The Truth about Tanning Lotion PDF Print E-mail


There is no debate on the fact that long-term exposure to the sun and receiving a sunburn can destroy skin cells and increase the chance of you getting skin caner. Using tanning lotions and sunless tanning lotions can help to get a deep, healthy tan while preventing the harmful effects of the sun on your skin.  

Some people doubt that tanning lotions are actually beneficial and are just a way for tanning lotion suppliers to make money, but it is simply not true. Tanning lotions provide a way to magnify the ultraviolet light that reaches your skin to intensify your tan without adding more unhealthy rays. Therefore you can stay for shorter times in a tanning bed without adding more harmful rays. Tanning lotions also moisturize your skin so it is healthier and younger looking. The healthier your skin is, the longer the tan will stay. They also have other important vitamins and ingredients to extend the tan without adding wrinkles or age spots as the regular sun would do. Tanning bed lotion is specially made for higher intensity ultra violet lights so that it also will help you to avoid sunburn while giving you a deeper and more attractive tan. Fiji tanning solution is considered one of the best tanning bed lotions to help you get past the beach tan and into a more gorgeous tropical tan that everyone craves.  

If you are not a person who feels comfortable with tanning salons then you have another choice in tanning lotions. You can choose to use sunless tanning lotions. They have been proven to be safe and quite effective for those of you unwilling to chance the harmful rays of the sun. The FDA has shown that the active ingredient of Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is safe and promotes a healthy tan. When DHA is applied to the skin, it changes into a sugar which gives the skin a browning reaction that can last anywhere from 1 week to 1 month. Sunless tanning lotions are simple to apply and after only a single application you can see the color change of your skin. There used to be a rather orange appearance to the sunless tanners but recently many top notch companies have come out with some of the best sunless tanning lotions that no longer give this fake appearance. Although, many of the cheap sunless tanning solutions do still give that appearance so you need to be careful about what type of sunless tanning lotion you buy. They do need frequent applications but when it comes to the advantages of not being in the sun, they are an excellent alternative.  

Whether you choose tanning bed tanning lotions or sunless tanning lotion they both go a long way in helping you get the deep bronze than that you desire. Both offer their own individual ingredients and moisturizers that can help your skin stay soft and supple while helping you benefit from less ultra violet rays.
