But is this objective is not available? And if you can get a spectacular tan at home when the street drifts and blizzards? Can. And the time you will need much less than in the summer when you are striving for pleasant weeks swarthiness substituting body sunlight.

Types of tanning at home

Tanning. This is perhaps the simplest means for obtaining a dark color. But before applying self-tanning on the body, listen to some advice on its use. Otherwise, you run the risk of uneven tone of the skin, and, instead of being proud to exhibit a fresh tan, the body will be forced to hide from others.

1. Before applying bronzer make sure you are not allergic to the agent. Apply the cream (or spray) in the crook of the elbow and wait for reaction. If in the morning the skin is covered with a rash, and looks quite a healthy, feel free to use this tool.
2. Do not rush to open the tube. Before you make the right skin color, to do body scrub. This will ensure a smooth and stable color. So take a body scrub, and the march to get rid of dead skin cells! Just do not immediately thereafter applied tanning. Give your body a rest for 6-8 hours, and only then carry out the operation "tanning at home."
3. Thus, the test for the absence of allergic reactions is passed as "excellent", the peeling is made. It's time to become a charming mulatto. Take out your tube of tanning and begin to gently apply it to the skin. Start with the forehead. Do not spend a sponge on one and the same place. Try to apply an even layer of cream, and be careful with the eyebrows.

   That's where self-tanning effect is unpredictable and can give a much darker shade claimed. Once the spray has been dispersed completely in the skin, it is desirable to provide a means of slightly absorbed. Do not dress for a while. Do not touch the face (and other body parts) hand. Stay still. Then thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water (otherwise bright hands of "a la Negro" are guaranteed) and put on long-sleeved clothing (it protects the skin from contact with other areas covered tanning).

4. Remember that each means a lifetime. Some sprays Sun begin to give the skin a nice dark shade of only 4 hours. Therefore, if you just do not see the desired effect, do not rush to repeat the procedure.

Solarium: Lights with pleasure. If you are afraid to experiment with tanning, you can try to achieve the desired skin tone in the solarium. We recommend to use tanning booths for vertical type, as they are more modern, and stay in them more hygienic, because in the course of the procedure is not in contact with the cabin body (as opposed to vertical tanning salons, where a person has to go completely in the capsule).

With regard to time exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays, it depends on your skin type, so before you buy a subscription to the solarium, consult with an employee of the cabin, how many minutes you will need to give the skin the necessary shade. If you urgently need to get a tan, but get out of the house to the solarium does not work, do not despair. There are many ways to achieve the desired swarthiness traditional methods.

• The first method - a tan by using potassium permanganate. Dilute the disinfectant in the bathroom with hot water and lying in a pink liquid as long as the skin is smuglet. Just do not like after a bath towel. It's not even that you have to spoil it. Simply it is likely that you are wiping, greased newly acquired tan. But what is really a pity, because it is the bathtub. After a strong solution of potassium permanganate darken not only you, but also enamel plumbing. So please be detergents advance.
• The second method is to become seductive "chocolate" - is iodine. Add it in a bottle with a spray of water and gently apply a mixture of water and iodine in the body. Unhappy shade? Repeat the procedure or try another way to achieve swarthiness.
• The third option would have the usual bathing. Only this time, steam will not permanganic mixture, as in a conventional black tea. Brew-leaf tea leaves in a large kettle. Pour the resulting chifir in a hot bath, add the sea salt - and can "tan".

Of course, it is best to seek a swarthy skin tone in the cold winter days are not at home or in the solarium, and in the resort. The warm sea and gentle sun overseas better cope with giving your skin the necessary sun. Another nice bonus this pastime - it's a good mood. How else can you feel if, instead of running early in the morning to work, bent under gusts of icy wind, you soak up the warm sand, soft drinking mojitos?
