Applying Self Tanning Products To Get A Safe And Beautiful Tan For Bikini Season

By Haywood Hunter


In the past, people would get their tan by lying in the sun. Then scientists discovered that this can lead to skin cancer. Now many people use self tanning products to get their beautiful tans.

Ultraviolet rays come directly from the sun; it would seem that this would be a good thing and it is, as long as you protect your skin. In fact, ultraviolet is necessary in small doses as it provides the best source of vitamin D. The problem is that too much sun can cause the skin to burn and eventually lead to skin cancer.

A lot of people prefer the healthy glow of a good tan. It brightens your complexion and makes you look more youthful and healthy. However, medical advances have shown us that ultraviolet rays can be very harmful. Even too much time in a tanning bed can cause the same damage as the sun. The solution is to use self tanning products.

Self tanning products are sold in liquid and towelette form. It comes in creams, lotions, and milks. The important thing to know about them is that they all have use the same process; the amino acids in skin react with the DHA in the self tanning products to make a glowing healthy tan. It takes a short time, several hours, for the tan to appear and it lasts up to a week.

Self tanning products do not work properly unless you apply it carefully. The first step is skin exfoliation, which should be done several hours before application of the self tanning products. Then dry the skin before application. Once you have put on your latex gloves then you can begin applying the self tanning products to the entire surface of the skin. Remember to wash your hands after you are done so that too much product is not left behind. A sweep of your skin with a hair dryer will help it to set properly.

You can also get a good tan in a spray booth. It can definitely be an easier process than self tanning products but is also significantly more expensive. Here you go to the tanning salon, or they come to your house, and then they spray the DHA formula onto your skin. It dries a little quicker than self tanning products but does not last any longer.

Some people worry about using self tanning products because they remember the first wave of products that turned people into a scary orange color. They also had a bad smell that came from the wrong mixture of chemicals. This can still happen if you use cheap self tanning products but should not if you use the higher end ones.

For many people cost is the determining factor in choosing self tanning products. A lotion or mousse can cost from $5 to $50 but this is one product that is worth the higher price. Spray tans are the most expensive and can be anywhere from $25 to $50 a session.

Healthy, glowing skin can be easily achieved with the use of self tanning products. There are many different types, including mousse, creams, and spray. Whatever your choice there is no excuse to turn up without beautifully tanned skin.
