Self Tanning Kits For A Healthier Tan

By Haywood Raptis


The products sold to provide a sunless tan today are much better than when introduced almost 50 years ago. For consumers, this means it is possible to have a great looking tan without subjecting the skin to the damaging ultraviolet light that comes from the sun or lamps used in many salons. The greatest difficult many people have is choosing the appropriate Self Tanning Kits to meet their particular needs.

In general, Self Tanning Kits are formulated in three types, light, medium or dark. It is important to select the product that most closely matches the individual's skin type. Those who burn easily and have very light skin tones should choose a light product. However, those who tan easily will want to choose a dark product. In addition, as demand for these products continues to grow, some companies are providing shades between these three. It can take a couple of test runs to find the most appropriate shade to provide a natural and beautiful tan.

While they are more expensive than lotions or gels, airbrush Self Tanning Kits have become very popular. The Self Tanning Kits includes an airgun used to spray to color onto the skin. If consumers find the process too intimidating to apply, it is also possible to find salons that specialize in applying the products. However learning to take care of the process for oneself can save money. Most people feel airbrushing the best way to develop a natural looking tan.

Most of these Self Tanning Kits do not provide protection from the damage caused by the sun. Even though a person has a beautiful tan, he or she will still need a good sunscreen for protection from the UV rays. A bad sunburn can cause the skin to peal and ruin the effect of the spray tan. When the skin peels, the product will be lost.

The active ingredient in Self Tanning Kits in is DHA (dihydroxyacetone). This product causes the pigment in the skin to darken to a natural looking tan. It should be applied evenly for the most natural look.

The different methods of applying Self Tanning Kits all have advantages as well as disadvantages and consumers may develop a preference for a particular type of product. While lotions and creams are the oldest, there are also moist towelettes and sprays available. Many like the sprays as they make it easier to coat the back or other difficult to reach areas.

No matter what one chooses, it helps to have a partner apply the product to ensure an even coating for a better result. Be sure to read and follow the directions for the product before it is used. There may be warnings about waiting times before a shower or hopping into a swimming pool.

When shopping for the right Self Tanning Kits, consumers often need to try more than one product. These products can transform your body to a beautiful golden tan without damaging the skin or increasing the risk of skin cancer. Self Tanning Kits can have you ready for the beach in a short time.
