The Advantages Of A Quality Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Most people know that self tanning lotion has been the product used to get a safer tan for many years. The formulas used have changed quite a bit. There are an endless number of formulas and different brands. The price range is broad as well.

German scientist found out that the white powder known as DHA would color the skin brown when they spilled some it. DHA is made up of fine white crystals. It is a powder that will attract molecules of water from it's environment. It is the main ingredient that is used in making tanning lotion.

Years later a major manufacturer of sun tan products introduced the first overnight tanning agent. And a new option for achieving a sun tan was born. Many companies began introducing their own versions. All of these earlier products, however, left much to be desired.

The fake orange tan was not quite what people were going for. Since that time there have been many advances. Although there are still some lotions that do not work well, there are some that do. These are usually a bit more expensive. But the main thing to consider is how much DHA is contained in the product. This will determine how dark the skin will be after use. More of this substance will yield a darker tan.

More recently, one has an array of other options. Air brushing, spray tanning, injections and even permanent tattoos are being used more and more frequently. However, these methods don't offer the moisturizing effects that lotions do. Many people who have naturally fair skin feel that having darker skin is really important to their appearance.

Long ago tanned skin was not desirable because society felt it was a representation of being from a low working class. In most cultures, that is no longer the case. Suppliers make huge profits from this highly marketable product. The biggest customers are women with fair skin. However, men use tanners as well. The reason some people tan may be that they wish to appear darker or it may be that they want a more even tone. The bottom line is that they want tanned skin.

Today people having fair skin are not the only users of these products. Some who are already tan or dark by nature, have a desires to appear even darker than they already are. More and more frequently women of color are also tanning. A more even complexion is one reason for this. And the bronze color in some of these lotions offer a glowing enhancement to their skin which already has an exotic appearance.

DHA is considered safe. Women who are pregnant are able to use self tanner without worrying about harmful effects to their babies. It is certainly safer than lying out in the sun and exposure to harmful rays. Some people rarely have an allergic reaction of the skin. Other than that, the only concern as far a safety would be to avoid the throat, nose, and eyes.

Having this option to achieve the results that you are looking for may be more beneficial budget wise. Do your research and check into some online reviews to find out which brand has a better rating. A good self tanning lotion should be fairly easy to find.
