Sunless Tanning Methods Are Safe For The Skin As Compared To Sun Tanning

Sunless tanning is being increasingly preferred by celebs and even non-celebs as a safer and time-saving option to traditional sun-tanning. Though sun-tanning does not cost anything, you need to spend hours together in the sun to achieve a sun-bronzed look. Besides, recent research has shown that sun tanning exposes you to the harmful UV rays and puts you at risk of developing skin cancer. Hence experts recommend the use of various sunless tanning methods such as use of lotions, sprays, pills, tanning beds or lamps. These fake or sunless tanning methods give you the appearance of sun-kissed look without exposing you to the risk of sunburn or skin cancers.

Sunless Tanning Products

Sunless tanning or tanning by artificial means can be achieved through various methods. You can choose from a variety of sunless tanning products available on the market. Some popular sunless tanning products have been discussed below:

• Sunless Tanning Lotion – These are a popular and effective way of getting a sun-kissed look. Most sunless tanning lotions have dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as their active ingredient. The DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in your epidermis to give you a bronzed look. You’ll get a color changed within 5-7 days. The affect of tanning lotions last for a few days. You need to reapply the sunless or self-tanner about every 3 days to maintain your tanned look.
• Sunless Tanning Spray – The tanning sprays are quite similar to tanning lotions, the difference being that tanning sprays are provided with a spray gun through which the tanning solution is sprayed on to your body. You may use tanning sprays at home or visit a Tanning Booth to get a more even tan.
• Sunless tanning pills – Use of tanning pills is also gaining popularity these days. Several tanning pills contain vitamin A and beta-carotene as their active ingredients; it naturally affects the skin pigment. Some tanning pills work by increasing the production of melanin in your skin. Melanin, when it comes into contact with sunlight, naturally starts to darken.
• Tanning beds – Sun beds, also known as tanning beds are a popular method of achieving cosmetic tanning. A tanning bed has fluorescent tubes that emit ultraviolet (UV) rays. Proper precautions need to be taken to ensure the tanning process goes safely.
