Good Tanning Products Are Available

Summer, sunbathing and good company are always a winning combination. Especially if your skin is beautifully tanned and attractive. Everyone looks so much better with that lovely bronze skin. Tanning makes all those irritating little imperfections disappear, legs are longer and slimmer, and all body looks firmer and younger.





The problem is that summer comes just once a year, and it lasts only a few short months. Besides, sunbathing, however appealing it may be, is associated with skin cancer and all sorts of other risks. Furthermore, although there are many people who tan easily, some people just cannot achieve bronze tan sunbathing.

People with pale, freckled, sensitive skin sometimes are unable to achieve bronze hues. Their skin is too sensitive to be exposed to sun rays, and they just get burned if they try. Solarium services are quite expensive, and they can be associated with different risks as well. Tanning booths can solve their problems, as well as some good quality self tanning lotions.



Tanning lotions are available in several appealing shades, and you can choose the one appropriate for your natural complexion. Lovely golden shades look very nice and make your skin soft and radiant all year round. When Summer comes, you may try deeper hues, dark bronze and very attractive, but it all depends on your taste.

The active ingredient in most sunless tanning lotions is one compound called DHA. It is based on natural sugar, and when applied to skin, it reacts with the surface layer, creating lovely bronze color. This effect is only temporary, and the color will eventually fade. The fact is the same thing happens with naturally achieved tan. It will fade and disappear in time.

The reason for tan fading is the fact that human skin constantly regenerates itself. The most outer skin layer is full of dead skin cells that will fall eventually. You will speed up this process if you exfoliate your skin. It is important to do it before applying your tanning lotion. The skin will become softer and smoother, and your tan will last longer.

Good hydration is essential for keeping your skin healthy and elastic. Good quality tanning products contain different moisturizers and some other nourishing compounds. It is especially important to hydrate your dry and sensitive skin. Some products are designed for this skin type, but good quality lotions mostly are suitable for all types of skin.

Although tanning booths could be the easiest solution, you can simply apply sunless tanning lotions by yourself. Some of these products contain color indicators. Color indicators ease the process of application. They are mostly very dark, and it makes it almost impossible to miss the spot. This intense color is entirely washable.

Instant tanning lotions will provide the desired shade instantly. Some need a little time to fully develop the final color, but it usually takes up to three hours. Overnight fake tanners are designed for evening application, but you don't have to worry about your linen, because they won't leave any stains.
