How Do Many Of The Best Self Tanning Products Do Many Of Their Job

By Haywood Hunter


The cold weather is beginning to drift away from many areas and the warm summer temperatures are returning. This means there will be tons of girls and boys heading off to the beach to play and have fun. Many will not want people to see how white their skin has turned and will look to get one of the best self tanning products to make them look tan.

There is something that is called dihydroxyacetone that people can put on their skin to deepen their natural color. This is an active ingredient in many creams and lotions found on store shelves all over. This substance will only travel down into the upper layer of the epidermis.

Dihydroxyacetone is also called DHA. When the lotion is applied it will interact with the dead cells of the dermis to become darker than normal. Since these cells are no longer alive they will fall off fairly quickly when one showers or goes swimming. This makes it so a person has to reapply the lotion on a regular basis to keep their appearance.

There are some things that are called tanning accelerators that contain amino acids. These can be applied to the epidermis or they can come in pill form that needs to be swallowed. The primary function of these accelerators is to help the body produce melanin. Melanin is the substance that gives humans their skin color.

There is another substance called canthaxanthin that comes in pill form. This substance has been widely used as a way of making food turn a different color. Some now use it to make their skin become a brownish orange that replicates a tan. This will happen all over the body.

One can get darker looking skin by using the best self tanning products. There are many creams and lotions that carry many good ingredients. One must be careful when going outside, since they do not offer much protection against the real sun.
