Analyzing The Best Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Tanned skin has stayed as a never ending trend especially within the culture of white people. The darker skin is considered more beautiful than the much whiter skin. Tanning can easily be done by exposing the skin to the sun so that more melanin is produced to get a darker complexion. There are times when there is never any sign of the sun and these people may still prefer the tanned skin. This is why they buy the self-tanners and the following are tips for choosing the best self tanner.

Researchers have searched for some time and they have managed to come up with very effective sunless skin tanning lotions. These lotions are manufactured with the greatest and most luxurious ingredients in the universe that will give the users a natural looking darker complexion. The ingredients also moisturize and protect the skin making it look very beautiful.

The challenge comes in when the users are looking to find the good tanners. There are very many sunless tanners manufactured in the world and all the manufacturers claim that their products are of good value. They are usually manufactured in many forms such as lotions, creams, gels, milks, sprays or even pills. They can easily be acquired from drugstores, salons or online. But how can a user identify which is the best tanner?

Beauty experts have done extensive research in different ways so that they can come up with the best tanners. They have spoken with the industry experts, checked out the sales figures and also monitored the opinions of consumers. Some of these products can even be tested using a selection of criteria. Some of the factors considered are the smell, color, the drying time and the period of time they last.

Self-tanning has been in existence for a very long time. It was invented in 1960 by the Coppertone cosmetic company. The first products led to an orange looking tan. They have been improved over time so that now the ones available now produce a more natural look to the skin and they even work very fast. Some work immediately after application while others take longer like 45 minutes before the difference in skin color is noticed.

This kind of tanning should not be confused to have the power to protect the body against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. This is because it does not trigger the production of melanin as the normal tanning does. This works in a much more different way. The users of these tanners should therefore use sunscreen before exposing their skin to the sun to avoid skin burning.

Sunless tanning done on the outside by applying the products on the skin works because of the chemical reaction between dehydroacetone denoted as DHA that is present in the products and the dead cells on the dermal layer of skin. This reaction causes a color change thus the tan look is achieved. The internal products such as pills however contain some chemical products that work in the inside to change skin color.

Using these products may be dangerous sometimes especially the oral ones. They may cause some health problems like hepatitis and may also affect the retina by formation of yellow deposits in the eye. They also have effects on some of the internal structures such as the liver.
