Evaluating the Top Sunless Tanning Products
Unless you think wrinkled, leathery skin with brown spots is
sexy you should limit your exposure to the harmful ultraviolet
rays of the sun. In addition to adversely affecting the
appearance of your skin, overexposure to the sun can result in
skin cancer. Despite the widespread message that people should
limit the amount of time they spend in the sun, many people
still continue to do so. One of the main reasons people neglect
to adhere to the warnings of the sun has to do with wanting to
obtain a tan. There are alternative methods for obtaining a tan
that do not cause the damaging effects of the sun. There are
some advantages and disadvantages of all the methods, so it is
best to evaluate the methods that are available and select the
one that best fits your needs.
The most popular sunless tanning products on the market that are
applied directly to the skin are lotions. Their popularity is
associated with their convenience and cost. You can apply
sunless tanning lotions just about anywhere. With some sunless
tanning products you have to apply the product overnight and
rinse it off in the morning. Many sunless tanning lotions are
formulated with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) so that you
can apply it and then proceed with your normal daily activities.
One of the main downsides of lotions is that you may not obtain
an even tan. Although you may apply the lotion to your entire
body, there may be areas that you miss or that may not have
absorbed into your skin.
The problem of tan evenness does not exist with airbrush
tanning. With this method you can obtain the most coverage of
any other sunless tanning product that you apply to your skin.
The coverage that you obtain from airbrush tanning is immediate
because the tanning solution is what gives you the tan. This is
in direct contrast to other methods of sunless tanning that
react with the natural chemistry of your skin. The product is
available in handheld systems that you apply yourself, or you
can visit a salon that provides tan spray booths. The only
disadvantage of using airbrush-tanning products is that you will
undoubtedly have to apply the product often since the product
will eventually fade.
For some people, applying sunless tanning products can cause
excessive dry skin. You can purchase a moisturizer separately or
purchase a sunless tanning kit. In addition to a sunless tanning
product (lotion, spray, or gel), sunless tanning kits generally
contain a product for exfoliating the skin before applying the
tanning product, and a moisturizer that you apply after applying
the product. While these kits are great for providing a complete
tanning solution, they can be expensive.
Regardless of the sunless tanning method you choose, you should
still use caution when you plan to spend a significant amount of
time in the sun. The sunless tanning methods listed here are
only a small representative of the products available on the
