The Accessibility And Beauty Of Sunless Tanning Lotions



By Haywood Hunter


Sunless tanning is one method people are choosing to achieve a healthy, outdoor look. It has the advantage of achieving a tan quickly without spending hours in the sun. It often changes a person's appearance, covering blemishes and making them appear slimmer.

In medical circles regarding sun, obtaining a tan and the skin, there are six skin types, ranging from pale white to dark, olive. Types 1 and 2 refer to skin that burns easily and seldom tans. People with this type of skin can use sunless tanning to achieve their desired look.

Creams, gels, lotions, and sprays are commonly used for sunless tanning. They can be self-applied or by a professional spray salon to achieve the desired appearance. However, it is important to choose the method that is most convenient and comfortable. This kind of sunless tanning must be repeated every few weeks.

This type of sunless tanning came about after the danger of the sun's UV and UVA rays were realized. These rays penetrate the skin and damage the underlying cells if protection is not provided. It must be remembered that sunless tanning will not offer the protection sunscreens and sunblocks will. Too much sun exposure, without protection, can result in premature aging.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the darkening ingredient found in these gels, lotions and sprays. It attaches to the dead cells of the skin, making them darker. When these cells are shed, the product will have to be re-applied, as the tan will fade.

Sunless tanning has FDA guideline approval so it is possible for anyone to achieve their desired look. When going to a professional technician for a sunless tanning application, special equipment will be used such as an LVLP spray gun or airbrush. Any contact by these products with the lips, mucus membrane, eyes, or inhalation should be avoided. This is a simple, safe way to achieve the look that a person desires.
