The Best Sunless Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Much has been said about sunbathing. The Sun is the source of life, and exposure to sunlight affects mood, health and overall quality of life. On the other hand, overexposure to the sun's rays can be very dangerous. You should avoid sunbathing at the time when the harmful rays are strongest. People with very pale and sensitive skin should use one of the methods of sunless tanning.

One of these widely popular bronze achieving methods is solarium. If you want to achieve deeper nuances, you have to be patient, and to take at least several shorter sessions. Other way you could get sunburns, or damage your skin. In any case, the skin needs to be protected, as well as your eyes. You have to be aware that you cannot get tropical nuance in one session only.

Solarium services are not cheap. To achieve the desired shade sometimes it takes a few sessions, depending on desired intensity. You cannot expect to be deeply tanned at once. If you overdo it, you can get burns, just as if you were sunbathing. If the skin is very sensitive, or damaged, it's advisable to avoid this way to achieve a tan.

Until some time ago, different self-tanners were quite famous thanks to unnatural orange tones they have sometimes produced. Fortunately, new lotions and creams give very nice, natural looking results. The best thing about these products is that you can pick the color you think is best for you, and have beautifully tanned skin the very same day. You can do it yourself, or visit some specialized salon.

Airbrush is the best method for applying fake tan lotions. Droplets are so small that can be applied extremely precisely, on all skin areas. You just have to go to your nearest self-tanning salon and let professionals do the job. You will find a disposable bikini there, but it is advisable to bring some old swimming suit of your own. Results are really nice and quickly achieved.

Of course, you are perfectly able to do this in your own bathroom. All fake tan products are available in different forms and several catchy nuances you can choose from. Instant gels and foams, overnight lotions, facial creams, you name it. Most products need a few hours to develop, but when you are in hurry, there are some instant solutions for you, too.

Fake tanners aren't based on paint, but on one natural ingredient called DHA. This component has a special characteristic that it reacts with most outer skin layer. As a result, the skin gets bronze shade, and the intensity mostly depends on DHA percentage in this particular product. All dead skin cells get colored this way. In time, the skin will renew itself, and the color will fade. If you want to avoid it, just re-apply the product every once in a while.

To achieve the best results, make sure to prepare the skin before applying your chosen product. Exfoliate all areas to remove all dead skin cells, especially where your skin is thickest, for example on your heels and elbows. Use a washcloth and your usual exfoliating product. Your skin should be perfectly dry. Using special color maintaining products may help you stay bronze longer.
