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. Unfortunately, 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 can be very unproductive, not to mention unhealthy. Thankfully there is sunless tanning. With sunless tanners, you can 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 tan, a quick application of a sunless tanner does the job in less than an hour. A sunless tanner can provide an even, full body tan without tan lines. For those who burn instead of tan, they can finally have the beautiful bronze skin they have always wanted and longed for safely and even affordably.

Some sunless tanners have additional benefits, like added moisturizers and sunscreen, which both soften the skin and keep it safe from the harmful UV rays. There used to be atime when sunless tanners were not a very good alternative to the real thing. They streaked and turned the skin an unflattering orange color. However, today’s products have greatly improved and offer so many great benefits and results that used to be unheard of. They apply evenly and turn the to a realistic color and many of them come in different shades for fair, medium and even dark skinned users. The sunless tanners in the past few years have become easier to apply, some of them even coming in spray or some which can be applied in a booth that will cover the whole body in less than a minute. The best sunless tanners dry fairly quickly and do not rub off on clothes or furniture.

Although lying in the sun and soaking up the rays is a pleasant experience, it is not safe for long enough periods of time for many people to get the level of tan that they desire. Sunless tanners can provide you with the perfect tan without the damaging affects of the sun.

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.
