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.



What's great about sunless tanning is this can be done on your own, by simply buying products that can help you achieve the perfect time. You don't have to wait for summer to get a tan, you can have one anytime of the year! Many of these products are found as lotions, creams and gels.

Sunless tanning products have dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a chemical that has been approved by the FDA as early as the 1970s. This is a substance that reacts only with the top skin layer. To create a darker skin shade. Thus, it is not absorbed in the body because it does not go through 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.

If you plan on using a sunless tanning lotion, make sure you do not have an allergic reaction to it. Do this by applying a little amount on a small area of the skin. Let it stay on your skin for about 24 hours before putting it all over.

There are lots of sunless tanning products everywhere, but you need to use only the safest ones. Choose sunless tanning products that have UV protection. There are some that do not have this, so make sure to read the labels. UV protection is very important in keeping your skin healthy and safe from the harmful sun rays.

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.

One other way to achieve the perfect tan is by going to a salon and going for spray sunless tanning. This method is another safe way of sunless tanning and may be done inside a bed or a booth. Fair-skinned people who usually burn easily could benefit from this method the best.

After application, do not take a shower right away. It will take a few hours to let the color set. One other thing to remember about sunless tanning is to choose your products well. Do not go for cheap ones that may be unsafe for use. Instead, go only for the safest and highest quality products to get that perfect tan.
