How Often To Apply Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


The current market is overflowing with many tanning options to choose from. The choice however can be hard to make if one lacks proper information about tanners. One must have information about ingredients in products, skin types, and application procedures to make right choices. This writing contains information one can apply to select the right sunless tanning lotion.


The first thing one should know is skin type. Human skins fall under three major types, though each type has several sub-divisions. The skin types are medium or olive, dark, and fair. Fair skins should not be subjected to tanning beds or sun rays because they burn. Medium skins tan elegantly without burning in sun while dark skins do not burn or get tanned either. They experience minimum color change in sun.

Tanning products fall under five main groups, that is, tingle, bronzers, moisturizers, facial tanners, and accelerators. Each group of products needs varied time frames to give different results. Although they may all attain similar outcomes, the working varies may vary a lot. Skin type should be the consideration when choosing a product because ingredients and their level of concentration differs in various products.

The concentration of a lotion is measured according to the amount of DHA and erythulose it contains. DHA and erythulose are the ones that cause tanning and are the key active ingredients in most lotions. They do this by reacting with amino acid in dead epidermal cells. Low concentration products should be the choice for fair-skinned people because high concentrations also cause burning.

Lotions that contain moisturizers keep the skin smooth and moist. Moisturizers are important additives because moisture eases and accelerates tanning in skin. There are two kinds of bronzers, which are both very important. One is gradual while the other one is immediate. In immediate bronzers skin darkening effect happens immediately the substance gets applied whereas in gradual bronzers time must be given for the tan to develop. The urgency with which one needs the tan should determined the choice between gradual and immediate bronzers.

Many people fear the tingle, but its results are very elegant if it is applied properly. First, it makes the body to feel irritated and then change color to red. The irritation can cause a lot of discomfort, but when it finally wears off, a beautiful tan is built. Tingle is recommendable for first timers. It helps in building the initial tan that one can maintain by frequently applying other tanners.

Accelerators are the other essential additives that beginners should consider. Accelerators and maximizers that contain aloe help in slowing the aging process and improve ability of the skin to heal. They also speed up tan formation. A list of all ingredients a lotion contains is printed on the container.

As dead cells making up the epidermal cells slough off, the effect of tanners on the skin fades away too. This happens because tanners only have effect on the outermost skin layer and when the layer gets replaced with new dead cells, the color change fades. To maintain the tan, the lotion needs to be reapplied regularly.
