Modern Methods Of Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful, bronze skin is always an asset. Unfortunately, the easiest way of achieving it is the most dangerous one. Exposing your skin to direct sunlight in the middle of a day can cause serious burns, for example, but also skin cancer, especially if the skin is pale and sensitive. This skin type requires special attention and maximal sunblock, but it is still risky to expose it to the sun. Other sunless tanning methods are more appropriate.

One of these widely popular bronze achieving methods is solarium. If you want to achieve deeper nuances, you have to be patient, and to take at least several shorter sessions. Other way you could get sunburns, or damage your skin. In any case, the skin needs to be protected, as well as your eyes. You have to be aware that you cannot get tropical nuance in one session only.

People usually need several sessions to achieve deeper bronze nuances. You can be beautifully tanned whenever you want to, but it will cost you. Results can be great, or terribly unnatural, depending on your skin type and the quality of particular equipment used. As with natural sunbathing, pale skin might be too sensitive to be treated this way.

The easy way for making your skin look gorgeously tanned is to use different self tanners. Fake tan creams, lotions and gels are available in really attractive shades, even in very deep, chocolate ones. You can get them applied professionally, or use them yourself in your own bathroom. It will take some time to become a real professional in this job, but it will save you a great deal of money.

Self-Tanning Salons offer the service of applying paint using an air brush. It is a very effective method, provided that it is practiced by well-trained person. The color is uniform, because it is applied in the form of tiny droplets that are absorbed into the skin without any leaks, streaks or drips. Do not forget to bring your old swimsuit to your chosen salon.

Various gels, lotions and self-tanning creams are very simple to apply. These products are available in a number of catchy shades, from gold to bronze intense. Instant gels provide quick results that may or may not be permanent, depending on the product. Different overnight creams are applied in the evening, and the final color intensity is visible the next morning.

Fake tanners aren't based on paint, but on one natural ingredient called DHA. This component has a special characteristic that it reacts with most outer skin layer. As a result, the skin gets bronze shade, and the intensity mostly depends on DHA percentage in this particular product. All dead skin cells get colored this way. In time, the skin will renew itself, and the color will fade. If you want to avoid it, just re-apply the product every once in a while.

To achieve the best results, make sure to prepare the skin before applying your chosen product. Exfoliate all areas to remove all dead skin cells, especially where your skin is thickest, for example on your heels and elbows. Use a washcloth and your usual exfoliating product. Your skin should be perfectly dry. Using special color maintaining products may help you stay bronze longer.
