With spring honest around the corner in many parts of the country, it’s only natural that for many of us, thoughts of sandals, sundresses and sunglasses are starting to occupy our minds. Flipping through the swimwear section of the Victoria’s Secret catalog and taking in page after page of thin, toned and tanned models romping in the surf and sand of faraway, exotic locales, it’s easy–inevitable, even–to begin plot on the promise, no matter how distant it may seem unbiased yet, of weather forecasts that don’t include the words “windchill factor”, “freezing temperatures” or, that four-letter word to beat all four-letter words, “snow”.

For some of us, however, the excitement felt at the prospect of longer, gloriously warmer days can be tempered somewhat by the dread of shorter hemlines and arm-baring tops that show our skin for what it really is: Very, very pale. If you’re like me, you cringe slightly at the fear of blinding innocent passers-by with the glare of sunlight reflecting off your whiter-than-white flesh, and shudder outright at the understanding of your translucent skin showing every stretch mark, dimple and spider vein that time or genetics have made a part of your body’s landscape. Dread may tempt you to rush to your nearest tanning salon and subject yourself to the dangerous and damaging UV rays of the beds just to take the edge off of your paleness, or, if you’re just as afraid of skin cancer as you are of looking like a Lestat wannabe while everyone around you looks like they just came back from a week in Aruba, you might consider shelling out the big bucks to have a tan applied to your skin via spray booth or airbrush.

But in these financially tiny times, there’s no need to shell out the big bucks destroying the health of your skin with ultraviolet radiation or driving across town to have a sunless tan applied. It is possible–and with a little practice, the apt technique and the right products, easy–to effect a sun-kissed glow so natural-looking that no one will ever suspect your pasty little secret. All you need are the right products, the right tools, and some helpful tips and techniques to guarantee you’ll keep resplendent all summer long.

First and foremost (and perhaps most challenging) is finding the right murky tanner for your particular skin type, skin tone, and sunless tanning goals. The beneficial news is that there are a lot of great products out there, and a snappy search of helpful websites like www.sunless.com or www.makeupalley.com can give you a great deal of insight into products that other sunless tanning devotees count among their must-haves and never-agains. The bad news, however, is that what looked great on one person might not peruse so great on you. So the first rule is:

If at first you turn orange (or yellow or peach or nothing happens at all), try, try again. Personally, I’ve come to adore Au Courant’s sunless tanners, available for select on the Au Courant Web spot, aucourant.com. If I need a tanner immediately and don’t have time to wait for something to arrive in the mail, I’ll go for my second choice, Clarins Self-Tanning Milk SPF 6, available at Clarins counters everywhere or at clarins.com. If I’m feeling pasty and I happen to be a little low on cash, I’ll choose a more affordable option from the Banana Boat line, viewable at bananaboat.com and available for purchase at drugstores and mass-market retailers everywhere. Conversely, no matter how strapped I am, I won’t go anywhere arrive Neutrogena’s dim tanning line, as I have found it turns me a very unattractive shade of yellow. Your mileage may vary, however. One of my sisters swears by Neutrogena’s sunless tanning line, as it turns her a fair shade of bronze. Try a few tanners (preferably on an space concealed by clothing and before bare-skin weather gets into full swing) and see what produces the best color results on you. And should your first few forays into sunless tanning not make the results you want, keep at it. Most major drugstore chains have a good return policy for cosmetic items, so if you hang onto your receipts, you won’t lose anything but a little bit of time if a particular sunless tanning product turns out to be an epic failure for you. Eventually, by trying a variety of brands and formulations, you’ll find the right product for you, and when that magic moment happens, you’ll be glad you persevered. That, however, brings us to rule number two, which is:

Not all skin is created equal, even if it’s all your skin. In other words, what works beautifully on your legs may not work as well on your face, or vice-versa. This is particularly true if your facial skin is oily or breakout-prone, but the skin on other parts of your body is drier. If that describes your skin, you may need more than one product: one for your face and neck, and another for the rest of your body. Again, trial and error is the key here. Also, withhold in mind that for everyone, the skin on some parts of the body is thicker than it is on other parts of the body. What this means in self-tanning terms is that while a product may give you a pretty brown color on your forearms and shoulders, it might make your heels, toes, elbows, knees and knuckles gaze dirty. In my personal experience, I’ve found that using a lighter-colored sunless tanner on those areas, diluting a favorite tanner with regular body lotion, and/or applying regular body lotion to rough areas before proceeding with the sunless tanner and again about ten minutes after applying tanner helps in achieving consistent, even, natural-looking results everywhere, even in those common trouble spots.

Third, there is a black tanning dress code. Wear gloves! Remember those trouble spots I just mentioned? Add to that list the palms of your hands and the areas between your fingers. Especially if you’re not a seasoned sunless-tanner user, you probably will (and should) take your time making sure you’ve applied the product evenly, not missed any spots or failed to rub the product in completely (I recommend an overlapping, circular motion when rubbing the product in). The problem lies in the fact that the extra time you take gives the rougher, more absorbent skin of your palms a more-than-ample opportunity to absorb quite a bit of sunless tanner, and washing it off without splashing water onto the rest of yourself (which will stop the development of color and leave you splotchy) is nigh impossible. Save yourself the exertion and wear latex or nitrile surgical gloves. A box of 50 pairs can usually be had for $5-$10 at drugstores, and wearing them while you apply your sunless tanning product can spare you from that most dreaded of all sunless tanning afflictions, The Dreaded Orange Palm Disease. It’s certainly much easier (and more feasible) to go assist and apply tanner to the backs of your hands with a makeup sponge after you choose the gloves than it is to keep your hands in your pockets until Labor Day.

Fourth, do your homework–or rather, your prepwork. You wouldn’t try to cook a gourmet meal without first preparing your workspace and chopping, dicing, and measuring all your ingredients. The same logic dictates that you shouldn’t try to give yourself a sunless tan without preparing your skin properly. Exfoliation is key here. Fair like the built-up skin on your body’s rougher areas can sometimes absorb too much tanner, so, too can excess dead skin on any other part of your body. And, adding insult to injury, not only can excess listless skin absorb too great tanner initially, it also acts as like roofing shingles for the newer, fresher skin underneath it, preventing your tanner from ever coming in contact with it. The result? When that dead skin sloughs off on its own, your tan will recede unevenly, leaving you patchy. Patchy is worse than pale. Don’t let it happen to you. And while we’re talking about exfoliation, it should be distinguished that you’re going for even exfoliation. Therefore, loofahs aren’t the best choice. I’ve found that mesh spa gloves work well, while others grasp net sponges, sugar scrubs, or other methods. Pick Up what works for you.

Fifth, and finally, make sure you’ve got your own abet. While the ideal is to have a friend or spouse or other person handy who can apply tanner to your benefit, it’s not impossible to tan every inch of your contain hide with the right tool. On the Au Courant website, they sell a device like a long-handled sponge paintbrush specifically for that purpose. You put the tanner on the sponge, and use the sponge to apply the tanner to your befriend. Ta-da! A seamless tan without any gaps. Looking for an even more budget-friendly option? Hit your local hardware store and head for the paint aisle. A standard foam paintbrush, while not as elegant-looking as Au Courant’s back tanning tool, should do the trick just as well.

Other sunless tanning tips and tricks from a seasoned dusky tanning pro:

Shave before you apply your shaded tanner, but not immediately before you apply your sunless tanner. There’s still some debate on this one, but I’ve found that if I shave in the morning and then apply my tanner at night, the pores on my legs have had a chance to close up, preventing the tanner from sinking into them and giving my legs a “freckled” look.

Keep your peep, or rather, your hand, on the ball. To get your tan to look even on your hands, try holding a tennis ball with the hand you’re applying the tanner to, then switch hands and repeat the process. Holding a tennis ball will open up the little creases in your knuckles and prevent you from getting little white lines where there should be color.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Did I mention it’s significant to moisturize? Moisturizing the rough spots on your body before gloomy tanning prevents the skin from absorbing too much tanner and producing a “dirty” look. Moisturizing those same areas about ten minutes after you apply your tanner helps dilute the tanner just slightly and spread it around a little, giving those difficult areas a more even look. Moisturizing every tanned part of your body in the days following your shadowy tanner application will encourage keep your skin healthy and supple, extend the life of your sunless tan, and build the fading process more even and less noticeable.

Don’t sweat it (or dunk it or drench it or otherwise get it wet). I’m not saying that you can’t bathe or shower or swim with a sunless tan. Of course you can. You just can’t do so immediately. The minimum recommended waiting time between applying a sunless tanner and exposing your skin to any kind of liquid is one hour, but I’ve found that sometimes, even that isn’t enough. Your best bet? At the slay of the day, after the dishes, workouts, and children’s baths are done, grab a quick shower, exfoliate, dry your hair and then apply your dim tanner. You’ll be asleep while your color develops, meaning you’ll steer clear of water by default.

When you’ve finally achieved that perfect shadowy glow, don’t screen it up in makeup. When you’re pale, your skin is often so translucent that every limited vein, red patch or dark circle is readily apparent. But once you’ve achieved a good sunless tan, the tanner often hides all those little imperfections. So unless you’ve got something that truly needs covering, enjoy a pared-down makeup routine when you’ve got a sunless tan. Forego foundation, perhaps using just a little tinted moisturizer in its place if you truly need a little something. Skip concealer for all but the most obvious flaws, and if you must use one, originate sure it matches your new skin tone. Focus on perking up your color even further with just a little bronzer and blush (liquid, cream and gel formulas are especially appropriate over a gloomy tan as they’re sheerer and less likely to look ashy against your new, deeper skin tone), and unless you’re blessed with naturally dark lashes and brows, don’t forget to give them some love with a little tinted brow groomer and mascara. A quick slick of lustrous gloss in a neutral or rosy tone will finish off your look and have you and your beautiful recent tan out the door in minutes.

Learning to give yourself a genuine sunless tan is like styling our hair, applying our makeup, painting our nails or anything else we do to improve our appearance and make ourselves feel good about the way we look. It takes a bit of practice, and your first attempt may not be totally successful. But once you’ve got the hang of it, you can conclude a healthy, bronzed glow quickly, easily, inexpensively and, most important of all, safely.

You strip down, put on a shower cap, and rub barrier lotion on your dry spots like your hands, elbows, ankles, feet. NOT on the bottom of your feet though… you think you probably should, and do it anyway. Nose plugs and goggles are recommended.

Next you walk to the tan booth and learn why you should have followed those lotionizing instructions. The floor is dapper slick and you can’t walk. You procede to the booth and manage to make it without a head injury via some short stepped, slow motion, slip sliding ski action. At least no one will see you knocked out naked wearing a shower cap, goggles and nose plugs! Right???

Step inside the booth, close the door and position yourself. To insure full coverage, you must maintain the proper position.

dwelling Stand with your knees shoulder width apart.

*Bend your knees slightly.

*Stick your butt way out… intention out

* Place your hands so that the palms are facing your stomach, and they are a few inches away from your stomach.

*Make jazz hands and then gnarl your fingers up, like you’ve got the arthritis. (This is so that the wrinkles in your knuckles will tan)

*Elbows up and out.

*Hold your breath and end your eyes (because who the hell wears nose plugs and goggles?

READY? Now you regain sprayed by very cold, very loud tanning jets. But don’t gasp!!! You’ll tan your lungs!

While it’s spraying, robotically and ever so slightly turn your body to the left, to the right to produce determined that the side of your torso and legs are sprayed too.

*Try not to pass out, you’re still holding your breath

Now you have 10 seconds to turn around and assume the position again… Since it’s rather difficult, you just maintain it and turn around looking like a constipated monkey.

READY? Good… because now you’re getting sprayed right up the ass, and it’s colder this time. Awesome…

It’s over. Effect sure to dance in the mist and flail your arms around in the air so that no mist molecule goes unused! It takes 4 hours for your tan to appear. Long enough for you to be far, far away when/if you turn orange. Also – it is not recommended that you go to the beach because your tan will wash off with salt water or alcohol. Knowing me, over the next few days I’ll go out, bag drunk, and spill vodka down my chest and my boobs will look like they have that Michael Jackson/ Dairy Cow skin disease. Awful to the Ass. Actually I’m doing that now so that I can get in character while I practice my moonwalk.

Time – Get sure you have allowed yourself enough time – read the entire label and follow the directions exactly. If it says two hours, then believe me- it means two hours. Most products will stain your clothes. Also if you’re rushed you may ruin your tan.

What You Need – Make sure you have everything you need handy. You will need a dwelling to take a shower or bath, a cotton washcloth to exfoliate your skin, soap, skin lotion, self tanner, sink to wash your hands frequently, a band or clip to keep hair off of your face, and a fingernail scrub brush. If you are going to apply self tanner to your back, make sure you have a sponge paintbrush with a long handle or a friend handy who know what they are doing or can follow directions. You may also want a loose outfit, such as a robe, to wear while the self tanner is drying. It’s also sterling to have a watch or clock around.

What Are You Going To Wear? – If you are not applying sunless tanners to your entire body (and you really shouldn’t if this is your first time), what you wear will determine where you want your tan lines to be. Wear tight fitting clothes above that area (swimsuit or tight shorts and tee shirt). Try not to get the tanner on the clothes though because it will stain. I actually have an outfit that I wear only for tanning. This plan if I don’t have to worry about staining something I intend to wear else where.

Preparation – Retract a shower or bath and use a cotton washcloth to exfoliate your skin. Pay special attention to your knees and elbows. Don’t shave your legs if you have sensitive skin because the tanning lotion can cause a reaction. After bathing and exfoliating, allow yourself and the room to dry off. If you are applying the self tanner in the bathroom, you do not want the room to be steamy. Nor should the room be so warm that you’re sweating. Apply ordinary skin lotion to your feet, ankles, knees, elbows, hands, wrists, and any site with fine lines, such as your neck and face. Put on your “tanning” outfit.

Inaugurate Applying – Take a look at the clock and note the time. Open with your legs, doing one entire leg at a time. Originate at the edge of the bathing suit or whatever you are wearing and work your way down. Apply the self tanner a puny more heavily than you would apply ordinary lotion. Apply the product like a flash but thoroughly, spreading in a circular motion to avoid streaking. Don’t effort if a slight bit of the sunless tanner is visible on your skin. Instead, be careful not to miss any areas. Be sure to keep track of the time, after 5 minutes has passed, stop and wash your hands thoroughly- you don’t want orange hands or palms (be sure to use the nail brush, too) before continuing with the rest of your body. Tie your hair back and keep going. Make sure to keep an eye on the clock. After your legs, apply the self tanner to your arms and body. Save your face and neck for last. Apply sparingly to this area, because this part of your skin takes to self tanners quite well. (You may want to exercise a product specifically designed for the face for the best possible outcome.) Apply especially sparingly to your forehead hairline position. If your hair is short, don’t forget to apply it behind your ears. As soon as you have finished with your face and neck, scrub your hands again. Now engage a see at the clock. You have entered the drying zone. Allow plenty of time to dry. Don’t rush it and your tan will look great in no time at all.

Should I go with a tanning bed? Should I go with a tanning lotion? Will I perceive orange and fake if I tan with a tanning lotion? Will I get skin cancer if I tan in a tanning bed?

It is my personal goal to serve you make up your mind by the time you approach the end of this article. Before I start, though, you should know that I’m pro tanning lotion and con tanning bed. This will be explained more as you read on.

Pro’s to tanning beds:

You, of course, get a faster tan than tanning outside. Lay down pail in one of those light filled beds and emerge healthy glowing, right? Not always the case. You will find out more in the con’s section.

The big pro’s to tanning in a tanning bed is the fact you don’t have to lie outside for hours in the sun. You don’t need to get naked and bare and pains about your neighbors seeing you while sunbathing. You can lie down and relax without the sun glaring harshly down on you, and you’ll have a tan within 20 to 30 minutes.

Now remember that everything seemingly good thing has its bad sides.

The Con’s of tanning beds:

Just like tanning outside, tanning beds still have the same side affects and you can get skin cancer. You are exposed to many harmful UV rays while tanning in a tanning bed. Not only will this cause you to get skin cancer, but it will also help premature aging. Ew! No one wants to age before their time.

Pro’s to tanning lotions:

Tanning lotions can offer a healthy glow to anyone of any skin color without the cruel side affects that sunbathing and tanning bed tanning have to offer. There have been no reported cases of skin cancer caused by tanning lotions.

The lotions are easy to apply; just like an everyday moisturizer. Your sun kissed glow will come gradually, which will look diagram more natural rather than lying down in a bed white and coming out looking like you were honest in a toaster (which in a way, you were.)

Con’s to tanning lotions:

Tanning lotions can peep very fake if you don’t get the right kind and do not apply it properly. This can all be avoided though by knowing what to assume and how to apply it.

The best brand of sunless tanning lotion is Jergens. You can take Jergens sunless tanning lotion at impartial about any multi-purpose store or drug store. You may even be able to collect this brand of dark tanning lotion in beauty salons. Depends on where you live.

Another con can be how long it will take to catch the tan you are wanting. Many people who want a tan want it and want it now. Sunless tanning lotions generally engage a couple days to take affect. Any sunless tanning lotion that turns you tan on contact will make you look very orange and fake. Avoid these types of sunless tanning lotions.

When you apply a dusky tanning lotion, rub in as you would body lotion. Avoid extremely dry areas because these tend to advance out darker. Make sure to wash your hands after applying the black tanning lotion or they will tan, too. When applying the sunless tanning lotion, perform clear to get it in between your toes and bottoms of your feet so you are not tan in some areas and white in other.

There are several sites online with printable. In short printable are doll house items, furnishings to accessories and everything in between that you can make on your printer! Simple, but they do look pretty realistic and they are as easy as it gets to make.

Well, there’s a such thing as printable rugs and bedding. No, it’s not what you are thinking. You don’t print them on stiff and unforgiving paper, but rather on fabric. Yes, you saw right, you can stick some light weight fabric right in your printer and print on it. The result is a textured print of a rug or bedding set that drapes, feels and looks almost like the real deal.

For those wondering, no, I have not tried this method personally, as I plan to do my maintain sewing and needlework designs. Though, I have seen some items made by these means on sites, and from the photos they ogle pretty darn nice. See here for a teddy have room box displaying a printable rug and pillow.

Another option for those without a printer or who do not wish to print on fabric is to retract a book of iron on designs. These are pre-made quilting designs made to scale that you just need to iron right on your chosen fabric.

No Sew Quilts

Aside from using printable images for your no sew quilts, you can also use fabric glued to cardboard and woven pieces of bias binding to make your miniature quilts.

Hints, Tips and Ideas

Canvas textured printer paper could work wonderfully as a rug texture. Just choose a printable with a build and texture of your choice, print out and slit out. You can even try to fray the edges like a fringed throw rug for added authenticity. (This method would also work wonderfully to make tapestry wall hangings)

Catalogs can be a treasure trove of rug and bedding ‘printable’ images. Simply gash them out and glue to a piece of thin fabric. Or, if you’d rather, you can scan the catalog images into your computer and print directly to the fabric.

Your local fabric shop is a great state to gather some itsy-bitsy furry fabrics. Choose those with a color and design you like and with a small pile. Cut to size and you have wall to wall carpeting. If you can’t find any with a exiguous enough pile, try cutting down the pile little by limited until you get the desired thickness for your carpet.

Since we know that a self tanner affects the top layer of skin layers, we also know that anything else that we do to that top layer of skin is going to affect our self-tanner and the results. Before applying your first treatment of self-tanner, you should shower in order to remove any loose dead skin cells so that your tan will come out more evenly. Once out of the shower you should remember not to apply any types of lotions or oils. It is actually better in your interest to apply no products aside from the self tanner. Before apply the self tanner you need to make sure that you skin is completely dry. When using self-tanner on your face wait at least 45 minutes before applying any moisturizers or make-up. A lot of people recommend getting colored or instant tanners so that you can see where the tan is going on and how thickly but I recommend a gradual tanner.

You won’t be able to true it instantly if there are any mistakes but it’s healthier for your skin, gives a more subtle appearance to your fake tan and the mistakes will be easier to correct. You should also make sure to wash off your hands and the top of you feet after applying your self tanner. The skin is soften and more absorbent here so not doing this is likely to turn them orange or make them darker than the rest of your tan. It is also distinguished that you let your self tanning product completely dry before it comes into contact with anything. Essentially you should wait about a half an hour regardless of what the product tells you. If you don’t have that amount of time wait 10 minutes and then use a blow drier on low heat over your skin where the tanner is for a few minutes. If your skin comes into contact with things before it is dry you will get streaks and blotching in your tan.

So your tan has started to appear and it’s not narrate perfect. If your palms or the top of your feet are orange or darker then the rest of your tan don’t peril. Since it is the top layer of skin that is affect you can either ex-foliate -scrub off some of the affected skin cells- or prefer moistened clothes that are specifically for removing fake tans. You can pick up them anywhere that fake tanners are found but I’ll warn you that they are usually a bit pricey. If you don’t mind having your palms or top of your feet orange or darker for a while, you can apply a high SPF tanning lotion or sunblock and it will lighten and tan out. The most common problems with self tanners are the streaks and the blotches. Streaks are lines of darker skin and blotches are patches of darker skin.

There are quite a few options for these. If you objective want it to blend more with the rest of your tan, you can rub lemon juice on the affected area paying special attention to the parts that meet the fragment of the tan you like. The acid in the lemon juice will help to lighten the darker area.
