A Review Of Instant Self Tan Products And How They Function

By Haywood Hunter


Instant self tan products are all the rage today. They ensure you get the greatest fake tan in the face of the earth without subjecting yourself to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, or their artificial counterparts from artificial tanning beds. Instant self tan products, or what is simply referred to as sunless tanning products have been in existence for quite some time now ever since the invention of cosmetics back in the 60s.

With technological advancements, these products have evolved to become a safer and effective way of giving an instant self tan effect that is both natural and very realistic. It is no wonder they are the most preferred alternative for fake tan effects than sun bathing and use of tanning beds.

The good news is that the market has a wide range of instant self tan supplies to choose from. Sunless tanning products are generally categorized into two: there are those that are meant for topical application while the other category is meant for swallowing such as tan accelerator and tanning pills. Before delving deeper into instant self tan products, it is important to know what they can, and cannot do.

No doubt instant self tan products will provide the much needed tan effect. What they will not do is to act as a sunscreen and protect your skin against UV rays. This is because the fake tan effect does not come with the melanin that often comes with the "actual" tans. Needless to mention, when going outdoors you need to ensure you wear a sufficient amount of sunscreen to complement your instant self tan and give you the darkened tan effect that you so much desire.

First on the list are cosmetic bronzers. These are instant self tan products that are known to produce instant effects that can be washed off easily using soap and water. They are available in form of creams, powders, and lotions. One thing that should be made clear is that they are more or less a type of make-up, simply because the darken effect only lasts up to when it is washed.

Second on the list of instant self tan products are sunless tanning sprays and lotions. They are undoubtedly the most effective instant self tan products the market has ever had. They contain DHA (Dihydrozyacetone) as one of the top ingredients. This list also contains sunless tanning products such as creams and mists, all which contain this active ingredient.

DHA combines with dead skin cells found on the epidermis to form a darkened effect that is natural and even. The interaction between the DHA ingredient and the dead skin cells will form an instant color change which lasts between seven and ten days upon application.

One question asked by most people who are using instant self tan products is why the tans fade as fast. Basically, the skin undergoes so much wear and tear in a natural process of self regeneration. During this regeneration process, the upper skin layer is completely replaced with new fresh skin layers. That is why it is recommended that one re-applies instant self tan products after every few days so as to maintain the tan effect.
