Isn’t it funny to think that some sunless tanning lotions have a stinky smell? Although, tanning lotions are mainly made to have a sun tan skin without direct exposure to sunlight, the smell should still be on everyone’s concern. Try to imagine, you are walking on your way to the office wearing your favorite tanning lotion – with a STINKING smell. What do you think people may tell you? Will they shut up? Or will they frankly tell that you really smell horrible?

Getting a streak-free tanning lotion is perfect, but getting a streak-free tanning lotion with reeking smell is totally busted. The funky smell is mainly due to the chemical reaction that is happening between your dead skin cells and the Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is the main ingredient for most safe tanning lotions.

This reaction can cause an orange effect on your skin, but there’s no need to worry as it goes away the next time you take a bath. But this does not apply to all brands of sunless tanning lotions as some of them have strong smell and really creates streaks and orange effect on your skin, no matter what skin type you have. That’s why, it is very important to look for the best sunless tanning lotion offered in the market.

The best tanning lotion should first have a cooling effect upon application and have quick-dry formulation. Aside from that, you should look for a product that is non-greasy and has no staining elements. Tanning lotions with staining elements can cause tawny skin and not tan skin. And of course, you should look for a product that totally has no funky or stinky smell. You can determine the best tanning product by smell. The best tanning lotions that are available in the market usually have mild and unisex fragrance, which means, you don’t need to take another shower to just get rid of the smell.

Stinky smell is just one of the many issues you may encounter if you purchase the wrong brand. In addition, getting this type of brand usually causes streaks and orange effect and not just producing reeking smell. So better be careful and always check the content section. There you will find if how much strong its odor by simply looking to Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) content. Probably, the greater the content of this chemical, the greater is the tendency of getting a funky smell after the application process. Or simply try a sample in your skin as some stinky tanning lotions can’t be determined by directly smelling to its bottle.

Here are the additional tips to get the best out of your lotion for sunless tanning. Always remember that everything should start in you.

First, washed your hands with soap and water, and exfoliate your skin by scrubbing all its dry parts like knees, elbows and shoulders.

Then, you have to wear gloves to avoid getting orange palms. Rub the lotion directly to your skin and make sure to make it even. Apply medium to dark color all throughout your body including your knees and elbows and except your underarms, wrist and hands. Then, apply a lighter shade around your wrists and hands.

Wait for 15 minutes or until it dries up. And always make sure that you have evenly lathered the tan lotion all through out your skin, and don’t even dare to forget your face.

Right after the easy application process, wash your hands with soap and running water. And make sure that you have dried the solution up before wearing your clothes. And always use the best tanning lotion. With best lotions for tanning, you will not just get a sexy and healthy looking skin, but with a pleasant smell as well.

Sunless tanning lotions are the perfect way to get your skin naturally tanned without getting yourself expose to direct sunlight. They are totally cost-efficient. With this, you are not just avoiding skin cancer but you are not prone to spending too much for your medication due to any skin complications.

It is important to buy a good tanning lotion if you are going to have an indoor session for tanning just as much as it is important to use one when tanning under the sun’s rays. However one common problem is not using enough lotion because the lotion for tanners can be pricey. A regular tanner may realize in the long run that the lotion is one of the expensive elements of tanning. However it is still a very important aspect for taking care of the skin. There are many people who are avid tanners and maintain it all year round. A good way to save on money is buying lotions for a wholesale price.

Tanning lotions can be bought wholesale via the internet. Buying through the internet will lessen the overall cost of tanning. Buying at a wholesale price is a wise move for a regular tanner.

There is also another option of buying the lotions in bulk. The saving is not just money but also on the effort and time of going to a shop. You don’t have to buy them as many times as before. The tanner will have a stock of the tanning lotions in his house. The stock could be composed of lotions that are for indoors and lotions that you use under the sun. There are also lotions that extend the life of the color. There are some things you have to consider before buying the lotions online in wholesale. These are the following:

1. Get to know every detail about the product first. Be sure that the tanning lotion you will buy is the one you usually use. Be sure that it’s the original thing and that it’s not a copy or knock-offs. Saving money should not mean compromising the quality of the product.

2. Check again if the company online requires customers some other requirements before buying. There are online shops that need the buyer to become a member first. You should check this before pushing the checkout option. There are other shops that also need their customers to be an official member of a tanning club.

3. Try to canvass for the costs first which includes the costs of shipment before deciding from which online store to buy. Choose for the store that can possibly exclude the shipping charge if not charge you less since it is a wholesale purchase. Take note of all the details even the taxes to avoid losing more money than you think you have saved.

4. Check other brand or other items that are also on that online store. You can also try other items by buying just one to go with the wholesale purchase of the usual product you order. This way you can try another lotion or another product without having to buy the minimum order.

5. Consider joining clubs organized for tanning. There are also online stores that have clubs for their shoppers where they inform the clients from time to time about upcoming sales or discounts through e-mail.

Purchasing tanning lotions in a wholesale term could be the best way to lessen the total amount you usually spend on the product for one year.
