Certain Stuff To Learn About Sunless Tan Sprays

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning is very popular nowadays, as it allows people having a light color skin and not only, to obtain a beautiful bronze color. This can be done during a vacation on the beach, but also in the intimacy of a home or in a cosmetic saloon. A faster alternative to sun exposure is the use of sunless tan sprays. These are able to offer the same bronze color, without risking that the UV rays are damaging the skin. An example from this category of products is the tan sprays.

With sunless tan sprays the result can be obtained instantly. This makes the product ideal for those interested to expose a natural tan color during all seasons of the year. Tan spray is a best solution to obtain a natural and uniform bronze color. The big advantage is that these types of tan sprays can be easily used at home to tan the skin or just to maintain the color obtained in a professional saloon.

Using a tan spray instead of a sunless tanning lotion can bring some advantages. The first one is the uniform coverage, with no-rub application. This can be easily used by anyone at home, even for the hard to reach places, as the back or example. A tan spray usually dries in maximum 5 minutes, will not clog pores, oil free and usually available in medium or deep tint.

The ingredients from the composition of the tan spray are interacting directly with the skin's surface. This way a beautiful and uniform bronze color can be obtained, without spending hours lying out in the sun. Many celebrities are using these products at home, from the simple sprays to complex spraying machines that can be used with the help of trained assistants.

Studies performed by the American Academy of Dermatology are showing that the most efficient tan sprays are those containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as main ingredient. This substance is a glycerin derivate and acts by interacting with the surface layer of the skin. This interaction leads to the stimulation of melanin production, known as being responsible for the brown color of the skin.

As DHA is interacting with the dead cells from the skin's surface, there is no risk of toxicity. The effect of sunless tan sprays usually lasts not more than few days; this because the dead cells are removed from our skin regularly. Therefore a lasting effect can be guaranteed only by a regular use. DHA was discovered for the first time in 1920 in Germany, and for more than 30 years in used in the cosmetic industry.

The use of DHA in the chemical composition of cosmetics, including tan sprays, restricts their use only for external application. For this reason all sunless tan sprays should be used only for the external body parts; lips or other surfaces covered by a mucous membrane should be avoided. For other sensitive areas, as for example around the eye, these products should not contain color additive, unless this is specifically permitted for this use.

A perfect and natural bronze can be easily obtained with the help of a sunless tanning product. It is important to know that these are not having the capacity to protect the skin against the damaging action of direct sun exposure. For this reason tan sprays should never be used as substitutes of sunscreen products.
