Different Types Of Spray Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


There is probably nothing more to say about different risks related to sunbathing. It causes all kinds of allergies, skin burns and even cancer. It takes forever to achieve the desired deep tan if you take all precautions, and some people still cannot get bronze anyway. So, if you are interested in becoming tanned, and you most certainly are, the best solution is to use sunless tan products. You can choose among different creams, foams and spray tanning lotions.

Creams, foams, gels and spray tanning lotions designed for this purpose can be simply used in your home. If you buy a set, you will also get a moisturizer and an exfoliating gel. Spray tanning lotions are especially convenient if you buy them in those handy sets. They are easy to use, and available in several different shades.

People still prefer to be treated by a real professional. Sunless tan providing salons offer two different methods of application. Spray tanning lotions can be applied in special tanning booths, automatically. The other method includes the presence of a technician. He uses airbrush for applying spray tanning lotions on your entire body.

Booths are very good solutions for shy people. In any case, this way you can have all-over tan simply and easily, without streaks and without white areas. Professionally applied spray tanning lotions provide even more amazing results. Airbrush technology uses especially fine mist for applying the product, and final results really are impeccable. It takes a little bit longer, but you won't be sorry.

It doesn't matter which method you choose, as long as your skin is properly prepared for the treatment with spray tanning lotions. Shaving just before going there is not a good idea. Resulting color might have spots in this case. It is much better to shave at least a day or two before that, to give your skin a chance to heal.

Every good sunless tan product is based on DHA, or dihydroxyacetone. This active compound is sugar-based, and it reacts with amino acids in the most outer skin layer. The product of this reaction is your desired bronze skin, and the intensity depends mostly on DHA concentration and added color enhancers. DHA alone needs time to develop deep shades, and color enhancers are added to speed up the process.

Because DHA reacts with only outer skin layer, you need to exfoliate before applying spray tanning lotions. This will remove all dead skin cells, and your color will last longer once applied. Besides, exfoliated skin is smooth and guarantees better final results. Pay special attention to dry areas, especially your heels and elbows. Dry areas may soak too much color and become darker.

Using good moisturizers is always advisable, not only before applying spray tanning lotions. Avoid using any chemical products before the treatment. You shouldn't wear your deodorant either, because it could cause strange reactions. If you aren't sure about the shade different spray tanning lotions provide, consult an expert. Your new, exciting color will enhance your natural beauty, and you should enjoy it all year round.
