What Consumers Should Know About Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


It is not fashionable to have pale looking skin. People will get tans to darken their skin and give it a glow. In the past most people did this by sitting in the sun for many days and hours. This practice stopped once it was shown that increased exposure caused skin cancer. Now tanning products have become more popular as people are looking for alternative methods to get a tan.

Most items that are used incorporate the skin cells to change color. This is done with a chemical called dihydroxyacetone. It works by only darkening the outer layer which is dead skin. This does not cause undue damage to the body when applied directly to the skin. It is worn and helps to accelerate a tan doing normal activities.

One must note that just like staying in the sun has consequences so does using the material without sunblock. There is not protection included in the item so you need to apply something to cover the skin for long periods of time. This will provide you with an additional barrier between you and the sun.

Pills are often used to help speed the effects of a tan. But because it is created artificially it can make some damaging side effects. You can become blind, get hives, damage the liver or even have skin the color of an orange. It is recommended not to use pills as they are unpredictable inside the body.

There is no need to wonder how long it will take when you apply the material to your skin. You can instantly see the results within a few hours. At the maximum it may take a day to see the end effect. If it is not what you want you can increase or decrease the usage amount.

Tanning products should be noted as to their benefits and complications before using. It will provide you with the tan that you want, but make sure that you use an item that does not have side effects. If you use the items safely and to the instructions you will get the benefits you want.
