Sun Tan Lotion Makes You More Attractive

By Haywood Hunter


Being tanned really makes you more attractive and more confident. The fact is that skin looks better, firmer and shinier. The whole body appears slimmer and tighter, and all small irregularities seem to disappear. You can get tanned on the beach, in sunless tanning salons or using different sunless tanning products. Sun tan lotion comes in several variations, you just have to choose your favorite one.

Some products are designed to provide bronze tan without exposing your skin to the sun. Such products contain DHA, based on natural sugar. DHA reacts with amino acids in most outer skin layer, basically with dead skin cells. The product of this reaction is bronze tan that lasts for about one week, depending on the product. Using special moisturizers may prolong this time.

Sunless tanners can be applied professionally, in tanning salons, using tanning booths or high quality airbrush guns. In both cases the result is beautifully tanned, smooth and impeccable tan. Airbrush is simply the best, but you will spend less if you do this in your own bath. Make sure to find someone to help you apply your lotion on your back, it might be tricky thing to do.

DHA will create bronze tan, but it won't create any protective layer, unless your product contains UVA filters. Natural tan provides certain level of protection, but you should still wear appropriate sunblock. The same thing is with your fake tan. Even if your lotion is designed to provide particular level of protection, make sure to apply the sunblock before exposing your skin to direct sunlight.

Different lotions may contain bronzers as well. Some are designed to intensify natural bronzing process. It means that your skin will tan more easily, and that it will become darker in shorter period of time. These types of lotions usually contain UVA protection. Special bronzers can be used to make your tan more appealing. If you apply them on your cheeks and shoulders, you can make your fake tan looking more natural.

Overnight lotions take a few hours to develop the color. They should be applied in the evening. After you take your shower the next morning, you will be perfectly tanned. Make sure to use good quality moisturizers. The color will fade gradually, and you can apply another layer when you think it is needed. You have to ex foliate before applying it.

When you need to get tanned right away, use one good quality instant tanner. Some are washable, and some will provide lovely shade that lasts for a few days. They can be combined with bronzers, for even more attractive results. If you have damaged or especially dry skin on your heels and elbows, pay special attention to these areas. Wipe away all excessive paint from them, and in more serious cases, mix the lotion with a little bit of moisturizer.

There are so many sunless tanning products on the market today that you will certainly find something interesting. The fact is that you don't have to buy really expensive ones to be more than satisfied with your results. You can also combine different products to suit your particular needs. If nothing else, use a sunless tanner to become tanned before your holiday.
