Certain Stuff To Know About Sunless Tan Sprays

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning continues to become more popular, especially among people having a light colored skin. A beautiful and bronze color can now be obtained not only with sun exposure, but also with the help of cosmetic products. As the direct exposure to sun can damage the skin and increase the chances of skin cancer, more people are now opting for sunless tan sprays. The offer for these types of products is various, and the tan sprays are just one example.

Sunless tan sprays are offering an immediate effect. For example these are ideal to get a beautiful natural skin, when deciding to wear a backless dress at a special event. At the same time, tan sprays are perfect to maintain the vacation bronze for the entire year. Being very easy to use, the tan sprays can be applied by anyone at home, every time needed.

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 chemical composition of a tan spray is based on sugar, which is working with the skin's natural chemistry. The effect is a natural and beautiful tan, without risking harmful effects of the sun rays. Celebrities are the biggest users of sunless tanning sprays. Some have reported to have their own tanning spraying machine, and trained assistants to help them use it.

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.

DHA does not have a toxic effect, at this interacts only with the skin's dead cells. As these cells are being removed from the skin's surface regularly, the effect of the spray will not last more than five or seven days. German researchers are those that have discovered DHA in late 1920, and the use of this ingredient in the cosmetic industry started more than 30 years ago.

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.
