How To Choose The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It is great to have beautiful bronzed skin during summer, but this lovely summer glow looks attractive all year round. You don't have to spend who knows how many exhausting hours sunbathing, there are much easier ways for achieving this amazing bronze shade. Besides, sunbathing speeds up the aging process and can be dangerous. It's much easier to use some good self tanning lotion.

There are numerous tanning salons offering all types of services. Tanning beds are still very popular, although most people don't realize that this equipment emits high levels of UV radiation. Besides, different lotions used in tan beds rarely contain SPF, their primary purpose is to accelerate your bronzing, enhancing the production of melanin. Some can contain other chemicals or colorants as well.

Using sunless tanners is really the easiest solution. Most of these products contain different percentages of DHA. This sugar based chemical component reacts with outer skin layer. The whole process takes for about four to six hours, because the color develops gradually. DHA percentage determines the color intensity. More DHA in your chosen product means darker nuance.

DHA is made from sugar and it is really harmless, what makes it good for all skin types. It affects only the top skin layer, made mostly of dead skin cells. Human skin sheds occasionally, and these dead skin cells will gradually fall off. That's why your color will disappear in maybe ten days. Simply apply another layer of your selected tanner when you think it is needed.

Of course, if you want to achieve really good results, you need to prepare your skin for the application. The first step is to cleanse and exfoliate, and after that, to use your favorite moisturizer. Your skin needs to be clean and smooth, and the color will be perfectly even. This process will make your color long lasting and better looking. Choosing good quality products only is another thing that is very important.

Making the right choice is not so easy. There are numerous different products out there, and it is hard to choose the best one. The first thing you should do is to read the list of ingredients. Search for natural ingredients, good quality natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil and natural anti-oxidants. It is always advisable to choose products that contain higher SPF.

Naturally achieved tan provides certain UV rays protection. Increased melanin level plays the role of SPF three or four. SPF two, for example, means that you can stay on the sun twice as long. If you use self tanners without SPF, your lovely bronze won't protect you from direct sun rays, and you have to use some kind of lotion that contains UV rays filters. Sunburns aren't very pleasant things, and they will affect your skin appearance now and in your future.

Considering all these things, you see how important is to read the list of ingredients. If you want to have beautiful, impeccable summer tan, but also to keep your skin healthy and young, you need to use high quality products based on natural ingredients only. Apply your chosen product yourself, or find some respectable airbrush professional to do it for you. This technique is really the best for this purpose.
