Self-Tanning Spray and Lotions Work Well All Over the Body. Nowadays there are many possibilities to get a tan without sun. One of the possibilities is a tanning bed and a special lamp for tanning that is available in all the beauty centers. These ways of getting a tan are as widespread as popular, because people consider them to be safer than sun exposure.
The rays of tanning beds differentiate from the rays of the sun (tanning beds provide more powerful ultra violet rays exposure). There is a false statement that ultraviolet rays are quite safe for the skin and that the UVB rays are as effective as UVA.
These two types of the rays are dangerous for the skin in an equal measure; especially they are dangerous for people with some illnesses such as diabetes.
UV rays exposure is not the only way of getting a tan. The different sunless tanning products such as tanning sprays and tanning pills can be also used for the purpose.
A "bronzer" is one of the sunless tanning product’s types. Such cosmetic products do not affect your skin; they can only paint the skin in a dark color that can be easily washed away with water. The effect produced by bronzers does not last for a long time.
The most popular and widespread self-tanning products are tanning spray and lotions. The result of a tanning spray appears faster than any other tanning products. Due to the quick effect of a tanning spray special tanning aerosols are applied at beauty salons.
Tanning sprays and tanning lotions are used for self-tanning conducted at home. Tanning products are produced by almost all cosmetic companies.
Tanning sprays and lotions contain a special agent called DiHydroxyAcetone (DHA) that provides a tanning effect. DHA is a sugar that has an ability to oxidize upper layer of skin making it darker. It should be remembered that a tanning spray and tanning lotion take effect quickly, that’s why you should quickly wash your palms several times during the tanning procedure or ask someone to help you during the procedure of tanning.
Special tanning pills can also be effectively used while the procedure of tanning. These pills cannot provide the tanning effect, they only fasten it. These pills include the pigment that colors your skin – such as canthaxanthin, for example. Tanning pills are not completely safe, because pigment colors the whole body including inner organs. The whole body’s coloring is dangerous for health, because self-tanning pills can harm your liver or lead to problems connected with eyesight and even eyesight damage.
Although tanning pills are not completely safe and approved by health organizations, they are bought by many people because of the simplicity in their use and quick effect. It is recommended to consult a doctor before the use of sunless tanning pills.
