A dark body is beautiful.But not everyone has been blessed with olive skin by nature. And if in the summer you can cope with this shortcoming perfectly well on the beach, then in the cold season a tan becomes an unattainable goal. But is this goal really so unattainable? And is it possible to get a spectacular tan at home, when there are snowdrifts and blizzards outside? Yes, it is. And you will need much less time than in the summer, when you spend weeks achieving a pleasant swarthiness, exposing your body to the sun's rays.
Types of tan in the home
Self-tanning.This is probably the easiest way to get a dark skin color. But before you apply self-tanner to your body, listen to a couple of tips on how to use it. Otherwise, you risk getting an uneven skin tone, and instead of proudly showing off your fresh tan, you will be forced to hide your body from others.
Solarium: sunbathing with pleasure.If you are afraid to experiment with self-tanners, you can try to achieve the desired skin tone in a solarium. We recommend using vertical tanning booths, as they are more modern, and it is more hygienic to be in them, since during the procedure your body does not come into contact with the booth (unlike vertical solariums, where a person has to lie completely in the capsule). As for the time of exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays, it depends on your skin type, so before buying a subscription to a solarium, consult with a salon employee how many minutes you will need to give your skin the desired shade. If you urgently need to get a tan, but you can’t leave the house to go to the solarium, do not despair. There are many ways to achieve the desired dark skin using folk methods.
- The first way is to tan with manganese. Dilute the disinfectant in a hot-water bath and lie in a pink liquid until the skin becomes dark. Only do not stand after a bath like this, wipe yourself with a towel. It's not even that you will spoil it. It is quite likely that you, wiping yourself, will smear the newly acquired tan. And that's really a pity, it's the bath itself. After a strong solution of potassium permanganate, darken not only you, but also enamel on the plumbing. Therefore, stock up with detergents in advance.
- The second method to become a seductive "chocolate bar"- This is iodine. Add it to a spray bottle of water and gently apply the water-iodine mixture to your body. Not happy with the shade? Repeat the procedure or try using another method to achieve a darker complexion.
- The third option provides for the already familiartaking a bath. Only this time we will steam not in a manganese mixture, but in regular black tea. Brew large-leaf tea in a large teapot. Pour the resulting chifir into a hot bath, add sea salt - and you can "sunbathe".
Of course, it is best to achieve a dark shade.skin on cold winter days not at home or in a solarium, but at a resort. The warm sea and gentle foreign sun will do a much better job of giving your skin the necessary tan. Another pleasant bonus of such a pastime is a good mood. And how else can you feel if, instead of running to work early in the morning, bending under the gusts of icy wind, you bask on the warm sand, sipping a non-alcoholic mojito? We recommend reading:
