don't have the time to have a full fake tanning session this is a great way to still look bronzed when you are pushed for time.
