Applying New Sunless Tanning Lotions Or Creams

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless tanning lotions, gels and creams have become sought after products in recent years. Getting a natural suntan requires several hours in the sun, which is very dangerous over time. There are also individuals that do not tan in the sun. These sunless tan lotions are the perfect solution for safe and fast tans without the risk of sun damage.

There are a range of different types of skin tanning products that can be purchased that are beyond lotions. Self-tan sprays are also very popular and easy to apply. Many individuals like to remain tan all year long but do not want to be exposed to the inherent dangers of the sun.

Many of the self-tan lotions contain a chemical named dihydroxyacetone or DHA. This is an FDA-approved product that is applied to the skin. When the dead cells of the skin comes into contact with this compound, the amino acids within the skin cells react causing the skin tone to darken.

The newer tanning products do not rely on pigments of stains to darken the skin. These pigments often stain clothing and provide an artificial looking tan that is not very appealing. Many of the older products leave an orange hue to the skin but the new sunless tanning lotions offer more natural looking results.

There are several benefits to applying self tanning lotions. A major benefit is the reduction of exposing the skin to UV rays in order to get a tan. Constant exposure to UV rays has been associated with skin cancer. Most of these sunless lotions also contain an adequate amount of sunscreen to provide additional protection.

These products are easy to use and the results are immediate. As soon as it is applied, the skin takes on a natural tan. These sunless tanning lotions are made to be smear resistant so they will not stain clothing. This is a safer and more cost-effect way to receive a tan than visiting a tanning salon.
