Research On Best Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


Tanned skin has been considered a good thing especially among the white people. Many people in these cultures prefer the darker looking skin to the white as it looks paler. Tanning is done very easily by lying under the sun for some time. This causes the skin to produce more melanin to protect it against the UV rays and this cause skin to darken. There is however some seasons when the sun does not rise and therefore people use sunless tanners. The following is a review of the best self tanner.

Many scientists have conducted some research studies so as to invent the effective self-tanning products. The have used the best available products that are also very luxurious to come up with products that effectively give users the darker complexion they want. Some of them even have additional benefits such as skin moisturizing and making it look attractive.

The challenge comes in when the users are looking to find the good tanners. There are very many sunless tanners manufactured in the world and all the manufacturers claim that their products are of good value. They are usually manufactured in many forms such as lotions, creams, gels, milks, sprays or even pills. They can easily be acquired from drugstores, salons or online. But how can a user identify which is the best tanner?

Beauty experts have done extensive research in different ways so that they can come up with the best tanners. They have spoken with the industry experts, checked out the sales figures and also monitored the opinions of consumers. Some of these products can even be tested using a selection of criteria. Some of the factors considered are the smell, color, the drying time and the period of time they last.

Self-tanning has been in existence for a very long time. It was invented in 1960 by the Coppertone cosmetic company. The first products led to an orange looking tan. They have been improved over time so that now the ones available now produce a more natural look to the skin and they even work very fast. Some work immediately after application while others take longer like 45 minutes before the difference in skin color is noticed.

This kind of tanning should not be confused to have the power to protect the body against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. This is because it does not trigger the production of melanin as the normal tanning does. This works in a much more different way. The users of these tanners should therefore use sunscreen before exposing their skin to the sun to avoid skin burning.

Sunless tanning done on the outside by applying the products on the skin works because of the chemical reaction between dehydroacetone denoted as DHA that is present in the products and the dead cells on the dermal layer of skin. This reaction causes a color change thus the tan look is achieved. The internal products such as pills however contain some chemical products that work in the inside to change skin color.

Using these products may be dangerous sometimes especially the oral ones. They may cause some health problems like hepatitis and may also affect the retina by formation of yellow deposits in the eye. They also have effects on some of the internal structures such as the liver.
