By Haywood Hunter


We all like the sun kissed- bronzed look. However, one cannot afford to spend hours together on the beach to achieve that perfect tan nor can everyone afford a professional spray service to maintain that tan. Solution to this problem is using the best tanning lotion.

Choosing the best tanning lotion is not an easy task with so many products available today. Though this choice is good, it can be a little frustrating. Here are five top tip which can help break down the jargon and make it more understandable.

One of the most important aspects to look for is the Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) content. This is the ingredient which reacts with amino acids in the skin to create the tan. The higher the content therefore, the quicker the process will be.



SPF 20: SPF or sun protection factor plays an important role in protecting your skin from harmful Ultraviolet (UVA and UVB rays) light. Always check the amount of SPF in your lotion to protect your skin from painful and dangerous sun burning. The greater the amount of SPF, the better for those who burn easily, such as the fair skinned.

Many of the leading products will have a coloring agent in them. This is great for those who are interested in monitoring their progress and ideal for those at risk of burning. It helps the user check the development of the tan. However, these lotions are never clear once applied, so not everybody gets on with them.

Bronzing agents too are very useful; having added ingredients which themselves give an artificial color to the skin. They also help accelerate the process somewhat, so are again good for rapid tanning. Good to get deeper colors too, many people prefer these.

The process of sunbathing strips away much of the moisture over time, and can damage the skin permanently. To help counteract this, it is good to look for a product containing skin conditioner. A barrier is created on top of the skin, essentially locking in moisture and ensuring that scaly skin does not develop.

It is great fun to bathe beneath the sun for a while, but care is needed of course. Selecting the best tanning lotion for your body type is essential in this regard. It may take a little time though, as what works for some will not work for all. So being extra careful through this time is advisable.
