Pinpointing The Best Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Tanned skin has been an undying trend especially among the white people. The skin is considered to be more beautiful if the skin is a few shades darker than its original color. This can be done very easily by busking in the sun and the skin will generate more melanin therefore leading to the darkening of skin. During the seasons that there is no sun, these people do not have to stay with the untanned skin. They can easily purchase the best self tanner and the following is a guideline on how they can choose these products.

Scientists have done a lot of study for a long time and they managed to invent the self-tanning lotions that are very effective. These tanners are manufactured with the best and most lavish ingredients that definitely work to give the users the most natural looking tanned complexion. These lotions may also have additional benefits like moisturizing of skin and giving it a beautiful look.

The challenge comes in when the users are looking to find the good tanners. There are very many sunless tanners manufactured in the world and all the manufacturers claim that their products are of good value. They are usually manufactured in many forms such as lotions, creams, gels, milks, sprays or even pills. They can easily be acquired from drugstores, salons or online. But how can a user identify which is the best tanner?


Beauty specialists have been looking into these products for some time so as to figure out which are the best to use. They have done scientific study on them, looked at reviews by previous users and the industry experts and even looked at the sales figures of different tanning products. A good tanner is one whose smell is good, stays longer on skin and has less drying time. It also leads to an even color on the membrane.

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.
