Sunless Tanning
We have known for years that while spending some time in the
sun is good for us, prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet
(UV) rays can cause skin blemishes and even cancer. Getting
that healthy-looking tan can be a very unhealthy process, and
for people who are particularly fair skinned or do not tan
well, tanning in the sun is nearly pointless in addition to
unhealthy. Thankfully there is sunless tanning.
With sunless tanners, users get the appearance of being tan
without the harmful UV rays. It is also convenient—instead of
lying in the sun or a tanning bed for hours to get just the
right tan, a quick application of a sunless tanner does the job
in less than an hour. A sunless tanner can provide an even,
all-over tan with no lines. For those who burn instead of tan,
they can finally have the bronze skin they always wanted.
Some sunless tanners have additional benefits, like added
moisturizers and sunscreen, softening the skin and protecting
it at the same time they brown it.
There was a time when sunless tanners were not a very good
alternative to the real thing. They streaked and turned the
skin an odd orange color. However, today’s products have
greatly improved. They apply evenly and turn the skin a lovely
tan—and many of them come in different shades for fair, medium
and dark-skinned users.
The sunless tanners in the past few years have become easier
to apply, some of them even coming in spray applied in a booth
that cover the whole body in seconds. The best ones dry fairly
quickly and do not rub off on clothes.
Although lying in the sun and soaking up the rays is a
pleasant pastime, it is not safe for long enough periods for
most people to get the tan they desire. Sunless tanners provide
the perfect tan without the damaging effects of the sun.
We aim to provide you with all of the information you need to
make the right choice regardless of what you ultimately end up
deciding to do. We also hope to educate you about all of the
health benefits that sunless tanning
offers. Additionally, we will provide you with genuine, up to
date, non-biased reviews of sunless tanners, airbrush tanning solutions,
bronzers, and every other method of tanning. We feel that if
you can have a resource available to you that you can trust to
find a great product, that it is more likely that you will
choose to be a safe tanner!
Finally, for those of you who want nothing other than the
"natural" approach and want to spend time in the sun, or even
soak up some rays in a tanning bed, we want to help you do it
as safely as possible!
Quick sunless tanning fact: the most effective sunless
tanning products are lotions and sprays containing
dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA is a
colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in
the upper layer of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with
the dead skin cells, a color change occurs. This change usually
lasts about five to seven days from the initial
application.
