Certain Stuff To Learn About Sunless Tan Sprays

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning continues to become more popular, especially among people having a light colored skin. A beautiful and bronze color can now be obtained not only with sun exposure, but also with the help of cosmetic products. As the direct exposure to sun can damage the skin and increase the chances of skin cancer, more people are now opting for sunless tan sprays. The offer for these types of products is various, and the tan sprays are just one example.

With sunless tan sprays the result can be obtained instantly. This makes the product ideal for those interested to expose a natural tan color during all seasons of the year. Tan spray is a best solution to obtain a natural and uniform bronze color. The big advantage is that these types of tan sprays can be easily used at home to tan the skin or just to maintain the color obtained in a professional saloon.

Using a tan spray instead of a sunless tanning lotion can bring some advantages. The first one is the uniform coverage, with no-rub application. This can be easily used by anyone at home, even for the hard to reach places, as the back or example. A tan spray usually dries in maximum 5 minutes, will not clog pores, oil free and usually available in medium or deep tint.

The way tan sprays work is interacting with the natural chemistry of the skin. Sunless tanning products are continuing to become more popular, due to damaging effects that the sun can have on the skin, and the increased cancer risk. There are many celebrities using tan sprays, many of them own their own tan spray machine, and are using the help of assistants to get tanned.

Researchers from the American Academy of Dermatology are sustaining that the active ingredient responsible for the tanning effect from tan sprays is the dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The substance is a derivate of glycerin that increases the melanin production. Melanin is the substance responsible for the darkening of skin's cells.

DHA does not have a toxic effect, at this interacts only with the skin's dead cells. As these cells are being removed from the skin's surface regularly, the effect of the spray will not last more than five or seven days. German researchers are those that have discovered DHA in late 1920, and the use of this ingredient in the cosmetic industry started more than 30 years ago.

DHA substance is encountered in the composition of many sunless tan sprays, including lotions, oils and sprays. The products containing DHA are restricted only for external use. Therefore these are not recommended for lips area and on other surfaces covered by a mucous membrane. The area around eyes is another region that requires a special care; here the application of products containing color additive is also not recommended.

Sunless tanning products are the perfect solution to obtain a natural and smooth tan. But people using these products should know that these sprays are offering no protection against UVA rays. Therefore when exposing to sun, tan sprays have to be replaced with specific sunscreen products.
