The Advantages Of A Quality Self Tanning Lotion



By Haywood Hunter


It is a well known fact that for years self tanning lotion has been used as a safer tanning option. Formulas have changed a lot during that time. The brands and formulas are all but endless. And the price range is equally as broad.

German scientist found out that the white powder known as DHA would color the skin brown when they spilled some it. DHA is made up of fine white crystals. It is a powder that will attract molecules of water from it's environment. It is the main ingredient that is used in making tanning lotion.

Years later a major manufacturer of sun tan products introduced the first overnight tanning agent. And a new option for achieving a sun tan was born. Many companies began introducing their own versions. All of these earlier products, however, left much to be desired.

The fake orange tan was not quite what people were going for. Since that time there have been many advances. Although there are still some lotions that do not work well, there are some that do. These are usually a bit more expensive. But the main thing to consider is how much DHA is contained in the product. This will determine how dark the skin will be after use. More of this substance will yield a darker tan.

Today there are so many other options. Aerosol sprays, air brushing, permanent tattooing, and even injections are more recent methods that people are using. Still, lotions may have moisturizing qualities that these other options just do not offer. Having a darker complexion is obviously important to a number of naturally fair skinned individuals.

In earlier times, skin that was tan was not acceptable because of it's association with being from a lower working class. This is not at all the case today. There is a huge market and suppliers find that their products produce high profits. The largest number of users of self tanners are fair skinned women. However, both men and women find them useful. Whether to have a more even skin tone or to appear a lot darker, a tan is desired by many.

In recent years, those with fair skin have not been the only ones using self tanners. There are those who already have tan or dark toned skin who desire to be even darker. Women of color are now tanning. Those who do use these products enjoy the benefits of a more even complexion. And if the lotion contains shimmer, the golden effect is a welcome enhancement to their already exotic appearance.

Using a lotion containing DHA is said to be safe when used externally and applied as directed. Even women who are pregnant can use it without fear of harming their unborn child. It is clear that using it is much safer than sun exposure. The only safety concerns would be if the product were to get into the eyes, nose, or throat somehow, or if one has an allergic reaction to it.

It is good that this option is available for tanning oneself. Some brands have better ratings than others. Reviews can be found online. Do your research and you should easily find a self tanning lotion that will work well for you.
