However, it is amazing how many people still put their health at risk by ignoring the warnings. Is it because the self tan products do not give them the results they want.

The problem with finding good self tan products is that what works for one person, may not be as effective on someone else. The results should be much the same but there are several factors that can affect the results. Having a look at some of the poorer results helps users to know they dos and do not of using tanning products.

It is amazing just how many people ignore the instructions or give them a cursory glance. They do not bother to check the product ingredients to make sure there is nothing they are allergic to.

Usually, it is recommended that users start with a lighter product than can be gradually built up over a period of days.

A test is also useful for the user to see how easy or difficult the product is to use. If they find it hard to apply smoothly and the results are streaky, they can add some body lotion to the tanning product. Body lotion always helps to dilute the color if the test patch comes out too dark.

Making sure that all dry skin has been removed by exfoliating then washing and drying it helps to prevent streaks. Extra attention needs to be given to the elbows, knees and other joints when exfoliating to ensure an even tan. If streaks do appear, using a piece of lemon or some toner on cotton wool to dab the streaks helps to reduce their appearance by removing some of the color.

Always allow sufficient time for the tan product to dry properly. Dressing too quickly can result in clothing being stained and can cause streaky patches on the tan. If the product contains a bronzer in the ingredients list, it can be rubbed off or washed off very easily. Never have a shower or bath within a few hours of applying a tanning product. Do not apply the product shortly before going to bed or bedclothes could become badly stained.
