About Quality Self Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Considering the fact that natural sun tanning is possible only during those few summer months, it is hard to keep bronze tan all year round. Besides, sun rays can be quite dangerous, especially if you expose your skin to them frequently. Fortunately, there are numerous self tanning products you can use, and achieve natural looking results you have always dreamed of.

Direct sunlight can cause all kinds of skin damages. Sunspots and sunburns are quite often results of overexposure, but the fact is that sunbathing can cause more serious skin issues, even cancer. Besides, it will make every skin type to age faster, and it is something you really want to avoid. It doesn't mean you shouldn't go out at all. Moderate sun exposure when sun rays aren't so strong is highly beneficial for your health.

Tanning beds used to be very popular. Their results are quite similar to natural sunbathing bronze. Unfortunately, the risks are also quite alike. Medical experts claim that this method of tanning is equally dangerous for human health. Besides, people with extremely pale and sensitive skin simply cannot achieve deeper bronze nuances this way.

Self-tanners are perfectly safe to use and provide natural looking tan in no time at all. Good quality gels, creams and lotions are designed for all skin types, and available in different nuances and shades. They contain natural ingredients, including moisturizers, and are really gentle to your skin, even if it is really sensitive. Results are lovely and the price is affordable.

Instant gels and foams provide quick and attractive results. Color can but doesn't have to be permanent, and you can choose light, golden nuances, or dark, attractive chocolate shades. These products are very light, quickly absorbed into skin and gently scented. Instant tanners are also available in a form of a spray, very easy to apply. All instant products can be washable or permanent.

Overnight products need one to three hours to achieve final shade. The skin gradually becomes darker, until your desired shade is reached. Most people apply this type of products in the evening. Next morning, the color is perfectly set and attractive. It won't leave any stains on your clothes or linens. Spray applicators are very practical. Different sets are really affordable, and they contain exfoliate gels and moisturizers as well.

Today, most quality tanners contain DHA. This sugar based component reacts with dead skin cells on skin surface, and this reaction causes skin coloration. More DHA in your product means deeper bronze nuances. This reaction takes place on skin surface only, and the color will eventually fade away, in up to two weeks, depending on the product.

Before applying the product, you need to exfoliate. Pay special attention to rough skin areas such as heels and elbows. You need to exfoliate before each re-application as well, to remove all dead skin cells and to make your skin smooth. Use moisturizers every day. If you would like to have even more natural looking tan, use a special bronzer on some areas, according to instruction you will find on the package.
