Modern Methods Of Sunless Tanning

By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful, bronze skin is always an asset. Unfortunately, the easiest way of achieving it is the most dangerous one. Exposing your skin to direct sunlight in the middle of a day can cause serious burns, for example, but also skin cancer, especially if the skin is pale and sensitive. This skin type requires special attention and maximal sunblock, but it is still risky to expose it to the sun. Other sunless tanning methods are more appropriate.


Solarium was very popular for years. This method is quick, easy and the most expensive one. But, you have to be careful, because it could cause sunburns as well. In any case, you need to protect your eyes. Skin should be prepared for this treatment, and the whole thing is quite pleasant. If you are patient enough, you will be satisfied with final results.

People usually need several sessions to achieve deeper bronze nuances. You can be beautifully tanned whenever you want to, but it will cost you. Results can be great, or terribly unnatural, depending on your skin type and the quality of particular equipment used. As with natural sunbathing, pale skin might be too sensitive to be treated this way.

The easy way for making your skin look gorgeously tanned is to use different self tanners. Fake tan creams, lotions and gels are available in really attractive shades, even in very deep, chocolate ones. You can get them applied professionally, or use them yourself in your own bathroom. It will take some time to become a real professional in this job, but it will save you a great deal of money.

Salons usually use airbrush technology. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes. A technician will use an airbrush to apply tiny little droplets of specially designed lotion. This way your skin color is going to be flawless, without streaks or discoloration. The important thing is to bring some old bikini with you, although they usually have disposable ones there.

Various gels, lotions and self-tanning creams are very simple to apply. These products are available in a number of catchy shades, from gold to bronze intense. Instant gels provide quick results that may or may not be permanent, depending on the product. Different overnight creams are applied in the evening, and the final color intensity is visible the next morning.

Fake tanners aren't based on paint, but on one natural ingredient called DHA. This component has a special characteristic that it reacts with most outer skin layer. As a result, the skin gets bronze shade, and the intensity mostly depends on DHA percentage in this particular product. All dead skin cells get colored this way. In time, the skin will renew itself, and the color will fade. If you want to avoid it, just re-apply the product every once in a while.

The skin should be smooth and gently exfoliated before the procedure. Soft washcloth or sponge will help, but it is advisable to use exfoliating gel as well. Pay special attention to rough skin on your elbows and heels. Apply your self tanner on perfectly dry skin. Different color maintaining lotion will make your color even more attractive and more durable.
