Choose the Best Sunless Tanning Products with these Tips

When it comes to getting a tan, there are many good reasons to use a sunless tanning product. These products are a safer option than using a tanning bed or lying in the sun for hours. Finding the right one among the various options available can be a bit confusing, though. When looking for the right sunless tanning product, use the following tips to help guide you.

Did you know there are some companies that claim you can get a great tan with the use of pills. Oh, imagine the millions of people that kind of simplicity would appeal to. Unfortunately, tanning pills are quite dangerous, and aside from this it's hard to regulate your tan when you take a product internally, so you never know how it will look. These pills use "canthaxanthin" which is a chemical used to color foods. Two points: first, you have to take a lot of canthaxanthin to color your skin, and secondly there are opinions that this chemical is not safe for consumption (in lower amounts) in food. In short, you should stay away from tanning pills and stick to the much safer self tanning products that you apply externally. Before choosing a self tanning product, think about how much you desire your face to be tanned and to what degree. The main point is that facial skin is more sensitive, generally speaking, and some people could experience some irritation depending on their overall body type and amount of self tanning applied to the face. As with all products, exercise care when applying close to your eyes; and obviously avoid getting it in your eyes. Just a word about how strong the smell is for these products; the stronger the smell, you'll likely find will tend to have more of an effect if your skin is sensitive in terms of aggravation, etc. Your skin will usually not experience discomfort if you pick a brand that will also not clog your pores.

When you use sunless tanning products, it's important to prepare your skin ahead of time, also known as exfoliating. For quite a few days leading up to the use of a self-tanner, you should maintain moisture in your skin. Then, when you are ready to self tan, first take a shower and scrub your body to wash away dead skin cells. You can get special washes specifically made for sunless tanning, and these are good to use right before you apply the product. Using a standard lotion too close to when you self-tan might cause an odd or streaky tan, which you definitely don't want. This preparation will enable whatever product you use to work more effectively.

Because of all the health concerns related to sun exposure and tanning beds, it's helpful that there are so many sunless tanning options. But be sure to read the labels and look for well reviewed products to get the results you want. You shouldn't have any problems find the best sunless tanning product if you keep these tips in mind.
