Components In Best Sunless Suntan Products

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless suntan is a method in which a person gets a darker complexion without exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. There are varieties of products in form of sprays, lotions, creams and gels that may be applied to attain the desired effect. Sunless suntan products are safer, cost effective, and the best alternative to going to tanning salons or sunbathing.



Sunless suntan products were invented after the discovery of the linkage between skin cancer and excessive exposure to UV radiations. The products are used by individuals who desire to achieve a tanned skin but still escape exposure to the sun. This eliminates the risk of getting skin cancer.

Sunless suntan products may be applied at home by experts or those who possess the knowledge to do so. The best way is to be airbrushed professionally possibly in a properly ventilated room as contrasted to spray tan booths. As is normally the situation with all other cosmetic preparations and products, sunless suntan preparations must never get into the eyes, inhaled, or applied under the nails. A flawlessly done airbrushed sunless suntan looks natural and fabulous.



Even application of sunless suntan is crucial especially when one wants to obtain a naturally looking tan. These products usually come with printed labels of the various application methods to help one achieve the best possible results. One may ask for assistance during application in case of inaccessible body parts like the back. Self-application of these products is cheaper as compared to going to salons.

A sunless suntan naturally lasts five to seven days since the skin continuously sloughs off dead skin cells. This is the case despite whether the suntan is being sun-assisted or makeup orientated. A perfect sunless suntan product must have the active constituent known as dihydroxyacetone in its recipe. The name dihydroxyacetone is normally shortened to DHA in most texts.

Dihydroxyacetone refers to a colorless solution naturally derived from glycerin and it functions by reacting with the amino acid in dead cells on the skin. It does not get absorbed into human bodies through skin and contains no known toxic chemicals. Sunscreen creams are still needed to protect the skin from dangerous UV beams from the sun after applying sunless suntan.

Products used in sunless suntan are not manufactured in the same way. This explains why it is important for one to be aware of frequented brands. One should spend sufficient time on research prior to settling on a given brand. Looking fine can be demanding and expensive. One has to access the internet to learn of the different reasonably priced commodities and there availability.

Recent sunless suntan products have new features like better and powerful smells and anti aging benefits. Most sunless suntan products aim at prevailing over flaws like chemical odors after application and runny liquids that make it difficult to attain a uniform tan. They have perfumed smells as opposed to strong chemical odors, which is a major characteristic of previous products. Sunless suntan products offer consumers the option of an instant bronze appearance, which could be washed away using heated water and soap.
