Look Your Best With Sun Lab

By Haywood Hunter


Sun Lab produces solutions to help people maintain tanned, healthy looking bodies without exposure to the UV rays of daylight that are so dangerous to the skin. They produce products such as sunscreens and self-tanning solutions that come in various forms such as sprays, creams, lotions and gels. People when purchasing the product can choose how dark they want to be and will buy the appropriate product for that effect.

As tanned skin is an aspect to socially acceptable beauty, other means of tanning one's skin have been developed. These products help people to tan their skin without the dangers of UVA and UVB rays. There are many different products that can be used to darken the skin.

One can use gels, creams or sprays to get a great looking tan. Bronzers which are a type of cosmetic and can be applied to give the same effect. Using a bronzer application is a temporary solution. Other self-tanning solutions which are more permanent that contain chemicals such as DHA and Erythrulose can also be applied.

Some spas have facilities that such as sun-booths where tanning products are sprayed directly to one's body. Of course, the client can choose how dark they want their skin to be and there are different levels that one can choose from. One can choose to go really dark or to just darken the skin slightly to achieve an olive type complexion. These spray-on booths are normally available at spas, beauty salons and specific skin treatment clinics.

The spray is applied to the body in one continuous spray evenly and closely so that there are no missing spots. The density of the spray depends on how dark one wants to go. One need not go to a professional tanning salon or a spa to have this spray applied, one would only need to buy the product and apply it at home.

The spray that is used is not a dye or a color. It is a combination of chemicals the active ones being Dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose which are chemicals that react with the stratum corneum which is the outer layer of dead skin cells that protect the epidermal layers beneath. Both DHA and Erythrulose are substances that react in the same way to the skin cells that when applied, the dead skin cells are burned and turn brown. Erythrulose is a substance that is a keto sugar based substance that reacts with the keratin protein on the out layer of the skin. Dihydroxyacetone is a substance that reacts with the amino acids of the outer layer of the skin.

It takes longer for the tanning effect to occur, taking up to 48 hours to develop completely. DHA is a longer lasting chemical that when applied takes effect immediately. When both are used together, the effect is immediate and longer lasting. You need not be concerned that heavy sweat or other kinds of chemicals will remove the tanning solution because it is not a dye or a color. This kind of spray also ensures that the tanning occurs evenly all over the body and not in patches as some other solutions have done in the past.

Self-tanning products can come in different forms, not just sprays. One can find gels or even creams. One company produces a product that uses a roll-on applicator, so that your hands do not get stained. Sun Lab experts have developed products that can darken the skin to degrees ranging from relatively light to extremely dark. They do however ensure to recommend what the best skin shade should be to make the tanning solution effective.
