The Advantages Of A Nice Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Most people know that self tanning lotion has been the product used to get a safer tan for many years. The formulas used have changed quite a bit. There are an endless number of formulas and different brands. The price range is broad as well.



German scientist found out that the white powder known as DHA would color the skin brown when they spilled some it. DHA is made up of fine white crystals. It is a powder that will attract molecules of water from it's environment. It is the main ingredient that is used in making tanning lotion.

The first product used for overnight tanning was introduced by a major maker of tanning products. A new way to tan was born. Other companies began making and selling their own formulas. None of these early self tanners worked very well.

The orange color and streaks left much to be desired. Since then, however, the advances are many. Even today, not all of these lotions work very well. And the ones that do can be a little more expensive. But mainly, consider the amount of DHA contained in the lotion as higher levels offer a darker tan.

More recently, one has an array of other options. Air brushing, spray tanning, injections and even permanent tattoos are being used more and more frequently. However, these methods don't offer the moisturizing effects that lotions do. Many people who have naturally fair skin feel that having darker skin is really important to their appearance.

In earlier times, skin that was tan was not acceptable because of it's association with being from a lower working class. This is not at all the case today. There is a huge market and suppliers find that their products produce high profits. The largest number of users of self tanners are fair skinned women. However, both men and women find them useful. Whether to have a more even skin tone or to appear a lot darker, a tan is desired by many.

In recent years, those with fair skin have not been the only ones using self tanners. There are those who already have tan or dark toned skin who desire to be even darker. Women of color are now tanning. Those who do use these products enjoy the benefits of a more even complexion. And if the lotion contains shimmer, the golden effect is a welcome enhancement to their already exotic appearance.

DHA is considered safe. Women who are pregnant are able to use self tanner without worrying about harmful effects to their babies. It is certainly safer than lying out in the sun and exposure to harmful rays. Some people rarely have an allergic reaction of the skin. Other than that, the only concern as far a safety would be to avoid the throat, nose, and eyes.

The option of using a lotion for tanning can be a benefit as far as budget is concerned. Research your options and check out any online reviews that you find. See what brand is rated best. It should not be difficult to find a good self tanning lotion.
