Achieve The Perfect Tan Through Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


It is often said that sitting out in the sun to get a tan can cause skin cancer. Yet, many people would still want to have the perfectly tanned body because it makes their skin glow. What, then, could be a good substitute for natural tan from the sun that could expose you to harmful UV rays? How about trying sunless tanning? People doing this are increasing everyday because this is a safer way to get the perfect tan.

Those who choose sunless tanning can achieve the perfect tan even by applying the tanning products themselves. Application can be done on their own or they could go to a salon and pay someone to do it. They don't have to sit out in the sun for hours; they can get a tan anytime of the year! There are many of these tanning products in the market now. Some of them are in the form of creams, gels and lotions.

Sunless tanning products contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a chemical that has been considered safe for use by the FDA for decades now. It is a chemical substance that only affects the upper skin layer and does not get absorbed into the bloodstream.

When you use these products, you can be sure to get that tan on your skin for at least 7 days. The color will not wash off too easily, and if it does, you can always apply the sunless tanning product back on your skin. It will eventually fade as dead skin cells are removed everyday.

Before you apply the sunless tanning lotion on your whole body, make sure that it is the right shade for you. Apply a tiny amount on a hidden area of your body to make sure that you are not allergic to the lotion. Wait at least 24 hours to know if the lotion is right for you.

Although there are many of these sunless tanning products in the market now, not all of them are considered safe for use. Remember also that not all sunless tanning products contain UV protection. Thus, you need to be choosy with the products you will use. This is to make sure that you are not exposing your skin to the dangerous UV rays of the sun.

If you would want to apply the lotion on your own, exfoliate and shave first to get rid of dead skin cells. Use gloves during application and apply with a sponge or a brush for an even tone. Before using the sunless tanning product, read the labels properly and follow the instructions.

Spray tanning is also another popular way of getting a tan. This method is also safe for sunless tanning, and it is usually done using a salon bed or booth. People with fair skin who burn quite easily would find that this is the best method for them.

To keep the tan lasting longer, do not take a shower immediately after the application. Stay away from very inexpensive sunless tanning products that may cause you more harm than good. Instead, use products that carry named brands to be assured of high quality and safety.
