Facts And Tips For Self Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Everyone looks better when tanned. The body looks slimmer, eyes are shinier, and every skin type looks more beautiful. Summer is always too short, but most people still prefer natural sunbathing, however dangerous it can be. It's hard to keep your bronze when summer is gone, but various self tanning products can help you achieve desired bronze shades.

Being exposed to sun rays in the morning can be beneficial for your health. Noon sun rays are something else. They might cause sunburns, skin cancer, spots and other unwanted side effects. Premature skin aging is often caused with overexposure to dangerous sun rays. People with sensitive skin should always use sunblock creams outside.

Tanning beds used to be very popular. Their results are quite similar to natural sunbathing bronze. Unfortunately, the risks are also quite alike. Medical experts claim that this method of tanning is equally dangerous for human health. Besides, people with extremely pale and sensitive skin simply cannot achieve deeper bronze nuances this way.

The best thing about different self-tanners is that you can have desired bronze tan whenever you want. Really wide variety of great quality products is available. Creams, gels, foams, lotions and prays are so easy to use and so effective. All are really affordable, gentle to all skin types and contain skin moisturizers to protect even the most sensitive skin.

Instant tanning creams, gels, sprays and foams are especially popular. They give instant results, and the color can be washable or permanent. They feel incredibly light on your skin and have pleasant smell. Easy to apply and available in numerous shades and nuances, instant tanning products are really easy to use. If you need to get tanned fast, you just have to choose your favorite nuance.

Overnight products need one to three hours to achieve final shade. The skin gradually becomes darker, until your desired shade is reached. Most people apply this type of products in the evening. Next morning, the color is perfectly set and attractive. It won't leave any stains on your clothes or linens. Spray applicators are very practical. Different sets are really affordable, and they contain exfoliate gels and moisturizers as well.

Today, most quality tanners contain DHA. This sugar based component reacts with dead skin cells on skin surface, and this reaction causes skin coloration. More DHA in your product means deeper bronze nuances. This reaction takes place on skin surface only, and the color will eventually fade away, in up to two weeks, depending on the product.

Before applying the product, you need to exfoliate. Pay special attention to rough skin areas such as heels and elbows. You need to exfoliate before each re-application as well, to remove all dead skin cells and to make your skin smooth. Use moisturizers every day. If you would like to have even more natural looking tan, use a special bronzer on some areas, according to instruction you will find on the package.
