It has taken a lot of time, about 10-20 years, but many advances have been realized with sunless tanning products. That’s really great because we’ve all heard so much in recent years about the ill effects of over-exposure to UV lights, sun bathing, and the salons. Discovering a self tanning product that really fits your skin and preferences seems to be the biggest hurdle, though. In this article, we’re discussing effective methods to pick those self tanning products that you’ll like and look the best wearing.
Did you know there are some companies that claim you can get a great tan with the use of pills. We must admit there is an appeal to the idea of getting a great tan so easily. We do feel quite strongly that this could be a hazardous approach to looking good, and it’s not one we’d recommend to anyone. Canthaxanthin is the primary ingredient in these magical tanning pills, but that’s just a food coloring chemical! Two points: first, you have to take a lot of canthaxanthin to color your skin, and secondly there are opinions that this chemical is not safe for consumption (in lower amounts) in food. Self tanning products are considered safe to use, and you put them on instead of eating them.
Before choosing a self tanning product, think about how much you desire your face to be tanned and to what degree. If your face is sensitive to chemicals, then that is something you’ll have to be careful about depending on the particular self tanning brand used. Always be very careful around your eyes, of course, and with heavy application near your eyes the fumes, they are chemicals, may cause slight irritation. If you test a product, and it has a strong aroma to it, then be aware that you’ll likely experience some skin irritation on your face; of course this is a general statement, but we feel it’s an accurate one. There is also a correlation between non-comedogenic sunless skin tanning brands and degree of irritation to the facial skin.
There are a lot of variations, and that includes a kind of product that really isn’t self tanning; however it’s often classified as one. Skin bronzers really are more of a make-up than a self tanning product, but they do give you the “instant” look. You may like the tan that these provide, but just remember that they’re extremely temporary. You cannot get a bronzer tan wet unless you want to lose it; however the genuine self sunless tanners take a little time and will not wash off – they are temporary but last longer than bronzers.
There is a sunless self tanning brand that will work great on your skin, and you’ll be happy with it. By all means do more research, but all that reading will not guarantee anything for you unless you begin experimenting for yourself to see the exact results from one particular brand. Just remember that although reading information is important, nothing can replace actual testing.
