Best Self Tanner And Their Effects

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.

Finding good tanners can be a challenge at times. There are very many self tanning that are available in the world and all of them claim to be the best. They usually come in form of creams, lotions, gels, sprays or even milks. They can be bought online, tanning salons, drugstores and other sources. But how can someone easily find the tanner that is best for them?

Beauty experts have done extensive research in different ways so that they can come up with the best tanners. They have spoken with the industry experts, checked out the sales figures and also monitored the opinions of consumers. Some of these products can even be tested using a selection of criteria. Some of the factors considered are the smell, color, the drying time and the period of time they last.

Self-tanning has been available since the invention of cosmetics. The first tanning lotion was introduced in 1960 by Coppertone and it effected in a somehow orange look on the outside. Today the sunless tanning products create a much more realistic look on membrane within a short period of time. Some may work immediately they are applied while others take up to 45 minutes before the full results can be witnessed.

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.

Sunless tanning done on the outside by applying the products on the skin works because of the chemical reaction between dehydroacetone denoted as DHA that is present in the products and the dead cells on the dermal layer of skin. This reaction causes a color change thus the tan look is achieved. The internal products such as pills however contain some chemical products that work in the inside to change skin color.

Using these products may be dangerous sometimes especially the oral ones. They may cause some health problems like hepatitis and may also affect the retina by formation of yellow deposits in the eye. They also have effects on some of the internal structures such as the liver.
