The Application Of Self Tanning Products Is A Safe Alternative To Sunbathing

The Application Of Self Tanning Products Is A Safe Alternative To Sunbathing

By Haywood Hunter


Health authorities are discouraging the public from sunbathing. It's because being exposed to excessive amounts of UV light can trigger skin cancer development. It's a good thing that suntan aficionados really don't have to give up their dream of having a sun-kissed complexion. That's because there are self tanning products these days that are safe alternatives to sunbathing.



Today's tanning products are formulated to promote skin darkening indoors. Because tanning products don't require you to stay under the sun just to get the result you want, your odds of ending up with skin cancer is considerably reduced. This is a deadly health issue, most especially if during the disease early stages it is not treated.

You can choose from the many indoor tanning products out there. They range from lotions, sprays to wipes. In deciding which one is best for you, it's important to consider your lifestyle and personal preference. Something that you find trouble-free to use can give you the smoothest outcome, letting you sport a fake suntan that looks like it was obtained through sunbathing.



When it comes to the fake suntan's intensity, not all tanning products are created equally. While there are those which are formulated to mildly darken the skin, others are specifically made to produce really dazzling results. Try to look for a shade that isn't that far away from your base complexion for a natural looking effect.

It's the amount of active ingredient present in the solution that dictates the color's intensity. Majority of the tanning products on the market rely on DHA, a chemical extracted from plants. DHA is capable of causing skin darkening minus the need for UV light exposure. In as short as 3 hours, the initial effect may become evident. The shade darkens within the next 24-72 hours. A fake suntan usually lasts for a week.

Not all tanning products out there are the same. While they may not be the same as those which showed up in the 60s, it doesn't mean that all of today's self tanners are impressive. Always go for a top-notch product. Otherwise, you are likely to end up with an orange skin instead of golden brown, causing you to gather odd stares rather than flattering remarks.

You may have friends or co-workers who are into the use of tanning products. Find out which brands they trust ever since they turned their backs on sunbathing. While talking to them, inspect their skin tone. If you're amazed that the color you are seeing is a product of an indoor tanner, get the brand name and put it on the top of your list.

You may also read several tanning products reviews posted on the internet, majority of which done by people who are actually into indoor suntans. Doing so spares you from the need to purchase different brands just to find out which one of them works best. Make sure that you look for honest reviews that talk about both the pros and cons of a particular self tanner. Tanning products reviews that focus only on the strong points are written just to help amp up the sales.
