Getting Beautiful Results From Dark Self Tan Products

By Haywood Hunter


Ever since 1960s health authorities announced that exposure to the sun causes health problems, self tanning products have become more and more popular. Over the years products have got better and better and now it is possible to enjoy a long lasting and natural looking tan without any exposure to the sun or visit to a solarium. Technology has now produced dark self tan solutions, that create a natural yet deeper and dark self tan for those who want it. There are plenty of tanning products available now, including normal color tanners and dark self tan lotions.

The best self tanning solutions contain a chemical called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a natural chemical that is found in sugar cane and sugar beet. It works by reacting to the top layer of the skin and makes it darker in a similar way to the sun. Dark self tan products use a higher level of DHA, although the amount should never exceed 14% as set by the FDA.

Tanning solutions do not stain clothes or hair. Most lotions will have a mild starchy odor after application but this goes away after a few hours. Most people prefer to be naked well applying self tanner, although many like to cover there hair with a shower cap in case the tanner ruins their hair-style.

Before applying a spray tan it is very important to exfoliate the skin. This is because the DHA reacts with the outer layer of the skin, which is in fact dead. Some cells are older than others and are due to come off so if these are not removed the tan with look patchy and unnatural. There are many excellent exfoliating scrubs available that will leave your skin smooth and perfect for apply self tanning sprays.

It is also a good idea to moisturize the skin all over the body. This slows down the body's shedding of dead skin cells, and will make the tan last longer. A tan fades due to the skin being replaced over time. Moisturizing slows down this process and so a tan can last for over 10 days before another tanning spray is needed.

A good quality dark self tan will last for as long as 10 days, if the skin has been exfoliated and moisturized. The lotion can then be reapplied. Regular use of dark self tan lotion will not harm the skin and will let you enjoy tanned skin all year long.

Once the self tanner has been applied the result can be enjoyed the following morning, although for some sin days it may take an extra day. The tan will begin to appear after just a few hours. Using a good quality dark self tan product regularly will give you a fantastic all over tan throughout the year, just remember to exfoliate and moisturize regularly to obtain the best results.

Avoiding exercise and washing for approximately four hours after applying dark self tan spray is very important, sweat and water will make some of the lotion run off. Do a search online for dark self tan products and pick up a bargain. If you want to use a dark self tan regularly then you maybe able to find a deal on a years supply and save yourself a nice bit of cash. You can also find high quality exfoliating scrubs and moisturizers at affordable prices at online stores.
