It can be very exciting to purchase a bottle of tanner at the supermarket or online and try indoor tanning for the first time. Before you do so, it's a good idea to know more about the product you are intending to get. One very popular option you have out there is the Sun tan lotion. Read on to learn a few important things about this product before you buy it.

The tanner can make your skin darker even without exposure to the sun because of a plant-based chemical called DHA. You can be sure that it's not going to leave your skin irritated because it is just basically a form of sugar. When this ingredient comes into contact with dead skin cells, a color that is highly similar to an actual suntan is produced in about 3 hours.

Despite of this, you will notice an instant change in complexion the moment you rub on the lotion. This is made possible by the added tinting ingredient. The golden-brown stain created also helps you attain a smoother and more realistic outcome as it can serve as your application guide. With instant result, you can immediately enjoy a boost in beauty and confidence.

The deep brown color created by the bronzer is easily removed with water. This means that you should refrain from taking a shower or doing physical activities that make you sweat. Sweating may cause light-colored clothing to be stained. It is recommendable for you to stick to dark clothes right after getting a tan indoors to avoid this kind of problem.

It's important for the UV-free tanning solution to stay on your skin for 6 to 8 hours after the initial application. This gives the DHA in the product plenty of time to be absorbed by the skin's topmost layer. During this time, you may notice a fishy odor coming from your skin. This is something normal and is observed by everyone using a sunless tanner containing DHA.

The most intense color that DHA can give you shows up after 24 to 72 hours had passed. The intensity will greatly depend on the variant of tanner you applied. Dark, medium dark and ultra dark shades are the ones currently being offered by Sun Laboratories. The manufacturer says that you should opt for a shade close to your normal skin tone for a realistic result.

Within a week, you may enjoy having a sun-kissed glow. The color has to disappear gradually and this is something inevitable because your skin is constantly being replaced with a new layer. Fortunately, it's possible to delay this normal process of exfoliation. You just have to regularly apply your favorite moisturizer or the tan extender from the same manufacturer.

Before you apply your sunless tanner, the skin should be readied for the product. It's important for you to hit the shower and exfoliate while in there to remove dirt, grime and excessive dead skin cells. You should also shave unwanted hair to prevent a mottled effect. Make sure that you carefully follow the directions for use to enjoy a lovely fake tan.
