Sunless tanning
Sunless tanning offers consumers a safer way to achieve a tan. Ultra violet damage does not occur when you use sunless tanning products. There are several key points to understand about these products.
• The outermost layer of the epidermis, also called the stratum corneum, is the layer that is affected by most sunless tanning products.
• Sunless tanners are available in sprays, lotions and pills.
• These products require about 45 minutes to start to show up and then about three hours for the end results.
• Sunless tanners are temporary. They last only about five to seven days. Reapplication is necessary to maintain a tan.
• You can choose a deep tropical tan or a light bronzing tone.
• Special care is required to avoid dark spots, such as protecting elbows and knees during application.
• You should exfoliate, but not shave immediately before applying a sunless tanning product.Sunless tanning has come a long way since the original orange-colored sunless lotions hit the market about 30 years ago. There are far more options with varying results. It is helpful to choose one that has received good reviews from a friend.
