Exposing a beautiful and natural tan is a very popular trend among celebrities and not only. People with a very light skin are also looking to obtain a darker skin color, using various ways. The traditional way get a tanned skin is exposing to sun. But a prolonged exposure can do more harm to the skin, and can increase the probability of a skin cancer. An alternative to sun exposure are the sunless tan sprays, available in various formats. Tan sprays are just one example of sunless tanning products.

The main advantage of sunless tan sprays is the instant result. Tan sprays can be the easiest way to maintain a healthy glow through the entire year. Whether you are looking to build the perfect tan or to create a beautiful glow, tan sprays are the natural choice to get a beautiful bronze color. Tan spray is designed to achieve the perfect tan at home, or to enhance the spray application within professional studios.

There are many other alternatives to tan sprays, as for example sunless tanning lotions, oils, pills, etc. But the main advantage of the tan spray is the uniform coverage, and the application doesn't require rubbing or massaging the skin. It can be also used with success to reach difficult areas, as for example the back. These products are not having an oily structure, are drying very fast, leaving the skin free to breath.

The way tan sprays work is interacting with the natural chemistry of the skin. Sunless tanning products are continuing to become more popular, due to damaging effects that the sun can have on the skin, and the increased cancer risk. There are many celebrities using tan sprays, many of them own their own tan spray machine, and are using the help of assistants to get tanned.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, lotions or tan sprays containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) are the most efficient sunless tanning products. This derivate of glycerin interacts directly with the dead cells of the skin. The process activates the production of melanin, leading to the change of skin color into a darker one.

As DHA is interacting with the dead cells from the skin's surface, there is no risk of toxicity. The effect of sunless tan sprays usually lasts not more than few days; this because the dead cells are removed from our skin regularly. Therefore a lasting effect can be guaranteed only by a regular use. DHA was discovered for the first time in 1920 in Germany, and for more than 30 years in used in the cosmetic industry.

Tan sprays and many other cosmetic products having DHA as main ingredient, should be used only externally. Lips and any other area that is covered with a mucous membrane should be avoided when using the tan sprays. The surface around eyes is another sensitive area, and here products should not contain color additive, unless the circumstances are allowing its use.

Sunless tanning products are the perfect solution to obtain a natural and smooth tan. But people using these products should know that these sprays are offering no protection against UVA rays. Therefore when exposing to sun, tan sprays have to be replaced with specific sunscreen products.
