Why Should You Choose Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Much has been said about sunbathing. The Sun is the source of life, and exposure to sunlight affects mood, health and overall quality of life. On the other hand, overexposure to the sun's rays can be very dangerous. You should avoid sunbathing at the time when the harmful rays are strongest. People with very pale and sensitive skin should use one of the methods of sunless tanning.

One of these widely popular bronze achieving methods is solarium. If you want to achieve deeper nuances, you have to be patient, and to take at least several shorter sessions. Other way you could get sunburns, or damage your skin. In any case, the skin needs to be protected, as well as your eyes. You have to be aware that you cannot get tropical nuance in one session only.

The biggest problem is the price. Solarium is quite expensive, especially if you are interested in maintaining deep bronze nuance all year long. The procedure can cause skin damages as well as skin aging, just as natural sunbathing. Pale people with sensitive or damaged skin should consider other methods of achieving desired tan.

Until some time ago, different self-tanners were quite famous thanks to unnatural orange tones they have sometimes produced. Fortunately, new lotions and creams give very nice, natural looking results. The best thing about these products is that you can pick the color you think is best for you, and have beautifully tanned skin the very same day. You can do it yourself, or visit some specialized salon.

Self-Tanning Salons offer the service of applying paint using an air brush. It is a very effective method, provided that it is practiced by well-trained person. The color is uniform, because it is applied in the form of tiny droplets that are absorbed into the skin without any leaks, streaks or drips. Do not forget to bring your old swimsuit to your chosen salon.

Various gels, lotions and self-tanning creams are very simple to apply. These products are available in a number of catchy shades, from gold to bronze intense. Instant gels provide quick results that may or may not be permanent, depending on the product. Different overnight creams are applied in the evening, and the final color intensity is visible the next morning.

Self tanners are mostly based on DHA. This natural substance reacts with outer skin layer, and the product of this reaction is altered skin color. It means that these products don't contain paint, and they get absorbed only to outer skin layer. Once set, the color lasts for several days, but it gradually fades, as your skin renewing itself and all these dead skin cells get removed.

To achieve the best results, make sure to prepare the skin before applying your chosen product. Exfoliate all areas to remove all dead skin cells, especially where your skin is thickest, for example on your heels and elbows. Use a washcloth and your usual exfoliating product. Your skin should be perfectly dry. Using special color maintaining products may help you stay bronze longer.
