How To Choose A Good Tanning Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


Finding the best tanning lotion depends on skin tone. However, tan results depend on the process, which can be quick or gradual. The best tanning lotion involves finding a product for the individual's specific skin type and protects against the sun rays. Another thing is using a cream with a quick and easy application process.

The best tanning lotions are composed of the ingredient known as dihydroxyacetate (DHA). The ingredient is basically a sugar available in a lot of skin products. It can also cause a chemical reaction after being applied to the skin. The chemical process makes the outer skin layer, which is called stratum corneum to slowly darken.

If you have light skin, then a product with less dihydroxyacetate is an excellent choice. Making the wrong choice can result in an unnatural tan for your complexion. Also, there is the possibility of the complexion turning orange. If you want a dark tan, then you use a cream that has a lot of DHA. These types of self-tanners are a good choice for darker skin tones.

The options for skin darkening are gradual or dramatic when choosing a cream. Self-tanners can produce natural results and must be used daily. It can take seven days before seeing any progress. There are a variety of lotions on the market for bed tanning that can provide quick results.

Skin type is something to consider when darkening the complexion. Certain products are designed for dry, normal and sensitive skin. People with naturally dry skin need to use one with moisturizing properties. Selecting the best tanning lotion is important for preventing skin irritation.

Most people end up with the wrong results because of not following directions when finding the best tanning lotion. It helps to read and follow the instructions on the bottle. For instance, the lotion may require the users to wait before getting on the bed or dress. The best tanning lotion is designed specifically for your skin type.
