Details About Sunless Tanning And Explanation

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless Tanning refers to the process of getting a tan sans the sun. This process is much safer as compared to conventional tanning process which has been linked to skin cancer. Certain chemicals are used for this process and these can be applied by an individual at home. The color change initiated by these chemicals can last anywhere between a couple of days and two weeks.

The body tends to absorb these products in a short period of time. However, it is quite possible that skin at a certain body parts absorbs them at different rates. It may absorb it at faster at feet than that at other parts of the body. To avoid any untoward incident, the instructions regarding their usage need to be understood completely. The useful information about the same is presented here.

The major component in most of the gels, sprays and lotions used for tanning is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Plants are the major sources of this compound which can result in certain reactions that cause darkening of skin. Depending on the skin type of the individual using them, the darkening effect can stay for around six to eight days.

It has been possible to extend the duration of the tan with addition of a chemical called erythrulose. This makes the tanning products more potent, increasing their effectiveness and duration of tan. Due to their increased duration of tan, products based on their combination are more preferred over others.

It is advised by most experts that one should test these products on a small patch of skin to begin with. In case these are allergic to the skin, one may come to know about the same much before serious damage takes place. Consulting an expert physician before starting their usage is always a good option. If the product is found to be non allergic, it can be readily applied on skin. A spray is much easier to use and can be used with little external help.

Smart facilities are available at high tech spas for getting tanned. The kits available with them are highly efficient in applying a uniform tan all over the body. These spas comply with FDA guidelines as well. If required, one may check out with them about the procedure by which the guidelines are met.

To get a tan instantaneously, one may consider temporary bronzers. The dark tan obtained with these is pretty impressive. However, it must be prevented from getting in contact with water or else, it may get ruined.

Wearing dark clothes can be considered if a temporary bronzer has been applied. Care must be taken while applying this tan, to avoid a tan with splotches. Some moisturizers tend to contain tan agents. These can be used to imbibe a darker shade into the skin.

These are ideal for temporary sunless tanning at short notice or for certain occasions. Water is known to cause fading and the tan gets lighter every time water is applied to it.
