Sunless tanning is getting your desired tan without the hassles. In these modern times, you no longer need to bake yourself under the sun's harmful rays and increase your chances of getting wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer just to get a perfect tan. Self-tanning lotions give you the same cosmetic benefits of solar roasting

without the negative effects on the skin.

Most self-tanning lotions contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient, a colorless chemical derived from glycerin. It is the safest and most effective ingredient in most self-tanning products. It works by reacting with amino acids in dead skin cells to produce a brown color change. The tan will normally last for seven days, depending on the specific type of tanning formula.

The manner in which the tanning lotion is applied also affects the duration of the tan.

Most forms of self-tanning products come in the form of lotions. They are usually the most effective, but are relatively messy when being applied to the skin. Some take the form of colorless sprays. Applying self-tanning sprays, unless tinted, can be somewhat of a challenge though, especially on your back. Newer forms of self tanners come in the form of towelettes.

Tanning towelettes are easier to apply than sprays,

Just as there are many different forms of self-tanners, there are many variants for each type that cater to a specific skin type or shade. So it is wise to choose the specific tanning product that exactly matches your needs. With self-tanning products, there is no need to go out of sun and get harmed. Plus, you can get that perfect tan anytime of the year.
