Matters You Need To Know About Indoor Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing is something that oncologists and dermatologists do not recommend. It's due to the fact that getting too much UV radiation coming from the sun can lead to skin cancer as well as photo damage. Many suntan fanatics all over the planet are now into the use of indoor tanning lotions instead. Read on to know more about these healthy and innovative beauty products.



Tanning lotions designed to be applied indoors work without requiring unnecessary exposure to UV radiation. The secret is in the active ingredient that is comprised of sugar molecules. This is called DHA, a plant-based chemical approved by the FDA for use on human skin. DHA-based tanning lotions are capable of reproducing the radiant brown color of a real suntan.

It takes about 3 hours for the initial effect of DHA-based tanning lotions to become visible. Upon application, the chemical reacts with oxygen molecules in the air as well as the layer of amino acids called keratin that sits on your epidermis. This leads to the darkening of the skin. For the next 24-72 hours, DHA will continue to work until the deepest color is generated.

Today's indoor tanning lotions are formulated differently to produce various fake suntan intensities. It all depends on the amount of DHA dissolved into these products. Tanning lotions which are designed to provide users with a really deep golden brown complexion contains more of this chemical than the rest which are marketed to create a milder effect. The right product to go for depends on issues such as your natural skin color and the complexion you like to be seen sporting.

A lot of fake suntan fans prefer to use tanning lotions than UV-free solutions in other forms. It's due to the fact that these products are as simple to use as your everyday hand and body moisturizing lotion. To make the application more trouble-free, most manufacturers also include tinting substances which work as visual guides that help ensure all spots are covered.

The addition of bronzer enable today's sunless tanning lotions to create an instantaneous skin tone change. Users no longer have to wait for hours just to see the beautiful color DHA can bring. The stain left behind by the bronzer is only temporary. It gets removes when you shower or swim, both of which you need to avoid 6-8 hours after the tanner's application.

Do take note that tanning lotions containing DHA tend to make your skin somewhat smell like a fish and this is normal. However, this easily reveals that the secret to your lovely complexion actually came from a plastic bottle. Luckily, many of today's UV-free tanners address this issue effectively. Besides, the funny smell disappears completely the moment you take a shower.

Sunless tanning lotions are capable of giving users a fake suntan that lasts for 3-7 days. The gradual fading is something that cannot be avoided as the skin periodically undergoes exfoliation. Although it's proven that DHA is highly effective and safe, make sure to pick the best product. Each tanner available on the market also contains other ingredients than just DHA.
