How Do You Make Homemade Self-Tanning Lotion?
You can make your own self-tanning lotion with natural, readily accessible ingredients. Your concoction provides a simple, safe alternative to spending excessive amounts of time in the sun or going to potentially dangerous tanning booths. This homemade lotion lacks chemicals and preservatives often found in commercial self-tanning products. Store unused portions of the self-tanning lotion in a sterilized glass jar with a wide-mouth lid and keep it in a dark, dry place for up to two weeks. Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan or tea kettle. Place the tea bags in a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and replace the lid. Steep for 20 minutes before straining. Powder the cloves in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Add the cloves and henna to the tea and shake gently to form a thin paste. Brush evenly over the skin, allowing the mixture to dry and set for 20 minutes before putting on clothes.
