The Search For Best Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Tanned skin has been considered a good thing especially among the white people. Many people in these cultures prefer the darker looking skin to the white as it looks paler. Tanning is done very easily by lying under the sun for some time. This causes the skin to produce more melanin to protect it against the UV rays and this cause skin to darken. There is however some seasons when the sun does not rise and therefore people use sunless tanners. The following is a review of the best self tanner.

Researchers have searched for some time and they have managed to come up with very effective sunless skin tanning lotions. These lotions are manufactured with the greatest and most luxurious ingredients in the universe that will give the users a natural looking darker complexion. The ingredients also moisturize and protect the skin making it look very beautiful.

The real challenge comes when a user wants to identify which tanning products are good. There are very many manufacturers of sunless tanning products and all say their products are the best. Many are manufactured in the form of lotions, milks, gels, creams, pills or sprays. They can be acquired in many locations like drugstores, beauty salons or even from online stores. But how can a user know which product to use?

Beauty specialists have been looking into these products for some time so as to figure out which are the best to use. They have done scientific study on them, looked at reviews by previous users and the industry experts and even looked at the sales figures of different tanning products. A good tanner is one whose smell is good, stays longer on skin and has less drying time. It also leads to an even color on the membrane.

These products have been in existence since 1960 when Coppertone first came up with such a product. The results of the first products were an orange look. There has been a lot of improvement on these products however so that now they produce products that give a more natural darker color. They work immediately or take some time to work.

Self-tanning however does not have the power to protect the skin from the dangers of ultra violet rays. This is because this skin tan does not work by producing melanin like the normal one does. People who use these methods to tan should therefore make good use of sunscreens to avoid sun burns when they are exposed to the sun.

The self-tanning lotions have the DHA chemical known as the dehydroacetone. This chemical interacts with the dead cell on the dermis of the skin to produce a color change. This color change is the one that causes skin to appear darker. Some products are ingested as pills and they interact with internal organs to cause skin color change.

There are some dangers of using these products especially those that are ingested. They have been proven to cause some health complications like hepatitis and also formation of yellow deposits on the retina of the eye. These products have been found to affect the internal organs such as the liver.
