What You Have To Know Before Purchasing A Bottle Of The Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It can be very exciting to purchase a bottle of tanner at the supermarket or online and try indoor tanning for the first time. Before you do so, it's a good idea to know more about the product you are intending to get. One very popular option you have out there is the Sun tan lotion. Read on to learn a few important things about this product before you buy it.

The chemical it contains called DHA is the one responsible for making your skin dark even without exposing it to the sun. Ending up with irritated skin should be the least of your worries because it is extracted from nature and it's basically just a form of sugar. When applied, DHA undergoes a chemical reaction with your dead skin cells, darkening them in about 3 hours.

However, you will notice an instant change in skin tone upon application of the product. That's because it also contains a bronzing ingredient that stains the skin. It also helps you see where you have already applied the lotion to attain a smooth outcome. Due to its presence, you don't have to wait for DHA to create the color it is capable of producing.

Do take note that the stain left behind by the tinting ingredient can be erased upon contact with water. To keep it around, avoid showering or doing physical activities that make you end up sweaty. Speaking of which, sweating can leave light-colored clothes stained. That is why you should opt for dark-colored clothes especially right after applying the indoor tanner.

The UV-free tanner should be allowed to stay on the skin for the next 6-8 hours. This should give DHA plenty of time to be absorbed by your skin and carry out its job. Certainly, you will notice a slight fishy odor given off by your skin. Fret not about this because it's something that is experienced by all sunless tanning fanatics that rely on DHA-based tanning items.

The richest color that DHA can generate comes into view only after 24-72 hours from the initial application of the tanner. How deep the hue is will depend on the product's shade intensity. Sun Laboratories is offering ultra dark, medium dark and dark lotions. In order to enjoy a realistic fake tan, it's a good idea to choose a shade that is very close to your complexion.

In a span of about a week, the color highly similar to a suntan gradually disappears. It's something that cannot be avoided because the skin is constantly replaced by your body. However, delaying the natural process of exfoliation is possible. All you need to do is apply your favorite hand and body moisturizer or the manufacture's tan extender on a regular basis.

Preparing the skin for the tanner's application is very important. Before you get started, take a shower and exfoliate to remove dirt as well as too much dead skin cells. Shaving has to be done also in order to prevent ending up with a mottled color. See to it that you have carefully read the manufacturer's directions for use for the most impressive outcome.
