The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful summer glow is always popular, thanks to the fact that everyone looks so much better this way. The cheapest way for getting this lovely bronze color is to spend several hours sunbathing. Of course, this way you can be tanned only during summer months, and sunbathing can be quite dangerous. Choosing good quality self tanning lotion might be much better solution.

Tanning beds are really popular. Most lotions used in such salons are designed to accelerate the bronzing process, and they usually don't contain any UV protection factors. They can be based on carrot oil or DHA, which are natural colorants, or have different chemical components that enhance melanin production. In any case, you have to be aware of the fact that beds emit more UV rays than sun.

Sunless tanners come in forms of sprays, gels, lotions and creams. Today, most of them are based on DHA. DHA has very interesting characteristic. When it is applied on the skin, it reacts with skin cells, and dye them into different bronze nuances. It usually affects only the top skin layer, containing mostly dead skin cells. The higher percentage of DHA in your products will create darker nuances.

DHA is perfectly harmless, and creates attractive bronze colors that look natural, just as you have spent long hours baking under hot summer sun. The color lasts at least for a week. Considering the fact your skin sheds once in every three to four days, your color will gradually fade away. To keep your desired color shade you have to reapply the product when you see the change in your skin color.

For achieving the best possible results and perfectly smooth and even tan, you need to follow only a few simple rules. First, you have to prepare your skin for the application. Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize, and you will be satisfied with your results every single time. Besides, this preparation will make your color more even and longer lasting. Of course, you need to choose good quality products.

Making the right choice is not so easy. There are numerous different products out there, and it is hard to choose the best one. The first thing you should do is to read the list of ingredients. Search for natural ingredients, good quality natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil and natural anti-oxidants. It is always advisable to choose products that contain higher SPF.

Dark skin provides natural protection from UV rays. The tan achieved using sunless tanners has nothing to do with melanin, and cannot provide any protection. You need to use good quality SPF lotions when outside. In fact, it is recommended to use protective lotions whenever you leave your home, because UV rays can be very dangerous and speed up the aging process.

When choosing your favorite sunless tanning lotion, make sure to read the list of ingredients very carefully. Choose good quality products only, and you won't be disappointed with achieved results. If you want to achieve really impeccable results, maybe you should consider visiting professional airbrush tanning salon. This technique really provides the best possible results.
