Transcript:Best Self Tanners
Hi, this is Tricia Mann with About.com and this is Best Self Tanners.
Finding the best self tanner is about 3 key things. One, using a self tanner that does not streak you skin. Two, a self-tanner that does not leave you orangey. Three, one that works right for your skin type.
Some Self-Tanners are Specific to Use on the Face
The first self-tanner is a self tanner for the face and this one actually comes in a wipe. You can use the wipe on your face. It has some salicylic acid in it. What that is going to do is exfoliate the skin, making your tan last longer. Since DHA dyes just the surface of your skin, what happens is as your skin exfoliates, your tan starts to fade. So, this is going to be a great self tanner for the face.
Spray Self-Tanners Prevent Streaks
The next self-tanner is a spray. This self-tanner has a tint. What I love about tints is you can see where the product is going, so you know if you have missed a spot. You will not have any streakiness or unevenness. The other thing that is great about this is that it is a professional self tanner that would be used in professional airbrushing service at a tanning salon.
Cream Self-Tanners Blend Into the Skin
The last self-tanner we have is a cream. What’s great about a cream is that it is going to blend right into the skin, moisturizing the skin to prevent streaking. What is also great about this product is that it smells amazing, so you are not going to have that funny after tan smell that you usually get with most self-tanners. This is best self-tanners.
