General Information Regarding Tanning Supplies

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning involves an assortment of methods that are used to temporarily darken the color of skin. There are so many ways that this can be done. A popular, traditional method is exposing the skin to UV radiation via direct sunlight or artificial sources. These techniques are not recommended, as they can cause serious health issues. As an alternative, many people use the equally effective sunless methods. In any case, numerous tanning supplies may be used during the process.



Sunbathing involves the deliberate exposure of the skin to the direct sunlight. Not a lot of tanning supplies are needed to do this method. Usually people do not apply any product for protection, but instead, use formulas that aid with tanning. An example of this would be certain oils that act as tanning supplies by attracting the sun and helping skin absorb the light. The casual exposure to UV radiation can be good for the body, as it provides a natural source of Vitamin D. However, when exposure is increased, the risk of developing sunburn, cancer or other medical problems goes up.

Tanning might also be done with artificial UV radiation, which is available in tanning beds. Tanning supplies for this method are also minimal and similar to those needed for sunbathing. Usually people apple products that help increase the amount of tan and they lie in tan beds. These devices emit UV radiation through use of multiple fluorescent. The effect is UV rays that are similar to those given off by the sun. These devices are usually costly, which is why many go to professional businesses to have these services done rather than invest in a bed.



An assortment of tanning supplies are employed for sunless methods. These techniques do not require that a person be exposed to UV radiation. Special chemicals are used as ingredients in formulas that temporarily alter the color of the skin.

Tanning supplies come in different forms, for instance: sprays, lotions, makeup, gels, creams. Usually the products are applied directly to the skin. When it comes to application, some other tanning supplies may be necessary, such as: exfoliators, goggles, gloves, towels and brushes. These tan formulas are known to include a lot of chemicals.

Products that are used for this process will range, depending on the technique used. Generally, the supplies that may be needed can be purchased from beauty stores. Professional facilities, such as salons, may buy in bulk from wholesalers. The cost of tanning supplies will differ depending on many factors, including quantity, brand and product type. Most of the supplies can be applied for multiple uses and others may be one-use only.

These products and processes are used to provide a person with a temporary tan. Over time, the tan will fade and eventually be completely gone. Many health professionals urge people to not sunbathe or use techniques involving exposure to UV light. Sunless tanners are artificial alternatives that are less dangerous and provide similar results. However, these sunless methods and products often involve using more tanning supplies.

Numerous tanning supplies can be used to achieve a tan. The products that are applied are often based on the tan technique. Exfoliators, goggles, tan beds, creams, gloves, brushes, oils, lotions, makeup and towels are just some examples of commonly used tanning supplies.
