Information Regarding Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


The market is currently filled with several products that give elegant tanning effects when applied properly. Choosing the right commodity however needs some experience and knowledge about tanning products. To choose a good product, one needs the right information on application procedures, content of the product, and skin type. This article contains information on choosing a good sunless tanning lotion.

Knowing the skin type should be the first thing to do. Human skins can be placed into three major categories, though each type may have sub-divisions. The three types are dark, fair, and medium or olive. Since fair skins burn when subjected to solar radiation, people with type of skin should not use sun beds and the sun. Medium-skinned however can use radiation because their skin tans. Dark skin type however cannot burn, but also it does not tan.

Tanning lotions can be grouped into five main classes, that is, facial tanners, accelerators, tingle, bronzers, and moisturizers. Each class of products works differently to give different outcomes within different periods of time. Although they all achieve similar results, how the results are achieved differs widely. Skin type should determine the choice of product because the ingredients and concentration of the ingredients differs in different products.

Concentration of a product is gauged in terms of the amount of erythulose and DHA contained in it. DHA and erythulose are the main active ingredients in tanning lotions responsible for causing the tan. They react with amino acid in dead cells in the epidermis layer. Fair-skinned people should choose products with lowest concentration because high concentrations can cause burning too.

Moisturizers in a lotion help to keep the skin moist and soft. Moist skin tans faster compared to dry skin hence one should consider moisturizers. Bronzers come in two forms and are also very important additives. The two categories of bronzers are immediate and gradual. The immediate bronzers darken the skin immediately after they are applied while gradual bronzers take some time for the tan to build up. The choice should depend on how fast the tan is needed.

Many individuals fear tingle, although it is able to give elegant results when applied in the right way. First, it causes reddening and a great feeling of irritation on the skin. It causes the skin to look horrible while the irritation is very uncomfortable, but when it stops, it leaves behind a beautiful tan. First timers are advised to apply tingle on their first application. Tingle builds the initial tan which can then be sustained through frequent application of other products.

Other important additives for beginners are accelerators. Accelerators with an aloe formula give the skin ability to heal fast and age slowly. It also accelerates the process of tan formation. All lotions have a list of ingredients printed on the container they come in.

The effect caused by tanners fades away with time because dead epidermal cells slough off daily. The effect of tans only happens in the outermost skin layer and is lost when cells that form the layer slough off. To keep the tan fresh, one has to reapply the lotion frequently.
