Bikini tan lines are a strict no-no for many of us, though we love to get sun tanned. So, what would you do in a situation when you have to get a tan but you don’t care for the bikini tan lines? Tanning nude maybe an option, but it’s not for everybody, and it’s not legal everywhere. If you find yourself in love with tanning, but not the unsightly bikini tan lines, they can be camouflaged and blended with the rest of your tan with the help of a few tricks.
Disguising bikini tan lines may be easier than you think. You can get rid of your bikini tan lines by various means. One of the most common ways is to go to the nearest tanning salon and jump in a tanning bed (of course, only after getting advice on how much time you can safely spend in there to get rid of your bikini tan line without damaging your skin). You can also use a bronzer, but remember that this is only a temporary solution for those pesky bikini tan lines.
A great way to get rid of bikini tan lines is to use a sunless tanner. Before you apply the sunless tanner to your body, you should exfoliate your skin. This is done to allow the sunless tanner to absorb evenly on your skin without streaking. Do not use oil based exfoliaters as the residue left by them will prevent the self tanner from being absorbed into your skin. Now, you would simply apply the sunless tanner to the unwanted bikini tan lines in an attempt to even out the color on your body. This can be tricky until you get the hang of it, and you will want to wear gloves to apply self tanner so that you do not stain the palms of your hands. Try to avoid areas that are already tanned, as you are trying to bring the lighter and darker skin tones closer together, not darken up your existing ‘sun tan’. You should continue this process for a few days depending upon the darkness of the tan you already have. Apply moisturizer daily to maintain your tan but make sure to apply the moisturizer in the morning and the self tanner at night. This way your skin will have a full 6-8 hours to absorb and react to the sunless tanner.
Last, but not least, you can always find a local spray tanning technician (http://snipurl.com/3d2) to spray over the bikini tan lines. Watch them magically disappear.
