Self Tanning And Fake Tan : The Innumerable Methods

By Haywood Hunter


Self tanning is a convenient way of giving the skin a darker shade. There are many different ways to self tan and for the most part, all of these methods work. Some of them are even highly preferred over tanning in the sun. This is because some of these self tanning methods used are lot easier to access and safer than the sun.

Many methods of self tanning exists but the employed include: pills, air brushing, lotions and tanning beds. These methods are not all considered as safe. In fact some of them are not approved by any medical practitioner, nor are they considered safer for general use than the sun. Of all the self tanning methods mentioned above; lotions and air brushing rank as the safest while pills and tanning beds rank as the least safe. To make the best choice in a self tanning method or agent, use the details below to make the most suitable choice for you.

Lotions: these come in the form of bronzers or gradual skin darkeners. The bronzers add a light temporary film over the skin, while the lotions penetrate the epidermis. They stimulate the increased secretion of melanin in the epidermis of the skin and thus cause darkening.

Pills: just like some lotions, these cause an increase of melanin production in the epidermis. The way that they do this is not exactly clear and thus many doctors are skeptics on the safety of this particular method. Self tanning pills are also not an approved FDA product and thus consumers should beware of their possible side effects.

Air Brushing: this is a way to get an even tan. It involves having a tanning lotion of formula air brushed unto the skin. The air brushing method gives it an even and smooth look. This like the bronzer is a harmless and much preferred self tanning agent.

Tanning beds: these are the most unsafe to use for self tanning. They cause the emission of ultra violet rays much like the sun and thus are just as unsafe. Many people hence do not recommend their use.

A myriad of self tanning methods exist. It is however the responsibility of the customer to find out their positive and negative effects of all the self tanning agents and methods they want to use. Only choose the ones that will not compromise your health. They will work just as well as those that do.
