The Advantages Of A Quality Self Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Self tanning lotion has been used as opposed to sun tanning for years now. This fact is well known. Since it was first introduced the formula has been changed many times. You will find a wide range of prices. There are an endless number of brands and various formulas.

German scientists came across the skin coloring effects of DHA purely by accident when some was spilled. They saw that it colored the skin brown. DHA is a main ingredient in sunless tanning lotion. It is composed of tiny white crystals. These crystals attract water molecules. This discovery was made back in the 1920's.

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.

Today there are so many other options. Aerosol sprays, air brushing, permanent tattooing, and even injections are more recent methods that people are using. Still, lotions may have moisturizing qualities that these other options just do not offer. Having a darker complexion is obviously important to a number of naturally fair skinned individuals.

Historically tanned skin was frowned upon as it was associated with a lower working class. Today, that is far from being the case. This is a huge market and highly profitable for suppliers. Fair skinned women are at the top of the list of consumers. But both women and men use tanning lotions. Whether it is to appear much darker or to just even out the skin tone, consumers want to be tan.

Today people having fair skin are not the only users of these products. Some who are already tan or dark by nature, have a desires to appear even darker than they already are. More and more frequently women of color are also tanning. A more even complexion is one reason for this. And the bronze color in some of these lotions offer a glowing enhancement to their skin which already has an exotic appearance.

Using a lotion containing DHA is said to be safe when used externally and applied as directed. Even women who are pregnant can use it without fear of harming their unborn child. It is clear that using it is much safer than sun exposure. The only safety concerns would be if the product were to get into the eyes, nose, or throat somehow, or if one has an allergic reaction to it.

It is good that this option is available for tanning oneself. Some brands have better ratings than others. Reviews can be found online. Do your research and you should easily find a self tanning lotion that will work well for you.
