Details About Sunless Tanning And How Is It Conducted

By Haywood Hunter


Quite some time ago, having a tanned body was all about lying down for long under the sun. However, new age products have made it possible without this excruciating ordeal. These products can provide the required tan within much lesser time as required for conventional tanning. This is known as sunless tanning and has been around for a while now.

These products get absorbed in the skin without any issue. Sensitivity of different types of skin may dictate how easily these get absorbed in individual cases. For instance, feet absorb them pretty faster than other parts of the body. It is always a smart idea to go through the directions of their usage before starting to use them. Information on the best ways in which these can be used is given here.

Many sprays, lotions and gels tend to have dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as their active ingredient. This compound is obtained from plant sources and triggers such reactions on the skin that result in browning. The tanning effect generated by it can stay for around a week. The exact duration for which its effect stays varies for different skin types.

Sometimes, another chemical compound known as erythrulose is combined with DHA to provide tan that stays longer. The tan produced by combination of these two is slow to develop. But it stays for comparatively longer duration when compared to that of DHA based products.

It is advised by most experts that one should test these products on a small patch of skin to begin with. In case these are allergic to the skin, one may come to know about the same much before serious damage takes place. Consulting an expert physician before starting their usage is always a good option. If the product is found to be non allergic, it can be readily applied on skin. A spray is much easier to use and can be used with little external help.

Spas offer tanning with specialized gadgets. These gadgets include spray guns like airbrush, HVLP spray gun and LVLP spray gun. A spray of the solution is applied on the body of the client by a technician using any one of these gadgets. Most spas ensure compliance with FDA guidelines regarding the spray which is controlled with an efficient controller.

Temporary bronzers too, have become popular in recent times. These can give a dark tan pretty quickly, but get washed away with water. Another aspect of their usage is that wearing close fitting clothes can result in a rub-off which is quite visible. To prevent this from happening, one should avoid snug clothing while wearing a temporary tan.

It can also get ruined by skin-hugging clothes and hence, combining these two needs to be avoided. Moisturizers with tanning agents can be used for getting a tan gradually.

One may go for any one of the numerous sunless tanning methods that are available. It has to be noted that water and tanning products are not good bedfellows. Hence, their contact should be avoided at all costs to maintain the tan.
