Applying New Sunless Tanning Lotions And Creams

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless tanning lotions, gels and creams have become sought after products in recent years. Getting a natural suntan requires several hours in the sun, which is very dangerous over time. There are also individuals that do not tan in the sun. These sunless tan lotions are the perfect solution for safe and fast tans without the risk of sun damage.

There are a range of different types of skin tanning products that can be purchased that are beyond lotions. Self-tan sprays are also very popular and easy to apply. Many individuals like to remain tan all year long but do not want to be exposed to the inherent dangers of the sun.

Many of the self-tan lotions contain a chemical named dihydroxyacetone or DHA. This is an FDA-approved product that is applied to the skin. When the dead cells of the skin comes into contact with this compound, the amino acids within the skin cells react causing the skin tone to darken.

This reaction makes the skin appear it has received a sun tan. Older forms of sunless tanning lotions used dyes or staining pigment to product a sun tanned look. The sun tanning pigments often did not produce a natural looking tan. The current sunless tanning lotions provide better results and are easier to use.

There are several benefits to applying self tanning lotions. A major benefit is the reduction of exposing the skin to UV rays in order to get a tan. Constant exposure to UV rays has been associated with skin cancer. Most of these sunless lotions also contain an adequate amount of sunscreen to provide additional protection.

The Sunless tanning lotions are a much safer alternative than constant sun bathing. The products are easy to apply and will not smudge or quickly fade away. The results leave a natural bronzed tan that is very appealing. This is also a less expensive way to receive a sun tan as constant visits to the salon can be very costly.
