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.

The American Academy of Dermatology has come with a study showing that a sun self tanning lotion containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is very efficient. This substance is acting by coloring the dead cells on the surface of the skin. But as these cells are worn away daily, it is recommended to use the sun self tanning lotion every two or three days, for a permanent 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.

In order to obtain a good result, before applying the sun self tanning lotion, the skin should be exfoliated for a few days before. A shed skin will allow the product to enter into effect faster. If the skin is prepared before with a moisturizer, this can assure a uniform color for all body areas. Not to apply the sun self tanning lotion in a steamy bathroom is also important to remember, as this can melt, causing streaks.

Another thing to know before using a sun self tanning lotion is to take enough time for its application. The sun self tanning lotion can require longer time to dry, comparing with foam for example. Better results can be obtained with slow moves and paying attention to all body areas. A natural look can be obtained if the tanner is mixed with a moisturizer.

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.
