Ask for advice from a professional. Your dermatologist should offer you advice on getting a good dark lotion for tanning. Depending on your skin type, they will tell you which product is best and how you should use it to get the best results.

Exfoliate your skin so that you can take off the dead skin to expose the healthy skin underneath. Also, shave off the unwanted hair so that the dark lotion can be fully absorbed. Take a shower before using the lotion so that your skin can be fresh and look invigorated when tanned.



Do not use the lotion on your skin if you are prone to skin allergies. Alternatively you can use the dark lotion on a small part of your body and let it stand for some time. If there is no allergic reaction resulting, you can proceed to use it on your whole body. This is especially if you have a big event that you are attending.

Put on a pair of gloves when using the product. This will prevent you from getting dark palms due to the tanning effect of the product. Apply it to your body while wearing a pair of gloves and then using a piece of sponge to apply the dark lotion to the back of your hands. You can also wash your hands after using the lotion if you do not have a pair of gloves with you.

Hydrate your skin. Applying dark lotion will only serve the purpose of giving your skin a pigmentation and will not in any way influence moisture content of your skin. Ensure that you take a lot of water prior to using any dark lotion for tanning. Also, add some glycerin to your tanning lotion to give the skin some extra moisture.

Tanning lotion should work hand in hand with sun protection lotion. To keep you from forgetting top wear your sunscreen, make a formula using equal volumes of both your dark lotion and your sunscreen. This way whenever you put on your dark tanning lotion you will have the added benefit of sun protection, and your skin will be free from sun irritation and sunburn at all times.

Do not shower immediately after you get your tan. You may only be allowed to do this if in the label of the dark lotion you have been asked to rinse off the tanning product. If so, rinse with water only as using soap may completely wash off the tan. Also, once you use the product let it dry for some time before putting on your clothes. Take your time and choose wisely.
