In the 60s health authorities announced that exposure to UV rays from the sun can cause skin cancer, and since then many people have turned to fake tans. Early tanning lotions had mixed results, that often produced a tan that looked too orange. New technology have now produce self tanners that make the skin look exactly as if it has been tanned by the sun. Giesee Sun Self Tanning Lotion is among the best tanners available, and it provides extremely natural looking results.

The best self tanning lotions contain a chemical called dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA. This is a natural chemical that is found in sugar cane. It is harmless, although the FDA recommends that self tanners contain less than 14 percent DHA.

DHA darkens the surface layers of the skin by causing a chemical reaction. It does not alter skin pigmentation or stain the skin in any way. As the out layer of the skin contains dead skin cells that react with DHA is it important to exfoliate before applying self tanning lotions. This will help the tan stay even as older cells will come off. Exfoliating ensures that all cells are the same age.

DHA reacts with the dead cells and the surface of the skin in covered in these cells. However, some cells are older than others and will come off sooner. Therefore it is important to exfoliate all over the body. This way the tan will remain even throughout the life of the tan. Moisturising the skin after exfoliating will help the tan to last longer, as moisturising slows down the removal of dead cells.

Regular users of self tanners should exfoliate at least once between each tanning session. This way tans will last longer and will look nice, smooth and even. Just like you live in the tropics!

Self tanners are easy to apply. DHA does not stain the skin or alter skin pigments in any way, it also will not stain clothing although most people prefer to be naked when applying the tanner. It also will not damage the hair so a shower cap is not necessary. After the tanner has been applied it is fine to towel dry right away, this will not stain the towel or remove any of the tanner.

Avoiding physical exercise and showering is recommended for at least 4 hours after applying tan lotions. This is because sweat and hot water may compromise the lotion's effectiveness and produce an uneven tan. The tan should appear in full the following morning, but some people with certain skin types may have to wait a little longer. Giesee self tanners are fine for anyone with sensitive skin, although those with certain skin conditions should consult their doctor before applying a self tan lotion.

Self tanner products are usually offered as sprays, lotions or creams. Sprays tend to work better and produce a more even result. Giesee tanner products come in spray form that is easy and quick to apply. People who use tanners on a regular basis will save money by buying in large quantities. Carry out a search on the internet for Giesee Sun Self Tanning Lotion and find yourself an excellent deal with an online retailer.
