In recent years an alternative to regular tanning has been to use sun-beds or booths; it has become the way to ensure a tan twelve months of the year. We should all now be aware of the dangers of too much sun (skin cancer) and a number of alternatives are showing success in the market to counteract these health issues. The latest method proving very popular (owing to its speed) is spray tanning as it only requires a single application. Other oils and creams that can produce a fake tan have been available for a long time but the effect they provide is not always consistent.

Just to provide an even more convenient service, manufacturers have introduced spray tanning equipment that can be used in the home. Whichever method you decide upon there are some simple but basic steps needed to ensure the best effect. First off, you should exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin. Fake tan applications that have been done without this vital step are easy to spot as the recipient has light patches in the tan where the dead skin has fallen of.

To complete this part of the preparation, the skin needs to be moist and ready to accept the tan so a good skin moisturizer will need to be applied all over. A common problem especially in the early days of self tanning creams, although it doesn't happen quite as much now, was to forget to wear gloves when applying the tan which meant that the palms turned orange and let everyone know the tan was a fake. Also, apply lighter coats on the joints of your fingers, your knees, and your elbows as these areas will appear darker if you do not and the same applies to your feet. If you are using a spray tanning method then you will need an old towel to wipe any excess fluid away to stop streaking.

Always stay as still as possible after artificial tanning to allow time for the application to settle down and create an even coating. Don't forget to wear some old clothes as fake tan is notorious for staining almost anything it touches. The best advice here is to have a change of clothing that is darker than the color of the tan as this way it will not notice. If you remember these few rules you should find that alternative systems can be very effective and look just like the real thing.
