Tips For Buying Self Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Human skins fall in several groups including red, black, brown, and white. The various skin types may be dry, oily, or scaly. Due to this, most individuals find it necessary to use self tanning products to alter skin properties like color and to give it additional nourishment. Dihydroxyacetone is contained in most products as the active component that triggers color change when applied. Dihydroxyacetone is abbreviated to DHA in most articles. The application of products with DHA renders sun bathing and use of sun beds unnecessary.

Dihydroxyacetone comes in two major forms. The first form is the chemical version while the second one is the natural version. It is recommendable to use commodities with the natural form of DHA because it is derived from plants hence very harmless to the human body. The chemical version is manufactured in companies and may contain some chemicals that might not be very suitable for the body.

The skin has three main layers and the uppermost layer also called corneum is the one responsible for all tanning in the body. Corneum has dead cells which contain amino acids. DHA combines with the amino acids in the dead cells to cause a reaction that leads to a change in color. The reaction is very safe and non-toxic making DHA a safe and recommendable product.

The observed color change is temporary and the product needs periodic reapplication to maintain the tan. In many cases one should take ten days before reapplying. Some formulas have a combination of DHA and erythulose, another tanning compound. The resulting mixture produces a more conspicuous tan that lasts longer than when each of them is used alone. In products that contain erythulose alone, it works like DHA, but the tan requires more time form fully.

Tanning commodities are the best option for achieving a radiant skin due to many reasons. Apart from the fact that they are safe, one does not need to spend several hours on the sun or in a sun bed. Exposing the body to sunlight for too long may cause skin cancer in many skin types hence making UV option unsuitable. The danger of skin burns is also eliminated.

Skin cells get rejuvenated by tanners making the skin appear young and wrinkle-less. Unwrinkled skins appear young and striking. As opposed to this secure method that causes no harm, sun bathing destroys skin supporting tissues. When supporting tissues get damaged, skin starts to age. Sun rays also cause wrinkles something most individuals try so much to prevent.

The skin is also kept moisturized all day long by additional substances contained in them. However, one should know that commodities with moisturizers do not cause instant skin tan. Several days or application may be required for a full tan to be achieved. Such products offer the best option for people not in a hurry to get a tan, but require it to develop slowly over time.

Compounds that protect the skin from sun are the other important additives. Such additives safeguard the body from damage by sunlight. They are essential particularly in regions with hot weather.
