By Haywood Hunter


Beautiful bronze tan makes you younger, slimmer and more attractive. If you think it's enough looking great only during summer months, it's your choice, but today it is possible to look your best in any season. Sunbathing used to be the only way for achieving beautiful bronze tan, but there are many other ways for this. You can simply apply some good self tanning lotion, for example.

There are numerous tanning salons offering all types of services. Tanning beds are still very popular, although most people don't realize that this equipment emits high levels of UV radiation. Besides, different lotions used in tan beds rarely contain SPF, their primary purpose is to accelerate your bronzing, enhancing the production of melanin. Some can contain other chemicals or colorants as well.

Sunless tanners come in forms of sprays, gels, lotions and creams. Today, most of them are based on DHA. DHA has very interesting characteristic. When it is applied on the skin, it reacts with skin cells, and dye them into different bronze nuances. It usually affects only the top skin layer, containing mostly dead skin cells. The higher percentage of DHA in your products will create darker nuances.

DHA is made from sugar and it is really harmless, what makes it good for all skin types. It affects only the top skin layer, made mostly of dead skin cells. Human skin sheds occasionally, and these dead skin cells will gradually fall off. That's why your color will disappear in maybe ten days. Simply apply another layer of your selected tanner when you think it is needed.

Your skin needs to be properly prepared for the application. It means that it has to be exfoliated, cleansed and well moisturized. Well prepared skin will be evenly dyed and smooth, and your color will last longer. Using good quality moisturizer will additionally prolong the life of your beautiful bronze summer glow. In any case, choosing the best quality products is the best guarantee for great results.

There are so many different sunless tanning lotions that choosing the best of them really isn't easy. Still, there are some things you can depend on when making your choice. For example, good quality products should contain natural ingredients. Natural moisturizers such as hemp seed oil or aloe are very good for all skin types, and your product should also contain natural anti oxidants and SPF.

Sunbathing results with darker skin, thanks to increased level of melanin. This dark color is a natural protection against dangerous UV rays, with SPF three or even four, depending on your skin type. If you use self tanners without SPF, your tan will be bronze, but won't provide any UV protection. Considering different health risks associated with sun exposure, you should use products with SPF when outside.

When choosing your favorite sunless tanning lotion, make sure to read the list of ingredients very carefully. Choose good quality products only, and you won't be disappointed with achieved results. If you want to achieve really impeccable results, maybe you should consider visiting professional airbrush tanning salon. This technique really provides the best possible results.
