Important Things About Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful, bronze skin is always an asset. Unfortunately, the easiest way of achieving it is the most dangerous one. Exposing your skin to direct sunlight in the middle of a day can cause serious burns, for example, but also skin cancer, especially if the skin is pale and sensitive. This skin type requires special attention and maximal sunblock, but it is still risky to expose it to the sun. Other sunless tanning methods are more appropriate.

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.

People usually need several sessions to achieve deeper bronze nuances. You can be beautifully tanned whenever you want to, but it will cost you. Results can be great, or terribly unnatural, depending on your skin type and the quality of particular equipment used. As with natural sunbathing, pale skin might be too sensitive to be treated this way.

The easy way for making your skin look gorgeously tanned is to use different self tanners. Fake tan creams, lotions and gels are available in really attractive shades, even in very deep, chocolate ones. You can get them applied professionally, or use them yourself in your own bathroom. It will take some time to become a real professional in this job, but it will save you a great deal of money.

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.

If you prefer applying self-tanners by yourself, you can choose among numerous appealing nuances, from golden beige to tropical bronze. There are different gels, lotions, creams, foams and all kinds of other similar products that offer really nice results. Instant tanners provide lovely deep color that will be soon washed away, or remain on your skin for several days. Other product may take some time to fully develop, usually one to three hours.

Fake tanners aren't based on paint, but on one natural ingredient called DHA. This component has a special characteristic that it reacts with most outer skin layer. As a result, the skin gets bronze shade, and the intensity mostly depends on DHA percentage in this particular product. All dead skin cells get colored this way. In time, the skin will renew itself, and the color will fade. If you want to avoid it, just re-apply the product every once in a while.

Skin preparation for this procedure include gentle skin exfoliation. There are several very good skin exfoliating gels and foams that can be used for this, but you can simply use your washing cloth. Dry and rough skin areas require special attention, because they tend to absorb more lotion, and can become darker. Re-apply your chosen product when it's necessary. Color maintaining lotions can help saving color intensity.
