Interesting Facts About Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful, bronze skin is always an asset. Unfortunately, the easiest way of achieving it is the most dangerous one. Exposing your skin to direct sunlight in the middle of a day can cause serious burns, for example, but also skin cancer, especially if the skin is pale and sensitive. This skin type requires special attention and maximal sunblock, but it is still risky to expose it to the sun. Other sunless tanning methods are more appropriate.

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.

If you prefer applying self-tanners by yourself, you can choose among numerous appealing nuances, from golden beige to tropical bronze. There are different gels, lotions, creams, foams and all kinds of other similar products that offer really nice results. Instant tanners provide lovely deep color that will be soon washed away, or remain on your skin for several days. Other product may take some time to fully develop, usually one to three hours.

Self tanners are mostly based on DHA. This natural substance reacts with outer skin layer, and the product of this reaction is altered skin color. It means that these products don't contain paint, and they get absorbed only to outer skin layer. Once set, the color lasts for several days, but it gradually fades, as your skin renewing itself and all these dead skin cells get removed.

Skin preparation for this procedure include gentle skin exfoliation. There are several very good skin exfoliating gels and foams that can be used for this, but you can simply use your washing cloth. Dry and rough skin areas require special attention, because they tend to absorb more lotion, and can become darker. Re-apply your chosen product when it's necessary. Color maintaining lotions can help saving color intensity.
