What Consumers Should Know About Tanning Products

By Haywood Hunter


Everyone is looking for the best tan. Although it is now known that staying in the sun is harmful to your skin many tanning products are available that one can use to reach the same results without the chance of getting skin cancer. If you were unsure about some of the items there are some things that you should know before choosing a item.

The majority of the items work by getting the top layer of your skin to darken. The skin layer that is changed is contained of dead cells. DHA or dihydroxyacetone is usually the active ingredient that gets your skin to tan. Because the dead cells are constantly being removed you will need to keep using it to keep the effect active.

Protection from the sun is one of the things that it will not do. It does not include a sun block. You should make sure that you also apply this as well to your skin to prevent the sun from doing undue damage that you do not want. Because the chemical will darken the skin you do not want it to affect the other layers as well.

Pills are sold but do not work the same as material applied to the skin. It is taken internally, but it uses an additive that produces the coloration. This can be harmful and damaging not only to the skin but other major organs as well. You cannot know what effect it will do to your body so it is best to avoid these.

If you read the instructions you will find that it gives you a time line for seeing the results. It does not act the same for every person. But the guidelines are twenty four hours to see how it works on your skin.

Tanning products should be noted as to their benefits and complications before using. It will provide you with the tan that you want, but make sure that you use an item that does not have side effects. If you use the items safely and to the instructions you will get the benefits you want.
