By Haywood Hunter


Aside from going to beauty salons, those who like to sport a fake suntan may simply purchase at-home tanning products. There are so many solutions to choose from these days. The choice basically depends on the user's personal preference.

A lot of fake suntan fanatics love the lotion varieties. This is due to the simple fact that using them is trouble-free. You will find UV-free lotions favorable especially if you are accustomed to applying hand and body moisturizers daily. Most manufacturers also add tints that stain your skin right away, making the application less complicated.

Lotions are available in both large and small bottles. The ones in large containers are perfect to have at home, suited for people who like to give their entire body a sun-kissed glow. On the other hand, lotions found in small bottles may be taken easily from place to place, allowing the consumers to keep the tan in certain areas of the body deep during their travels.

Creams or gels are just as popular as the lotion varieties. Their very thick consistency makes them a delight to apply. One of the reasons for their richness is the addition of moisturizing ingredients. Most of the sunless tan creams or gels are created exclusively for the face. Usually, they contain other components that help ward off and even reverse various premature aging signs such as fine lines, wrinkles and liver spots. Some of these ingredients are antioxidants, vitamins and sunscreens.

So many fake suntan fanatics love to use sprays. Often, these products come in aerosol cans in order to deliver the solution within in the form of fine mist. Having the solution applied onto the skin in this manner allows for an even coverage that results in a realistic outcome. Opting for sprays is ideal for people who like to end up with the same effect as airbrushing.

Aside from the ones being sold in cans, spraying may also be done with the use of at-home airbrushing kits. This requires the consumers to purchase airbrushes as well as the solution dispensed by these handheld tools. Especially with constant practice, relying on at-home airbrushing kits allows the users to enjoy a fake suntan that looks like it was obtained at a salon.

Foams are also being offered by so many manufacturers these days. By mixing the solution inside with air bubbles, a very thick consistency is obtained. This richness makes it very easy for the consumers to evenly apply the indoor tanner all over.

The wipes are perhaps the simplest types of UV-free tanners to use. Opting for them is ideal if you like to tan only small areas of the body such as your face, neck, arms and legs. If you have tried using moist towelettes for babies, you will surely find applying wipes very easy. They are soaked in a solution capable of giving your skin a fake sun-kissed glow.

No matter the type, at-home tanners rely on the active ingredient called DHA. It's derived from sugar cane and is capable of browning the skin's topmost layer. The effect of DHA usually lasts for a week, gradually fading as the skin sloughs off.
