The Tanning Towel

You’re envious of the skin color of your Mexican neighbor. Unlike her who has a natural brown skin color, you’re as pale as the guy from the movie Powder. You’re as pale as powder because you’re so afraid to go bask yourself in the sun because of the bad things you’ve heard about UV rays.

Lucky for you there are now other ways to get you that tanned color you always dreamed of without basking in the sun. One way is the sunless tanning method and the other is the tanning towel. The sunless tanning method is basically a lotion or spray that uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to help get your skin become browner. The other method the tanning towel is what we’ll be discussing here in this article.

Tanning towels are not some magic towels that you can use to instantly make you brown or bronzed like a 3rd place medal. Tanning towels are the alternative to sunless tanning lotions. They are called towels because they can be carried in handbags and suitcases that do not create such a big mess.

With tanning towels all you have to do is wrap yourself with it like a burrito. It is unlike lotions that you have to spread all over your body and has to be evenly spread out. Using the tanning towel also prevents you from waiting long hours or minutes for the tan to appear. The clothes you use will not also be stained. You will not like a bronzed mime by using a tanning towel compared to using a lotion that you may mess up.

Depending on a person’s size, a normal person would use at least 3 towels, as the size of 1 towel is can only cover one third of the body. If you’re really petite, you can use the towels the week later when the tan fades out.

You will need to start with the folded towel and begin at your feet. Unfold the towel little by little until you have covered yourself up like a mummy. By doing so, you will be ensured that the towels stays moist because if the towel is no longer moist you will have wasted one towel. It dries up as fast as twenty minutes and the color develops in just a couple of hours. If there are spots that have not been tanned, say for example your butt cracks, just have it retouched with brown crayons.

After using them just simply wash your hands and throw the towels away. The effect of the tan towel is the same as the sunless tanning lotion; they both only last for a week. There are also wipes or towelettes that are available. However, if you think about it, wiping your body with a tanning wipe will seem to take you a log time. Unless you only plan on tanning your forehead, this might be a good idea.

Therefore if you are the kind of person who is afraid of sunlight, tanning towel is right for you. When you buy the stuff it can last for a year as long as the seal is not tampered. By using this tan towel you can flaunt your tanned skin to your Mexican neighbor and no longer be jealous.
