What You Have To Know Before Obtaining A Bottle Of The Sun Tan Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It can be very exciting to purchase a bottle of tanner at the supermarket or online and try indoor tanning for the first time. Before you do so, it's a good idea to know more about the product you are intending to get. One very popular option you have out there is the Sun tan lotion. Read on to learn a few important things about this product before you buy it.

The chemical it contains called DHA is the one responsible for making your skin dark even without exposing it to the sun. Ending up with irritated skin should be the least of your worries because it is extracted from nature and it's basically just a form of sugar. When applied, DHA undergoes a chemical reaction with your dead skin cells, darkening them in about 3 hours.

Despite of this, you will notice an instant change in complexion the moment you rub on the lotion. This is made possible by the added tinting ingredient. The golden-brown stain created also helps you attain a smoother and more realistic outcome as it can serve as your application guide. With instant result, you can immediately enjoy a boost in beauty and confidence.

The color brought about by the bronzing ingredient washes off easily with water. It only means that taking a shower or doing activities that leave you sweaty has to be avoided. Sweating may also leave your clothes stained. It's because of this why it is a good idea for you to wear dark clothes after applying the tanner all over your body to avoid such problem.

It's important for the UV-free tanning solution to stay on your skin for 6 to 8 hours after the initial application. This gives the DHA in the product plenty of time to be absorbed by the skin's topmost layer. During this time, you may notice a fishy odor coming from your skin. This is something normal and is observed by everyone using a sunless tanner containing DHA.

The most intense color that DHA can give you shows up after 24 to 72 hours had passed. The intensity will greatly depend on the variant of tanner you applied. Dark, medium dark and ultra dark shades are the ones currently being offered by Sun Laboratories. The manufacturer says that you should opt for a shade close to your normal skin tone for a realistic result.

In a span of about a week, the color highly similar to a suntan gradually disappears. It's something that cannot be avoided because the skin is constantly replaced by your body. However, delaying the natural process of exfoliation is possible. All you need to do is apply your favorite hand and body moisturizer or the manufacture's tan extender on a regular basis.

Prior to the application of the UV-free tanner, you have to prepare the skin for it. You should hit the shower and exfoliate in order to remove dirt as well as excess dead skin cells. Shaving also has to be done to keep unwanted hair strands from giving the skin a mottled look. Certainly, applying the lotion according to the manufacturer's direction is very important.
