What Consumers Should Know About Tanning Products

What Consumers Should Know About Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


It is not fashionable to have pale looking skin. People will get tans to darken their skin and give it a glow. In the past most people did this by sitting in the sun for many days and hours. This practice stopped once it was shown that increased exposure caused skin cancer. Now tanning products have become more popular as people are looking for alternative methods to get a tan.

The majority of the items work by getting the top layer of your skin to darken. The skin layer that is changed is contained of dead cells. DHA or dihydroxyacetone is usually the active ingredient that gets your skin to tan. Because the dead cells are constantly being removed you will need to keep using it to keep the effect active.

One must note that just like staying in the sun has consequences so does using the material without sunblock. There is not protection included in the item so you need to apply something to cover the skin for long periods of time. This will provide you with an additional barrier between you and the sun.

Pills are often used to help speed the effects of a tan. But because it is created artificially it can make some damaging side effects. You can become blind, get hives, damage the liver or even have skin the color of an orange. It is recommended not to use pills as they are unpredictable inside the body.

There is no need to wonder how long it will take when you apply the material to your skin. You can instantly see the results within a few hours. At the maximum it may take a day to see the end effect. If it is not what you want you can increase or decrease the usage amount.

Tanning products can help you improve your looks without laying out in the sun. You should be sure of the item that you are using and what side effects that can be caused. Make sure that you do not get anything on your lips, mouth eyes or nose when applying to your skin.
