We look at fake tan for men to find out the best fake tan for men and is there any difference in fake tan for men or for women.

Men can use fake tan for women the only real difference being that womens products tend to be more perfumed, but there are some products that are just for men and only contain a little scent that smells more like an aftershave.

All self tans have an ingredient called DHA this is short for dihydroxyacetone, this is what reacts with the amino acids in your skin and changes the colour, and that is why you shouldn’t apply tan straight after a bath or shower because your bodys ph will be different for about an hour, the more even your skin is then the more even the tan will be so exfoliate gently and get rid of the dead skin to make your skin smooth and even.

Some fake tanning products use fruit acids, these remove the dead skin cells on your skin, used in self tanning lotions they can also make your tan work quicker, fruit acids in self-tan products can have a drying effect and can break up the look of your tan as it fades leaving a freckled appearance, so check the label and ingredients to see if the one you are thinking of using has fruit acids listed.

Clean shaven men should make sure to have a close shave an hour before applying the fake tan and remember to moisturise and try to avoid a shaving rash.
