Get A Golden Tan By Using Sun Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


For people who struggle with getting a natural tan, sun tanning lotion is a logical alternative. There are several options for tanning without having to lay in the sun. Tanning beds, pills, creams, gels and sprays are all viable options for sunless tanning, but sun tanning lotion seems to be among the most popular alternatives available.

Sun tanning lotion is a very safe tanning method. These lotions have been evaluated by the FDA and proven safe due to the ingredients used to make them. For example, one of the main ingredients in sun tanning lotion is dihydroxyacetone, known as DHA for short, which is derived from nothing more than sugar cane.

DHA is an important element of these lotions because when it comes in contact with amino acids left behind by dead skin cells, it creates a reaction that tints the skin. That tint is the tan look the product is being used for. This chemical reaction is not harmful and the lotion can only penetrate the upper layer of skin meaning it can not enter the bloodstream.

Sun tanning lotion works well at mimicking that sun bathed look. It won't cause a streaky appearance and there is no dreaded orange tint. Sun tanning lotion goes on easily and dries rapidly. It also provides health benefits to the skin by nourishing and moisturizing it.

There is a wide variety of lotion scents available so even men can use these products. Some version include a skin cooling effect as well. Almost all sun tanning lotions are non-greasy formulas and won't stain any clothing.

Individuals who have issues with sensitive skin should test any lotion on a small area of the body and wait 24 hours to see if a reaction occurs. If a rash does develop, it will be a lot less painful in that small test area than it would be if the entire body was covered. Just because on specific lotion causes a rash does not necessarily mean all sun tanning lotions will.

Sun tanning lotion can be used in the Summer when tans are most desired or even during the Winter to avoid pale skin from a lack of sunshine. A bottle of sun tanning lotion can be tossed in with luggage when going on a trip as well. A few minutes spent in the bathroom is all that is needed to get a golden color so it can be applied no matter where the travel destination is.

There are several different shades of sun tanning lotion, so a color to match any skin tone should be available. Some people prefer to use darker shades in the Summer so that it looks like they have spent a lot of time in the sun. During Winter months, many people opt for a lighter tan that is just enough to cover up pale Winter skin.

Sun tanning lotion is very safe to use. It provides a fast and efficient alternative to laying in the sun. With limited exposure to harsh UV rays, skin cancer risks are greatly reduced. Sun tanning lotion also provides a healthy glow through needed nutrients and moisturizers. Sun tanning lotion is an inexpensive alternative to methods like tanning beds. The results are almost immediate.
