Achieve the perfect sunless tan (NC)-To ensure the best-ever, most natu ral-looking sunless tan, Dr. Tom Meyer, Coppertone Solar Research Center, provides some helpful hints: Whether you are an experienced sunless product user or a first-timer, experiment with a small area like the inside of your forearm. This will give you an idea of the way the product spreads, the drying time and the colour before committing to a whole body application, including the face. Prepare the skin. Shave legs and exfoli ate skin before applying a sunless tanning product (a wash cloth will work well). This will remove dry skin cells and creates a smooth surface that will absorb the sunless tanner evenly and produce a uniform longlasting colour. Dispense a small amount of the product into the palm of one hand. Rub your palms together and then smooth an even layer onto clean, dry skin. A thin layer is all that is nec essary. Blend evenly, using a combination of horizontal and vertical strokes to easure com plete coverage. Take care to avoid eyebrows and hair. Also avoid contact with eyes. If you use your bare hands to apply sun less tanner, take a cotton swab dipped in alco hol and run it around your cuticles. It will pre vent tanner from adhering to the skin. Professionals use latex gloves to apply sunless tanner because the coverage is more even, and you can avoid "tan hands" syn drome. You can buy these inexpensive aids in most drugstores. For an even smoother application, you may want to use a cosmetic sponge. If you are planning to tan your elbows, knees or heels, use less of the product to pre vent deeper tanning in these areas. Wash hands and nails thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application. Avoid contact with your clothing until the product is dry. If your clothing should come into contact with the product before it is dry, launder within the hour to avoid staining.
