Certain Stuff To Learn About Sunless Tan Sprays

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning is very popular nowadays, as it allows people having a light color skin and not only, to obtain a beautiful bronze color. This can be done during a vacation on the beach, but also in the intimacy of a home or in a cosmetic saloon. A faster alternative to sun exposure is the use of sunless tan sprays. These are able to offer the same bronze color, without risking that the UV rays are damaging the skin. An example from this category of products is the tan sprays.

Sunless tan sprays are offering an immediate effect. For example these are ideal to get a beautiful natural skin, when deciding to wear a backless dress at a special event. At the same time, tan sprays are perfect to maintain the vacation bronze for the entire year. Being very easy to use, the tan sprays can be applied by anyone at home, every time needed.

Using a tan spray instead of a sunless tanning lotion can bring some advantages. The first one is the uniform coverage, with no-rub application. This can be easily used by anyone at home, even for the hard to reach places, as the back or example. A tan spray usually dries in maximum 5 minutes, will not clog pores, oil free and usually available in medium or deep tint.

The way tan sprays work is interacting with the natural chemistry of the skin. Sunless tanning products are continuing to become more popular, due to damaging effects that the sun can have on the skin, and the increased cancer risk. There are many celebrities using tan sprays, many of them own their own tan spray machine, and are using the help of assistants to get tanned.

Researchers from the American Academy of Dermatology are sustaining that the active ingredient responsible for the tanning effect from tan sprays is the dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The substance is a derivate of glycerin that increases the melanin production. Melanin is the substance responsible for the darkening of skin's cells.

DHA does not have a toxic effect, at this interacts only with the skin's dead cells. As these cells are being removed from the skin's surface regularly, the effect of the spray will not last more than five or seven days. German researchers are those that have discovered DHA in late 1920, and the use of this ingredient in the cosmetic industry started more than 30 years ago.

DHA substance is encountered in the composition of many sunless tan sprays, including lotions, oils and sprays. The products containing DHA are restricted only for external use. Therefore these are not recommended for lips area and on other surfaces covered by a mucous membrane. The area around eyes is another region that requires a special care; here the application of products containing color additive is also not recommended.

Sunless tanning products are the perfect solution to obtain a natural and smooth tan. But people using these products should know that these sprays are offering no protection against UVA rays. Therefore when exposing to sun, tan sprays have to be replaced with specific sunscreen products.
