Get A Golden Tan By Using Sun Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


For people who struggle with getting a natural tan, sun tanning lotion is a logical alternative. There are several options for tanning without having to lay in the sun. Tanning beds, pills, creams, gels and sprays are all viable options for sunless tanning, but sun tanning lotion seems to be among the most popular alternatives available.

Sun tannin lotion is a highly safe alternative. All lotions on the market have been through FDA evaluation and have been proven safe for human use. One of the primary ingredients in sun tanning lotion is dihydroxyacetone, which is also referred to as DHA. This primary ingredient is created from nothing more than sugar cane.

DHA causes a chemical reaction when it comes in contact with the amino acids left behind by dead skin cells on the body. This chemical reaction is what creates the golden color of a tan. The safety of this chemical reaction is in the fact that it can only penetrate the very top layer of skin so it is not absorbed into the bloodstream.

Sun tanning lotion works well at mimicking that sun bathed look. It won't cause a streaky appearance and there is no dreaded orange tint. Sun tanning lotion goes on easily and dries rapidly. It also provides health benefits to the skin by nourishing and moisturizing it.

There is a wide variety of lotion scents available so even men can use these products. Some version include a skin cooling effect as well. Almost all sun tanning lotions are non-greasy formulas and won't stain any clothing.

Individuals who have issues with sensitive skin should test any lotion on a small area of the body and wait 24 hours to see if a reaction occurs. If a rash does develop, it will be a lot less painful in that small test area than it would be if the entire body was covered. Just because on specific lotion causes a rash does not necessarily mean all sun tanning lotions will.

Sun tanning lotion can be used in the Summer when tans are most desired or even during the Winter to avoid pale skin from a lack of sunshine. A bottle of sun tanning lotion can be tossed in with luggage when going on a trip as well. A few minutes spent in the bathroom is all that is needed to get a golden color so it can be applied no matter where the travel destination is.

The different shades of sun tanning lotion are numerous. This makes finding that right color easy. While most people are looking for a dark color for summer, lighter shades are more popular during colder months. The reason being, a light tan looks more natural during Winter than dark golden shades.

The use of sun tanning lotion is a safe and quick alternative to sun bathing. By limiting exposure to the sun, the risk of skin cancer is greatly reduce. Sun tanning lotion nourishes the skin and leaves it looking healthy and youthful. It is cheaper than some of the other tanning alternatives, such as tanning beds and can provide more immediate results.
