Everyone wants to be a tanned goddess, right? Well, you can be if you use sunless tanners. They can be time consuming and a pain, but the results are worth it. Plus, you really save your skin in the end. I love sunless tanners because you look tan, but without the skin cancer and wrinkles the real sun leaves you with. If done right you can control the color you end up with. Just do not overdue it. I know people think you will get an “orange” look, but now the market has really good products. Over time they have perfected the science to sunless tanning and making it look real. I will tell you how to obtain the tanned goddess look, and give you valuable tips along the way. Believe me, I have learned from my mistakes.



You really have to be careful when using sunless tanners. First rule is, never use sunless tanners if your skin is dry. The color will be attracted to the dry areas and your look will be really blotchy. Yuck. If you have dry skin work on moisturizing it and getting it re-hydrated before starting a sunless tanner.



The first step to sunless tanning, or re-hydrating your skin, is to get a good body scrub. There are two kinds of scrubs you can use, salt scrub or sugar scrub. You can use either one you would like. The difference is that the salt scrubs have bigger granules than the sugar scrubs will. Look at a piece of salt (sea salt) and compare it to a piece of sugar. The sugar scrub will be less abrasive on your skin. I recommend using a sugar scrub if your skin is sensitive. The purpose to using a scrub is to scrub and exfoliate the dead dry skin off your body. This will leave behind smooth, soft skin. In turn you will not be a blotchy tanned goddess. Remember, if you have really dry skin when you start this process, it might be a good idea to do the process a couple of times. If your skin still feels dry, wait to sunless tan. Get your skin conditioned for the sunless tanning lotion. If you don’t, it will look really bad. Listen to me. So, finding a scrub is pretty easy. Look at Target, Wal-Mart, salons. The salt scrub will be easier to find. Make sure you can use the scrub on your face. Some recommend you don’t. I always used it on my face anyways, I just rub really gently. A lot of face washes have scrub in them, you could use that too. Dove has one that I like. Just do not use a scrub that comes from a pit on your face. For example, St.Ives has an apricot scrub. Apricots have pits; you do not want to use this. It is too abrasive on your face. What they do it smash the apricot pit and you get these tiny pieces that are not smooth. Then you rub it on your face. A good way to explain what you are rubbing on your face is almost like little jagged pieces of glass. Say you smash a mirror; you get tiny pieces of uneven glass. They can have sharp edges, and that is what you are rubbing onto your face. This will put tiny microscopic little cuts on your face. That is an opening for bacteria and germs, which in turn will make your face break out. This will make your face break out if you just use that to wash your face. Then, you are going to put the sunless tanner on, that will make you break out more. Watch out for products that say “natural” on them. They probability come from pits. It sounds good on paper, but it is really bad for your face. If you find the face washes, like Dove, they have soft, round, micro beads that are used to exfoliate. This is what you want to use on your face.
