Active Elements In Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


The current market is overflowing with many tanning options to choose from. The choice however can be hard to make if one lacks proper information about tanners. One must have information about ingredients in products, skin types, and application procedures to make right choices. This writing contains information one can apply to select the right sunless tanning lotion.

The first thing one should know is skin type. Human skins fall under three major types, though each type has several sub-divisions. The skin types are medium or olive, dark, and fair. Fair skins should not be subjected to tanning beds or sun rays because they burn. Medium skins tan elegantly without burning in sun while dark skins do not burn or get tanned either. They experience minimum color change in sun.

Tanning products fall under five main groups, that is, tingle, bronzers, moisturizers, facial tanners, and accelerators. Each group of products needs varied time frames to give different results. Although they may all attain similar outcomes, the working varies may vary a lot. Skin type should be the consideration when choosing a product because ingredients and their level of concentration differs in various products.

The concentration of a lotion is measured according to the amount of DHA and erythulose it contains. DHA and erythulose are the ones that cause tanning and are the key active ingredients in most lotions. They do this by reacting with amino acid in dead epidermal cells. Low concentration products should be the choice for fair-skinned people because high concentrations also cause burning.

Moisturizers in a lotion help to keep the skin moist and soft. Moist skin tans faster compared to dry skin hence one should consider moisturizers. Bronzers come in two forms and are also very important additives. The two categories of bronzers are immediate and gradual. The immediate bronzers darken the skin immediately after they are applied while gradual bronzers take some time for the tan to build up. The choice should depend on how fast the tan is needed.

Many individuals fear tingle, although it is able to give elegant results when applied in the right way. First, it causes reddening and a great feeling of irritation on the skin. It causes the skin to look horrible while the irritation is very uncomfortable, but when it stops, it leaves behind a beautiful tan. First timers are advised to apply tingle on their first application. Tingle builds the initial tan which can then be sustained through frequent application of other products.

Beginners should also consider accelerators. Maximizers and accelerators that are made from aloe formulas help in improving ability of skin to heal and also decrease the rate of aging in skin. Tan formation is also boosted. All products have the ingredients they are made of written on the container.

The effect caused by tanners fades away with time because dead epidermal cells slough off daily. The effect of tans only happens in the outermost skin layer and is lost when cells that form the layer slough off. To keep the tan fresh, one has to reapply the lotion frequently.
