Achieve A Golden Tan Using Sunless Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


You can look slimmer with a nice tan. There are many benefits to having a suntan, including, hiding skin imperfections, looking younger, and it naturally slims you down. This article will address the benefits of Sunless Tanning Lotion.



Since the 1960s, lotions that can darken your skin have become more and more popular due to the growing concern over possible links to skin cancer and tanning beds. There are a variety of products including creams that you can use to achieve a golden tan without the harmful effects of UV rays on your skin. These tanners will not protect you from the sun, though, so you will still need to apply sunblock every time you go out into the sun.

The active ingredient in sunless tanning lotions is dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. This chemical causes a reaction on dead skin cells, making the skin change a few shades darker. Some lotions also combine erythrulose with DHA to get a tan that can even last longer.



Sunless tanning lotion can be applied in the form of gels, lotions, mousses, sprays, and even wipes. It is best to clean and completely exfoliate the skin before applying these products. You should avoid bathing and swimming for a few hours or until the product is completely absorbed into the skin. Take extra care around thicker areas of the skin such as on the hands and feet, as more DHA is absorbed onto those parts of the skin.

Keep in mind that while these lotions can make your skin darker in appearance, they offer no protection from the sun. They do not contain a sunscreen and you can develop a sunburn after spending time in the sun if you are not wearing sunscreen. The tan that develops is for cosmetic purposes only and will not add extra protection while in the sun.

A good Sunless Tanning Lotion can provide a nice, deep tan without any sun risk factors. You don't have to worry about wrinkles or sun damage from the product. Imagine having a nice, golden tan, all year round. This type of product is a great way to look tan without having to pay for a membership or spend hours in the sun. Imagine being tan anytime you want. Now you can have that golden glow all year long.
