What You Need To Know About Sun Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


A direct exposure to sunlight can cause a lot of damage, reason for which manufacturers have created a product that can create the same effect, with less risk. This alternative is the sun self tanning lotion. Using the sun self tanning lotion product, the risk of being affected by UVA and UVB rays will be considerable reduced. This way of obtaining a beautiful bronzed skin is not only a healthier alternative, but a rapid one as well.

Today there are many products available on the market. The first sun self tanning lotion from this category was launched in 1960 by the company Coppertone, under the name of QT. But since that moment the products from this category have increased as availability and quality. Therefore nowadays the manufacturers are producing pills, bronzers and self tanners. Most of these products are producing effects immediately or in maximum two, three hours.

It was demonstrated by the American Academy of Dermatology that the sun self tanning lotion with highest efficiency are those containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This substance from the sun self tanning lotion is in fact a colorless sugar that interacts with the skin's dead cells, changing their color. But as million of cells are being removed from the skin surface every day, this requires for the sun self tanning lotion to be applied often, for a continuous result.

There is a large availability of products containing DHA. No matter if gel, cream or spray, products with DHA are created to have the same effect. An accelerator of the sun self tanning lotion process is the tyrosine, and this can be found in some products created especially with this purpose. Accelerators usually contain tyrosine, which stimulates and increase the melanin formation.

Bronzer is one of the most popular products used to obtain a beautiful tanned skin. It does not only stain the skin, but has a moisturizing effect as well. The big advantage of a sun self tanning lotion product is that the tan can be removed very easy, with soap and water only. As it looks very much like a product for make-up, the tan will not resist to the next wash.

Preparing the skin before the application of the sun self tanning lotion, can assure an excellent result and for a long period. If the skin is exfoliated for few days before, this will facilitate a faster and better tanning. A sun self tanning lotion can also be used with success to prepare the skin and assure the same result all over the body. A product should not be applied in a steamy bathroom, as it can leave streaks on the skin.

Self tanning lotions can take more time to dry than the foam; if extra time is needed the lotion should be used. The application should be made with attention, in order not to leave uncovered areas, or darker spots. If the tanner is mixed with a moisturizer, the result can be more natural.

It is very important to know that a sun self tanning lotion will not protect the skin from the sun rays. A good protection can be obtained only using a sunscreen. A middle solution might be to mix the tanning product with a sunscreen lotion, even if the protection will not be the maximum.
