A Guide To Using Sunless Tanning Product Options Safely And Effectively

By Veronica Cappelletti


To many many men and women, there is nothing as desirable as a flawlessly bronzed skin. This can be hard to achieve especially for those light skinned people who live in Arctic and temperate climates where there is very little sunshine. Fortunately, there are some readily available sunless tanning product options that can be applied to good effect and convenience.



As with all application of chemical elements on the body, one needs to be extra cautious when it comes to putting these substances on the skin. A good proportion of them are made of a product called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is a proven organic substance that works by drying the outer skin substantially in a way that helps attain the tanned look.

While there is nothing to fear from application of the products according to guidelines given when the products are sold, no caution can be deemed as overt. The outer skin is decidedly well protected but the effects on the internal organs are not well known. The application process should therefore be done with adequate caution to ensure that none of the substance gets into the eyes or other openings.



It is important to take into consideration the fact that a once over application is only achieve temporary effects. In effect, the resulting tan is only visible over a course of a few days at the most. Conversely, if the results are less than you expected to achieve, you have no choice but to wait a number of days before the tan wears off naturally. No amount of scrubbing will prove effective.

To achieve a good effect, it may be necessary to prepare the skin a few days prior to the application. This is usually done through a process called exfoliation. A number of products that help in keeping your skin moisturized over a period of time are handy in this respect. One then has to shower thoroughly with a good amount of scrubbing in order to ensure that all the dead cells are washed off.

A number of sunless tanning product offers are currently available in the market. So long as someone takes reasonable precautions, there is no need to fear negative side effects. One does not have to lie for endless hours on a tropical beach to attain a desirable skin tan.
