People have different and varying preferences that they derive from tanning lotions worldwide. This is to say that whatever lotion one person finds good may not necessarily mean it’s good to the next person. For this reason there are a multiple number of brands and types of tanning lotions produced on a regular basis by various manufacturers. These many product brands are meant to meet the different needs and specifications of the users. Some users do not like particular colors or smells yet others will find no problem with these specifications.

Determined to meet the needs of a majority of the people and because of the fact that they value the health and beauty of women globally, the California tan tanning lotions are dedicated to provision of quality products. It was established in the year 1987 and since then, the company has always tried to embrace quality products in the manufacture of lotions. This has earned the California tan tanning lotions a big name for the innovative tanning products. The company has dedicated its efforts in the provision and manufacture of indoors and out door tanning lotions through a network of advanced tanning technologies that puts in mind the importance of skin care.
California tan tanning lotions have the following special attributes:
1. Absorption of ultra violet light. The Californian tanning lotion plays a major role in maintenance of the skin color and also improves its darkness. This is by increasing the rate at which the skin absorbs the ultra violet light. It is important that the skin remains moisturized. The California tanning lotions have always ensure that this happens quickly and efficiently to keep off any skin infections or problems. This is the lotion that protects your skin from harmful sun’s radiations.
2. Available for all types of skin. Since the skin condition of many people is different, the California lotions are manufactured to remedy this challenge. Instead of hating yourself for your skin condition, thanks to the California tan tanning lotions, it will be solved. There are a number of varieties that take care of the dry, oily, normal or a combination of these skin types. Currently, lotions come in dark, medium and heavy tones to cater for all skins. Those meant for dry skins have humectants whose purpose is to moisten, soften the skin. But oily skins are treated with tanning lotions that contain alcohol.
3. Variety of shades. To deal with light intensity, there are various shades that come with the lotions such that some provide a sunny glow to the skin while others prevent harmful effects from the sun.
In the recent past, the government announced during the onset of summer that the ultra violet rays are so dangerous to the skin making the product to be popular. Complications such as skin cancer are some of the prompts that have encouraged the use of tanning lotions. The other option of tanning which is sunbathing proved to be more inconveniencing and most people began using the California tan tanning lotions to control the problem.

10 Common Self-Tanning Mistakes

October 13, 2011Sunless Tanningsafe tanning, sunless, sunless lotion, TanForLesstanforless

Tanning like anything else has turned into a do it yourself routine where everyone believes that they can do it easily without anyone else’s help, and with this method of thinking there are bound to be problems. But here in this article I will tell you of the 10 most common tanning mistakes and how you can beat them, to get a wonderful tan without the hassle.

Tanning mistakes:

• Exfoliation of joints- A big and very common mistake of tanners is not to properly exfoliate there joints. To exfoliate means to open, so some people do not properly open there joints up for the lotion to work or the sun to get to it. This can result in darker areas as well as aching joints, to solve this problem you can either add some moisturizer to the lotion to lessen its impact or shave your legs (shaving legs will eliminate the dead cells on top of your skin allowing the lotion to easily pass through).

• Streaking- These are uneven lines that come with your tan as well as areas that are darker than some, this can look very bad and very off setting. These occurs because the tanner ran off the body, the tanner was not evenly layered on and other reasons. The way to solve this problem is to take a damp towel, some gel, a cotton ball and slowly go over these areas and remove the excess color and tone until you get it how you like it.

• Too much tanner applied- Every beginner will make this mistake where he or she adds way too much tanner that is needed. This is simple to fix all you need to do is get a damp towel or wash cloth and simply tap it on the area that has too much tanner, this will take up it and if you want to re add some you can but do it carefully.

• Dark blotchy areas- No matter how careful you are in adding your lotion most people seem to get a dark blotchy area. To fix this problem is quite unorthodox, you will need to get a lemon (a lime should work too) and rub it on the dark area, and the chemical components of the lemon will mix with those of the lotion or tanner and cause it to get gradually lighter.

• The addition of too little tanner, this is a simple problem that can be fixed by adding more tanner throughout the process but try to keep it equal.

• Dirty heels- This can be because by the tanner running down to the heels and making they look a brown color to fix this you can use a normal file and rub it off.

• A too thick tan oil or lotion- Sometimes people get a lotion that is too thick to their liking, to fix this just mix it with some moisturizer and it will be less thick and look better.

• Bad tan lines- People who tan often realize the disaster of a bad tan line, to help fix a bad tan line would be to use a damp or moist towel and wipe over the parts of the tan lines that you don’t want and this will get rid of them.
