Sunless Tanning Is Much Safer

By Haywood Hunter


Much has been said about sunbathing. The Sun is the source of life, and exposure to sunlight affects mood, health and overall quality of life. On the other hand, overexposure to the sun's rays can be very dangerous. You should avoid sunbathing at the time when the harmful rays are strongest. People with very pale and sensitive skin should use one of the methods of sunless tanning.

One of the most widely used method for achieving a beautiful bronze color at any time of the year is using solarium. Many self-tanning salons offer the solarium services in specially designed beds. Depending on the type of equipment, the whole process takes a relatively short time. It is important to protect your eyes and to properly prepare your skin for this procedure. The results are very similar to the results of natural sunbathing.

People usually need several sessions to achieve deeper bronze nuances. You can be beautifully tanned whenever you want to, but it will cost you. Results can be great, or terribly unnatural, depending on your skin type and the quality of particular equipment used. As with natural sunbathing, pale skin might be too sensitive to be treated this way.

The easy way for making your skin look gorgeously tanned is to use different self tanners. Fake tan creams, lotions and gels are available in really attractive shades, even in very deep, chocolate ones. You can get them applied professionally, or use them yourself in your own bathroom. It will take some time to become a real professional in this job, but it will save you a great deal of money.

Salons usually use airbrush technology. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes. A technician will use an airbrush to apply tiny little droplets of specially designed lotion. This way your skin color is going to be flawless, without streaks or discoloration. The important thing is to bring some old bikini with you, although they usually have disposable ones there.

Of course, you are perfectly able to do this in your own bathroom. All fake tan products are available in different forms and several catchy nuances you can choose from. Instant gels and foams, overnight lotions, facial creams, you name it. Most products need a few hours to develop, but when you are in hurry, there are some instant solutions for you, too.

Fake tanners aren't based on paint, but on one natural ingredient called DHA. This component has a special characteristic that it reacts with most outer skin layer. As a result, the skin gets bronze shade, and the intensity mostly depends on DHA percentage in this particular product. All dead skin cells get colored this way. In time, the skin will renew itself, and the color will fade. If you want to avoid it, just re-apply the product every once in a while.

Skin preparation for this procedure include gentle skin exfoliation. There are several very good skin exfoliating gels and foams that can be used for this, but you can simply use your washing cloth. Dry and rough skin areas require special attention, because they tend to absorb more lotion, and can become darker. Re-apply your chosen product when it's necessary. Color maintaining lotions can help saving color intensity.
