Self Tanner Allergy

Self Tanner Allergy

strange allergies.. what do i do?

at the end of school last year, i developed this skin allergy. whenever i even slighty scratch my self, it gets pretty red and swells up right around the line of the scratch. it's so strange..

i went to the doctor and she prescribed me this special lotion.... it did not work at all.

i don't know what to do. i guess the deal is just i have super sensitive skin? it's not even light, i'm a little tan (if that changes anything...) it's still weird how this just started recently, though.

what is this, and how do treat it??

Hi, it sounds like you may have something called dermographism. It is a form of hives (urticaria). Here's a website with some info and pictures. http://dermnetnz.org/reactions/dermographism.html

Antihistamines like benadryl, claritin or aerius can stop this from happening.

Hopefully this helps!

Helpful Tips You Need to Know Before You Do Self-tanning

Summer is almost out, but a tanned and bronzed look is still in. If you do not have time to head to the beach and bathe in the sun, you can just rely on self-tanning sprays to help you get that rich bronze skin color. Otherwise, you will badly stand out in a crowd if you are still pale and white all this time.

Before you rush to the department store to buy a do-it-yourself tanning kit, it would be best that you first read the tips below. Self-tanning can be tricky and you do not want to end up having streaks and blotches, especially on your face. Here are the things you ought to know before you have a self-tan.

It Is Always Best To Go To The Pros

If you have the money and time, it is always best to get tanning services from professionals. They have the skills and expertise to make sure that you do not have splotches and streaks on your skin. If you are tanning before a special occasion, do not scrimp.

In case you decide to do the bronzing in a salon, make sure you ask around first. Get recommendations from friends and family so that you will know where you can get the best value for your money.

Know The Right Type Of Tanner To Use

Since it is quite expensive to have a body tanning in a salon, it may be wise for you to just do it yourself. But before you spray your face and body with color, be sure to know what type of tanner is the best for your skin type, complexion and even part of the body.

Make sure that you buy a special tanner for the face because it contains milder ingredients to protect your face from allergy and rashes. For your body, you may want an airbrush tanner (especially if you have someone to help you spray your back) or cream tans. For slightly metallic look, a bronzing gel may be good for you. Whatever type and color of tanner you decide on, just make sure that you do not choose something that will make you look too dark.

If you do not have someone to spray color on your back and shoulders, it would be best to choose tinted tanning formula because this will help you know which areas of your skin you have missed. Also, it would be advisable for you to buy a long-handled sponge to help you apply the cream on your shoulder and back and other hard-to-reach areas.

Prep Your Skin

It is important that you prep your skin before applying a self tanner. First, use a gentle scrub or exfoliating wash to get rid of dirt and grime on your skin. Second, make sure that you apply an eye gel or cream. This will help make the area under your eyes lighter than the rest of your face. Lastly, be sure to mix a few drops of moisturizer on your self-tanning cream to prevent your face from becoming dry.

Exfoliation is important before you use tanning creams on your body. Make sure that you pay more attention to your hands, feet, knuckles, knees and elbows since they usually look darker that the rest of your body. It would also be better if you moisturize these areas before spraying or putting on tanning formula so that they would appear a bit lighter than the rest of your body.

If you are suffering from cellulite, it is but wise to do something to smoothen the lumps and bumps on the area before you do self-tanning. By making sure that your problem area is managed weeks before having a self-tan will give you a more flawless and perfect finish. One anti-cellulite cream that can help you reduce the appearance of dimples on your skin is Celrase. For more information, log on to http://www.celrase.com/.
