Sunless self tanning lotion is a good commodity for getting bodies glowing with shiny tans within hours or minutes. There are several producers on the market which produce tanning lotions that it becomes difficult to pick a commodity. This gets many buyers into confusion not knowing what to purchase. As such, one should be equipped with some information on sunless self tanning lotion before getting out to purchase it.



To start with, one needs to understand the ingredients that a specific sunless self tanning lotion incorporates in its formula. A list of all components contained in a sunless self tanning lotion is normally written on the container in which the product is packed. One should go through the list before buying to ensure that their skin is not sensitive to any of them.

In fact, a good place to start from before buying a sunless self tanning lotion is making a visit to a personal doctor. The doctor should be able to guide on the kind of sunless self tanning lotion one can use without getting unexpected skin reactions. In case one used a product without consulting a doctor and unexpected reactions occur, it would be best to halt the use of the sunless self tanning lotion and seek medical help immediately.



Some of the main unexpected results people are likely to experience comprise skin allergies, pimples, blackheads, sense of irritation, and rushes. Some of these effects only last shortly and go away whereas others stay. Those that stay need to be checked by a medical physician.

Any sunless self tanning lotion comprises DHA, the abbreviation for dihydroxyacetone, as the main active constituent. DHA is a kind of non-toxic natural sugar. Mostly, it is extracted from beetroots and/or sugarcanes. Most manufacturers apply it in the natural form in most of products. Dihydroxyacetone works efficiently and never results in any known medical problem in the long run. Users who apply lotions which have it are normally satisfied with results and never want to change products.

DHA works on skin layers and does not infiltrate into body systems to damage organs. It interacts with amino acids contained in proteins on skin surfaces to lead to a browning effect. Development of the brown tan is similar to the commercial activity by which foods change their color in storage and processing companies. The skin glows with radiant natural tans after some hours of use.

The major disadvantage however is that the tan never lasts for long since it is only formed on the surface of the body. It fades away after about three days when dead cells slough off. The tan therefore has to be maintained by applying the sunless self tanning lotion everyday or after every two days.

A DHA based sunless self tanning lotion is however not 100 percent safe. Some are made harmful by some additional ingredients that are added into them by the manufacturers in form of tan accelerators, bronzers, tan maintainers, and preservatives. Some of the additions are harmful and require one to pay attention to the list of ingredients in any sunless self tanning lotion before buying.
