The combination of the words “chocolate” and “sun” in any title could never steer you wrong. Our Chocolate Sun tanning lotion here at Beauty Heroes certainly will not, either. This tanning lotion is made entirely of organic ingredients, including wild and organic crafted herbs and botanicals, offering you and your skin only the absolute best a lotion can offer. Its ingredients will leave you and your skin looking bronzed, feeling soft, and being healthy and hydrated.
Chocolate Sun has been created with three key skin tones in mind: light, medium, and dark. The lotion can be used on the body and face and is even sweet orange scented, making your skin refreshed and aromatic after its application.
But, our unique and effective tanning lotion requires the appropriate application routine in order for you to reap the full benefits and get the most out of it. Here are the key steps you should follow when applying Chocolate Sun tanning lotion.
1. Prep for Application
This is one of the most important steps because you don’t want anything else interfering with the application process. Ensure that your skin has been properly cleaned and exfoliated. Be sure to rid it of any other lotions, soaps, or other products. We wouldn’t want these to cramp your tanning experience!
Have two separate cloths ready to go: a damp one and a dry one. These two cloths will come in handy later on.
Shake the tanning lotion bottle well in order to distribute all ingredients evenly. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to both the tops and bottoms of your feet and hands. Don’t forget between your digits along with your wrists and ankles for ultimate prep results.
2. Look Over Application Tips
Now that you are all prepped and almost ready to apply, be sure to first review these key tips for applying the Chocolate Sun tanning lotion to your skin:
- Use circular strokes and overlap these strokes to avoid streaks
- Gently rub the lotion into your skin
- Try to avoid missing any areas of your skin
- Do not apply the lotion internally
Now let’s get to it!
3. Start with the Legs
The best way to apply this tanning lotion is by working from the bottom up. Start at your ankles, then get to your calves, knees, and thighs. Make sure to evenly distribute your lotion on the fronts and backs of your legs.
Once you have finished with your legs, gently rub the lotion into your buttocks, hips, and your lower back. Before moving on, make sure you haven’t missed any spots.
4. Lower and Middle Back
It can be difficult to rub lotion evenly into your back on your own, so we recommend focusing on your lower back and middle back first. You can save the upper back for later.
We suggest using a mirror here. The mirror can help guide you to getting every spot of your lower and middle back.
5. Stomach and Chest
This is a great stopping point to wash your hands, dry, and then continue on. Washing off any excess will help keep your hands from applying too much or too little to any one area.
Be sure to rub in every spot on your stomach, including your belly button and sides. As you make your way up your stomach, you can continue onto your chest. Make sure to get every part of it and apply around the armpits, not directly on. When moving past the chest, ensure to evenly cover your neck, too.
6. Shoulders, Arms, and Upper Back
While we are in this general area, rub the lotion evenly into your shoulders, arms, and upper back. Remember that the use of a mirror will help again here.
7. Feet, Face, and Hands
These three should be saved for last. Rub the lotion into the tops of your feet and blend it into where you started the application at the ankles. You can then move onto the face starting from where you left it on the neck. Apply the lotion to your face as you would foundation. Again, a mirror would be a great assistant here.
Finally, your hands. Place the lotion on the backs of the hands, rubbing into where you left off on the wrists. However, make sure to wipe between the fingers and on the palms.
8. Final Step
You can now wash your hands and use a damp and dry cloth. Use the wet cloth to thoroughly clean your hands, while using the dry cloth to properly wipe outer areas that do not require the lotion, such as armpits and inside arms. This can also help blend the wrists, ankles, and other parts.
