In terms of moisturizing, I don’t have to argue too much because every lotion does its job well. My clients say it covers pretty well and leaves skin looking even and beautiful after it melts. I believe this product should be known and experienced by more people.

Ed Hardy Coconut

[amazon box=”B009YKK78C” ]

The time for a fair-skinned person to become medium tone will be about after 2 times you apply the cream. The scent is said to be quite pleasant and easy to smell, no one complains about the scent. Moreover, customers are impressed with its color retention.

The alcohol Denat in the product may not be suitable for those who hate alcohol, but it will help the product absorb quickly and not be greasy. 

The product is said to have a fruity scent, but you’ll need to test it or read reviews to make sure the scent won’t bother you. Watery products will penetrate more shallowly into the skin than oil products, so their fading will also be faster, but in return, it will be absorbed quickly, completely comfortable on the skin. This self-tanner will last longer than bronzer, bronzer will last 2-3 days and self-tanner product will keep about a week.

Millennium Tanning Paint It Black

[amazon box=”B004FEKA3E” ]

If you like to tanning out a bold color, you can immediately see the difference, then you should choose this product. This product has a pretty neutral scent, so men might like it. Since other products on the market are more feminine-scented, it’s rare for men to find a suitable scent. 

The product does not have too many reviews, but everyone is quite praising luxurious ease of use, the scent, and most are not satisfied with the skin color obtained. You can consider this point. This product is lightweight and can be put in a car backpack if you need to carry them everywhere.

Common Questions When Choosing Best Tanning Lotion For Fair Skin And Buying Guide

One thing we’ve noticed is that you often choose a tanning lotion based solely on what it’s used for, not knowing what skin type it works best on. Moreover, have you not wondered how to understand your skin and choose the safest tanning products for your skin? Also, I believe you probably don’t know tans properly and there are still many questions to ask. We can only list common questions here, but if you need any more answers, comment below and we’ll be happy to help.

How many types of tanning lotions are there?

When you’re starting, you might think that tanning lotions come in only one type, and are meant to be applied before sun exposure. But actually, there will be 3 most common types on the market

• Pre-Tanning Lotion

You’ll apply this a few hours before you head to the tanning bed. The task of this type is to help your skin remove dead cells, the skin will absorb the sun better and the complexion will look smoother and healthier.

• Indoor Tanning Lotion

This type, you do not need to use it a few hours before sunbathing, but you can use it directly before tanning the skin. It will help your skin to be tanning more evenly, healthy brown color will cover every millimeter of skin without patching.

• After Tanning Lotion

Do you know the cases after exposure to the sun, the skin is burning and red, peeling? After tanning lotion will assist in keeping the skin from burning and providing extra moisture to the skin. It can be understood as a moisturizing lotion that helps the skin not to be damaged by the sun.

Can I use sunscreen when tanning my skin?

The answer is no. You know, the principle of skin tanning is to let UV rays shine directly on your skin and color your skin. If you use sunscreen, the UV rays can’t reach your skin, so the evening effect is very poor and little. If you are afraid that your skin will be damaged too much, that is why you should use a tanning lotion to moisturize and protect your skin.

How to speed up the process of tanning fair skin?

Before tanning, you need to keep the skin moist and exfoliate. Dry, rough skin will not make this process go smoothly. Exfoliate and keep your skin well-moisturized so that it can better absorb the new skin color and keep it longer.

During the process on the tanning bed, don’t stay there too long, don’t burn yourself. You should set the time, you should only lie on the tanning bed for a certain amount of time, if you try to lie down more, the skin can be damaged and slow down the tanning process. Many people overslept on a tanning bed and it made their skin seem burned. That was not fun at all.

After tanning, make up for the time of tanning by using methods of tightening, moisturizing the skin, gentle massage, use creams containing carrot oil or oils suitable for your skin so that the skin is always moisturized and protected.

Finally, before increasing the tanning time, you need to wait for the skin to have a base tan. While the skin is not tanned, can use bronzer or skin spray to look more healthy.

Does fair skin mean sensitive skin?

Many people think that white skin will be extremely sensitive and easily burned in the sun. This is not wrong, but simply sunburn occurs more on fair skin, rather than sensitive skin that is fair skin.

Any skin color can be sensitive, if you are afraid of this, you should understand your skin better to see what it is, if it is sensitive, you will observe that it often turns pink and thinks like burning when going out in the sun. If you find your skin often has skin problems, prepare yourself a good moisturizer to avoid skin loss of moisture and damage when lying on a tanning bed.

Have you determined your tanning goal yet?

You may not know it, but tanning can give your skin many different levels of skin color and depend on your goals. Do you need immediate tanning or do you have time for this? Do you want your skin to be as brown as possible or in moderation? Do you dye your skin to add vitamin D or for more cosmetic purposes?

Can be divided into 3 types of tanning that can satisfy you. Those are Intensifiers, Bronzers, and Tingles. This we have consulted in several forums.

• Intensifiers: This substance is suitable for extremely fair skin. It won’t work by way of numbing or bronzing your skin. It contains high moisturizing substances and keeps your skin in a certain state of plumpness, which makes the skin tanning process faster, the skin tone is more even and the skin will not be sunburned.

It is especially suitable for fair skin, who want to dye their skin slowly, build a strong tan base, increase vitamin D in the skin and always keep the skin in a wonderful condition.

• Bronzers: This is an instant treatment, it’s like a lotion bottle with natural colorants and you can apply until you achieve your desired skin tone. It is recommended to shower 8 hours or more after tanning with bronzers, as it can affect the tanning process of your skin.

• Tingles: This is a fairly strong method and not for those with sensitive skin. When you apply tingles, your skin will feel hot, itchy because it works to increase the skin’s microcirculation and oxygenation, which in turn can cause the skin to tan more deeply and give the skin an instant blush. Those who have skin on the body that is more difficult to dissolve than other parts can also apply to that part. But be careful with sensitive skin like I said above.

If you need more information, please click on each product to read customer reviews carefully before buying, their reviews are very helpful. If you want to watch the video, I will leave you a video for reference here:

Heading 2 Conclusion

For first-timers, you need to prepare a lot of things, but investing in the best tanning lotion for fair skin will make the process shorter and simpler. Please read the other buying guide carefully, because I know that many people do not have the knowledge to hurt their skin, especially for Asian girls for the first time, you may not have much experience when exposed to the sun and need careful preparation.

I believe this will be an extremely detailed and complete review for your reference. I have read many websites about the category of tanning lotions and I distill the information from there. I want to give the most gentle and effective things to my wonderful girls.
