How to Choose the Right Tan Product for Your Skin Type?
Choosing the right tan product is an essential step towards achieving a beautifully bronzed glow. It’s not just about the depth of colour; the right product can nourish your skin, provide a smooth application, and offer longevity.
But with a plethora of options available in the market, how can you select the perfect one for your skin type? Here are some factors to consider:
Truly knowing your skin type is the very first step in choosing the right tan product. Here are the common skin types and suitable tan products:
1. Normal Skin: If you have balanced skin, neither too dry nor too oily, you could use just about any type of tanning product, from lotions to mousses.
2. Dry Skin: For those with dry skin, opt for moisturising tanning lotions or creams, which can help hydrate your skin while providing a tan. Look for specific products with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera.
3. Oily Skin: Mousse or gel-based tanning products are ideal for oily skin, as they’re lightweight and less likely to clog pores.
4. Sensitive Skin: If you have really sensitive skin, seek hypoallergenic products with minimal fragrance and fewer chemicals. Always perform a patch test before full application.
Consider the Depth of Tan
Tan products come with varying degrees of DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient that darkens the skin. Lighter skin tones may want to start with lower DHA levels for a natural-looking tan, while darker skin tones may require a higher concentration to see a noticeable difference.
For instance, the He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion offers a medium shade with 7% DHA, suitable for people seeking a moderate tan.
The application method can greatly influence your tanning results. Tanning lotions and creams can be applied by hand, but for an even application, consider using an applicator mitt. The mitt works well with lotions, mousses, and gels.
For instance, the He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion or the He-Shi H2O Glow Clear Tanning Mousse could be easily applied using a mitt for a streak-free tan. But if you prefer spray tans, consider using a brush for a flawless finish, such as the He-Shi Bronzer Brush.
Consider how long you want the tan to last and how easy it is to remove. Some products are designed to fade gradually over a week or so, while others might require a specific tan remover.
For example, if you’re looking for a long-lasting tan, consider the He-Shi Express Liquid Tan. If you prefer a temporary tan that can be washed off, the He-Shi Wonder Glow Instant Tan can be a suitable choice.
Here are some of Salon Trusted’s top recommended products:
1. He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion: A hydrating tanning lotion that provides a medium tan, suitable for normal to dry skin types.
2. He-Shi Express Liquid Tan: An easy-to-apply liquid tan product offering a medium shade, ideal for all skin types seeking a longer-lasting tan.
3. He-Shi H2O Glow – Clear Tanning Mousse: This mousse offers a medium-dark tan and is great for oily skin types. It’s also infused with hyaluronic acid for added skin hydration.
4. He-Shi Overnight Hyaluronic Skin Firming Gradual Tan Balm: For those looking for a tan that also offers skin-firming benefits, this product is an excellent choice. It’s suitable for nearly all skin types, particularly those seeking anti-aging benefits.
5. He-Shi Wonder Glow Instant Tan with an HD Finish: A quick and temporary tanning solution that offers an instant medium shade tan that can be washed off. Suitable for all skin types, dominantly those looking for a one-day tan solution.
6. He-Shi Bronzer Brush: A must-have tool for a flawless application of liquid or spray tans, ensuring an even and smooth finish.
Remember, the key to a perfect tan lies not only in the product you choose but also in the preparation. Always exfoliate your skin before applying any tanning product to ensure an even application.

Effect of Hand Sanitising Gels on Your Skin
“Will using hand sanitisers ruin my skin?” – that is the question we all asked ourselves at least once since COVID-19 became a serious issue. Today we will try to answer this question. What is the best way to protect yourself against coronavirus while keeping your skin healthy?
Sara Waterman, who is an aesthetician, believes that over time excessively washing hands and using hand sanitisers will deplete the skin’s natural protective barrier. This can then leave hands feeling dry and sore. However, Sara also thinks in times when the excessive risk of infection is present, dry chapped hands are a “better” choice.
The main thing all skin experts agree on is that after washing your hands, whether it be with hand sanitiser or with soap water – it is important to keep skin moisturised. Try switching to a nourishing hand cleansing gel that contains shea butter and is gentler to your skin. NEQI hand cleansing gels will not only kill the bacteria but also protect your hands from becoming overly dry and chapped. It contains 60% alcohol which allows it to kill 99.9% of bacteria. And thanks to the aloe vera and shea butter it take cares of your skin too. It’s also Vegan!
So, hand sanitisers will not ruin your skin if used properly. NHS states that “while excessive use of hand sanitisers could lead to some drying effects, it is unlikely to negatively impact most people using the gels as a temporary antiseptic”. It is important to use antibacterial gels where water and soap are not available – a handbag option is a must!
