Best Tanning Lotion: Discover What You Need To Know

By Haywood Hunter


Too many people, particularly those living in the Northern Hemisphere, it is important to achieve a healthy glow when vacationing. Though spray tans can work, they do not provide the same feeling and they are expensive and time consuming to maintain of course. However, when sunbathing properly, it is important to use the best tanning lotion.

This is not an easy task though, with there being such a wide range of products available these days. Then of course there are all the different makes of person! Here are a few pointers to help make the right decision and get the best tanning lotion for your personal needs.

The Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) content is important. This is the active agent which does all the work. By reacting with amino acids in the skin, the color change reaction produces the tan. The higher this is, the greater the reaction. The lower it is, the milder the reaction. As such, for those wanting to bronze rapidly, something with a higher count would be good.

Possibly the most important number given on these products is the Sun Protection Factor (SPF). As it suggests, this rates how protective a product is against the Ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) light which is given off by the sun. It is most important to have a higher number when first tanning, if partial to burning or skin irritation, and most certainly for the under 18s.

Coloring Agent: This facilitates monitoring of your tanning application. This helps a person to check in real time the shade to get the shade they want. Some sprays and creams go clear and hence it is not possible to monitor the progress of application. If you are picky about getting your tan right, opt for something which has a coloring agent.

A bronzing agent is a direct aid to tanning. The cream itself will have added ingredients which will artificially give color to the skin, thus accelerating the process. It is important too to control the tone achieved, so the higher the number in this regard, the deeper the final effect will be.

As basking in the sun dries out the skin an awful lot, it is good to protect it from too much moisture loss. As such, products with skin conditioners in them are always good to use. Further than this too, using after sun treatments help to lock in color, soothe damaged skin and replenish essential moisture too.

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.
