The Best Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful summer glow is always popular, thanks to the fact that everyone looks so much better this way. The cheapest way for getting this lovely bronze color is to spend several hours sunbathing. Of course, this way you can be tanned only during summer months, and sunbathing can be quite dangerous. Choosing good quality self tanning lotion might be much better solution.

Some people prefer tanning beds. The problem is that these beds emit at least three times more dangerous UV rays than summer sun. Lotions designed to use in tan beds often don't contain UV protection, and you have to be very careful when using them. In fact, they are usually designed only to enhance the production of melanin, and to speed up your bronzing.

The easiest thing you can do is to apply different sunless tanners. They can be lotions, gels, creams or foams, but all good ones are mostly based on DHA. This component based on natural sugar reacts with outer skin layer and produces bronze color. This whole process takes up to six hours, because this chemical reaction develops color gradually. Your final color intensity depends on the percentage of DHA contained in your tanner.

DHA is perfectly harmless, and creates attractive bronze colors that look natural, just as you have spent long hours baking under hot summer sun. The color lasts at least for a week. Considering the fact your skin sheds once in every three to four days, your color will gradually fade away. To keep your desired color shade you have to reapply the product when you see the change in your skin color.

Your skin needs to be properly prepared for the application. It means that it has to be exfoliated, cleansed and well moisturized. Well prepared skin will be evenly dyed and smooth, and your color will last longer. Using good quality moisturizer will additionally prolong the life of your beautiful bronze summer glow. In any case, choosing the best quality products is the best guarantee for great results.

Making the right choice is not so easy. There are numerous different products out there, and it is hard to choose the best one. The first thing you should do is to read the list of ingredients. Search for natural ingredients, good quality natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil and natural anti-oxidants. It is always advisable to choose products that contain higher SPF.

Dark skin provides natural protection from UV rays. The tan achieved using sunless tanners has nothing to do with melanin, and cannot provide any protection. You need to use good quality SPF lotions when outside. In fact, it is recommended to use protective lotions whenever you leave your home, because UV rays can be very dangerous and speed up the aging process.

Considering all these things, you see how important is to read the list of ingredients. If you want to have beautiful, impeccable summer tan, but also to keep your skin healthy and young, you need to use high quality products based on natural ingredients only. Apply your chosen product yourself, or find some respectable airbrush professional to do it for you. This technique is really the best for this purpose.
