Using Sunless Suntan Topical Solutions For Darker Complexion

By Haywood Hunter


It's possible to enjoy a darker and lovelier complexion without exposing one's self to UV rays. There are plenty of Sunless Suntan products that are applied on the skin, in the form of sprays, lotion, creams or gels. Capable of providing realistic results, a lot of people consider these alternatives as safer than sunbathing and cheaper than stepping foot in a tanning salon.

The popularity of Sunless Suntan products started when researches linked excessive exposure to harmful UV rays to skin cancer. Since then, many topical alternatives to sunbathing were introduced, and they were received very well by consumers. Up until now, these solutions are preferred by those avoiding the risks involved with too much sun exposure.

The active ingredient found in many of these Sunless Suntan items is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This colorless kind of sugar is FDA approved for use on human skin. Upon contact with dead cells of the skin, DHA begins to darken within an hour. The darkest color may be observed about 24 hours after the application of a product containing this chemical.

Bathing or showering is perfectly fine as the color cannot be washed off with water. Gradual disappearance of the resulting tan happens because dead skin cells naturally slough off. A lot of manufacturers of topically applied Sunless Suntan solutions say that the effect may last anywhere from 5 to 7 days. There are different shades available, ranging from light to very dark.

When going for a Sunless Suntan, it's important that the product is applied evenly. Careful application allows for a more natural outcome. Manufacturers often provide consumers with several techniques to achieve a desirable result. Some people prefer Sunless Suntan items in the form of lotions, creams or gels as they may be easily applied all over the body. Others like sprays better. For areas of the body that are hard to reach and see like the back, a relative or friend may lend a hand during the application.

Using tanning beds are not that entirely safe, according to some experts. The lamps they employ give off pretty much the same type of radiation that comes from the sun. What's more, not all people have access to a tanning salon. Besides, even if there is an establishment in the area, the application of a Sunless Suntan item at home is more practical. You can come up with professional quality results with practice.

Aside from avoiding the risks of too much exposure to UV rays, many are going for a Sunless Suntan for practicality reasons. The application of Sunless Suntan products is cheaper than going to a salon. Especially if you want to maintain a desirable complexion, you will find that looking really good can be quite expensive. Logging on the internet allows you to come across a wide variety of affordably priced brands.

Speaking of brands, Sunless Suntan products are not the same. Devote some time to finding out which ones people are using. See what brand is highly recommended by a relative or friend who gave up sunbathing in exchange for safer alternatives. It's a good idea to do some researches most especially if you are a newbie in using a topically applied solution.
