Most women of today go crazy about tanning. White and fair-skinned women want to get that perfect tan. To get a tanned skin, the most popular thing to do without spending tons of money is to sun-bathe. Though, sun bathing poses harm to the skin because it can cause skin cancer due to the damaging ultravoilet rays from the sun. When these concerns were raised, products that help help a person get a tan without sun-bathing were created. Basically, these products were referred to as sunless tanning products such as bronzers, tanning lotions and sprays.
There are different kinds of products that effectively gives you a natural tanned skin.
- DHA-based products: This is said to be the most effective way to get tanned skin. The chemical in the product produces a reaction with dead skin layer which then results to the browning or tanning of the skin. This does not cause any pigmentation and does not need sun exposure to take effect. The effect of the product can last from 3 to 10 days.
- Tyrosine-based products: Products that contain tyrosine are said to increase the production of melanin that makes the tanning process faster. Though there are no clinical studies to back this up.
- Temporary Bronzers: These products comes in the form of powder, lotion, gels, moisturizers and sprays. The effect of these products can be easily removed with the use of water and soap.
- Other kinds of products to get tanned skin are canthaxanthin-based and melanotan hormone products.
Also, tanning salons is another way to get the tanned skin. These are shops that are setup with tanning beds where you lie down for a specific amount of time. The time you spend on the tanning bed will depend on how tan you want to be. But this option can also pose danger to the health so extra pre-caution must be taken.
