Your Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful bronze tan makes you younger, slimmer and more attractive. If you think it's enough looking great only during summer months, it's your choice, but today it is possible to look your best in any season. Sunbathing used to be the only way for achieving beautiful bronze tan, but there are many other ways for this. You can simply apply some good self tanning lotion, for example.

Tanning beds are really popular. Most lotions used in such salons are designed to accelerate the bronzing process, and they usually don't contain any UV protection factors. They can be based on carrot oil or DHA, which are natural colorants, or have different chemical components that enhance melanin production. In any case, you have to be aware of the fact that beds emit more UV rays than sun.

The easiest thing you can do is to apply different sunless tanners. They can be lotions, gels, creams or foams, but all good ones are mostly based on DHA. This component based on natural sugar reacts with outer skin layer and produces bronze color. This whole process takes up to six hours, because this chemical reaction develops color gradually. Your final color intensity depends on the percentage of DHA contained in your tanner.

DHA is perfectly harmless, and creates attractive bronze colors that look natural, just as you have spent long hours baking under hot summer sun. The color lasts at least for a week. Considering the fact your skin sheds once in every three to four days, your color will gradually fade away. To keep your desired color shade you have to reapply the product when you see the change in your skin color.

For achieving the best possible results and perfectly smooth and even tan, you need to follow only a few simple rules. First, you have to prepare your skin for the application. Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize, and you will be satisfied with your results every single time. Besides, this preparation will make your color more even and longer lasting. Of course, you need to choose good quality products.

Making the right choice is not so easy. There are numerous different products out there, and it is hard to choose the best one. The first thing you should do is to read the list of ingredients. Search for natural ingredients, good quality natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil and natural anti-oxidants. It is always advisable to choose products that contain higher SPF.

Sunbathing results with darker skin, thanks to increased level of melanin. This dark color is a natural protection against dangerous UV rays, with SPF three or even four, depending on your skin type. If you use self tanners without SPF, your tan will be bronze, but won't provide any UV protection. Considering different health risks associated with sun exposure, you should use products with SPF when outside.

When choosing your favorite sunless tanning lotion, make sure to read the list of ingredients very carefully. Choose good quality products only, and you won't be disappointed with achieved results. If you want to achieve really impeccable results, maybe you should consider visiting professional airbrush tanning salon. This technique really provides the best possible results.
