How To Use A Sun Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Products that are tanning the skin without sun exposure have been created to reduce the negative effects that can be caused by UVA and UVB rays. Therefore a sun self tanning lotion can be used with success to obtain a beautiful tanned skin, in short time. As these products are available no matter the period of the year, why not to use them to have a beautiful tanned color all the time.

Today there are many products available on the market. The first sun self tanning lotion from this category was launched in 1960 by the company Coppertone, under the name of QT. But since that moment the products from this category have increased as availability and quality. Therefore nowadays the manufacturers are producing pills, bronzers and self tanners. Most of these products are producing effects immediately or in maximum two, three hours.

It was demonstrated by the American Academy of Dermatology that the sun self tanning lotion with highest efficiency are those containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This substance from the sun self tanning lotion is in fact a colorless sugar that interacts with the skin's dead cells, changing their color. But as million of cells are being removed from the skin surface every day, this requires for the sun self tanning lotion to be applied often, for a continuous result.

There is a large availability of products containing DHA. No matter if gel, cream or spray, products with DHA are created to have the same effect. An accelerator of the sun self tanning lotion process is the tyrosine, and this can be found in some products created especially with this purpose. Accelerators usually contain tyrosine, which stimulates and increase the melanin formation.

A sun self tanning lotion is the bronzer that is acting not only coloring the skin, but moisturizing it at the same time. An important detail to know about this product is that it can be removed easily, with a simple washing. The bronzer is more a make-up product, therefore will resist only until it will be washed off.

It is recommended to exfoliate the skin before applying the self tanning cream, in order to assure that the product is spread evenly. Moisturizing the skin before can also help to have a uniform tan all over the body. A steamy bathroom should be avoided when applying the lotion, as the product can melt, leaving streaks on the skin.

The application of a sun self tanning lotion should be made slowly and with attention, in order to obtain a beautiful and uniform color. For example the foam can take less time to dry, if compared with a lotion. In both cases the application should be made with slow moves. Mixing half sun self tanning lotion and half moisturizer, a more natural effect over the body can be obtained.

Those interesting in using a sun self tanning lotion should know that this will not offer protection from sun. These lotions can be used when exposing to sun only if sunscreen was added in the composition. Even so, the protection is not the maximum, so the utilization of a special sunscreen product might be the best thing to do.

Reliable Sun Tanner Products To Get You A Healthy Glow Without The Potential Health Risks

By Haywood Hunter


Many people are willing to go to great lengths to give the appearance of having a dark suntanned body. They may think they look more attractive and healthier if they have a darker complexion. Some, especially young girls, might be influenced by the celebrities they see in magazines and on television. Many of these celebrities seem to have flawlessly tanned skin year round and look like they spend all of their time on the beach. Today there are a number of sun tanner products that can make you look tan without sunning at all.

Anyone who has spent any time at a water park, on a lake or pond, or on the sand by the ocean has seen people who will bake themselves in the sun with little or no protection for their skin. Even knowing the proven risks they continue to expose themselves to the effects of bright sunlight. They will insist that sunbathing is the only way to get a natural looking tan.

Many come to regret the decisions they made. People risk skin cancer, which can be debilitating and even fatal. Persistent exposure to harsh sunlight without sunscreen will eventually result in skin that sags, is wrinkled and dry. Instead of looking young and healthy, people actually add years to their appearance.

Over the years some people have turned to alternatives to sunbathing. Tanning beds and booths have been one option people have used. There was a thought that tanning gradually in these beds was less risky than sunbathing. Most now believe this to be a false and dangerous assumption.

There are dietary supplements on the market called tanning pills. Since the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate supplements, the information about their safety and effectiveness is sketchy. They are often found online and in health food stores.

Tanning lotions that create an alternative to sunbathing have been available for many years. In years past they were not a perfect solution for anyone trying to achieve a natural tanned look. Many people complained that using these products created an unnatural skin color. It was difficult to get an even skin tone and the results could be streaky and unnatural. Some lotions actually had an odd odor that many people objected to.

These lotions have improved greatly over the last few years and have become much more popular. Spray tanning has also become very popular. Spray tan salons are enjoying a booming business as people realize they can get a naturally tanned look. They can stay safely out of the sunlight or use plenty of sunscreen and enjoy spending time in the sun. Not everyone wants to go to a salon though. Spray tan products are readily available in most stores for people who would rather do their sunless tanning at home.

Most people want to look as young and as vibrant as they can for as long as they can. A lot of them believe that tanning helps them accomplish those goals. Today's sun tanner products can be used easily and effectively and give skin a healthy glow without the risks of sunbathing.
