The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It is great to have beautiful bronzed skin during summer, but this lovely summer glow looks attractive all year round. You don't have to spend who knows how many exhausting hours sunbathing, there are much easier ways for achieving this amazing bronze shade. Besides, sunbathing speeds up the aging process and can be dangerous. It's much easier to use some good self tanning lotion.

Some people prefer tanning beds. The problem is that these beds emit at least three times more dangerous UV rays than summer sun. Lotions designed to use in tan beds often don't contain UV protection, and you have to be very careful when using them. In fact, they are usually designed only to enhance the production of melanin, and to speed up your bronzing.

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 made from sugar and it is really harmless, what makes it good for all skin types. It affects only the top skin layer, made mostly of dead skin cells. Human skin sheds occasionally, and these dead skin cells will gradually fall off. That's why your color will disappear in maybe ten days. Simply apply another layer of your selected tanner when you think it is needed.

Of course, if you want to achieve really good results, you need to prepare your skin for the application. The first step is to cleanse and exfoliate, and after that, to use your favorite moisturizer. Your skin needs to be clean and smooth, and the color will be perfectly even. This process will make your color long lasting and better looking. Choosing good quality products only is another thing that is very important.

There are so many different sunless tanning lotions that choosing the best of them really isn't easy. Still, there are some things you can depend on when making your choice. For example, good quality products should contain natural ingredients. Natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil or aloe are very good for all skin types, and your product should also contain natural anti oxidants and SPF.

Sunbathing results with darker skin, thanks to increased level of melanin. This dark color is a natural protection against dangerous UV rays, with SPF three or even four, depending on your skin type. If you use self tanners without SPF, your tan will be bronze, but won't provide any UV protection. Considering different health risks associated with sun exposure, you should use products with SPF when outside.

You cannot expect spectacular results if you use low quality products. Invest in good ones, and you will be more than satisfied. Of course, if you can afford it, you can go to some respectable airbrush tanning salon. Airbrush gun is great for applying different self tanners, and this way you can be sure your tan will be absolutely perfect.
