Tanning is not limited to women only. They are becoming more and more popular for men too nowadays. Tanning has become so widely famous that it spans any gender. Men also desire for healthy and young golden brown skin without the pain of exposing oneself under the hot scorching sun.
There are many questions asked about sunless tanning lotions like is safe and effective? Does it last long enough and are results really that good? You might as well get to know more about this new way of getting tanned. Be as sexy and alluring as women are with tanned skin without the help from the sun.
Self sunless tanning comes in many forms, ways, and procedures. The safest and easiest way to do this is by applying self-tanning lotions which come in bottle types, spray types, and tube types.
It’s just like directly applying a tanning lotion on your skin when you use the spray type. Obviously, it is directly applied to your skin but not by the use of your hands. You squirt it out. This could be more advantageous that applying the tanning lotion directly as you could easily spray it even on areas which you find it hard to reach as well as the dry and scaly areas like the knees and elbows. Of course the armpits and palms should not be sprayed at.
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is proven safe and effective by America’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the main ingredient of tanning lotions which specializes in coloring the top skin cell layers of the skin so they’d get tanned. It chemically and cosmetically tans the skin without any harm. They leave a cooling effect on your skin and keeping you dry and non-greasy. They are also available in scents good for both men and women which are not so strong so as not to be irritating.
One important thing is for you to make sure that you do not have harmful reactions to the tanning lotion to ensure 100% effectiveness. If common everyday lotions can give you allergic reactions then the same may happen with tanning lotions as well. Test it first on a small part of your skin and see what happens before you make a purchase.
Some men have sensitive and allergy-susceptible skin. It is better for them to choose water-based tanning lotions to avoid negative chemical reactions. The mists and shades vary in different weights so there are a lot to choose from. Also you’d be sure that the tanning lotion is good and reputable if it doesn’t give you tinges of orange and red marks on the skin. Always aim for something more natural.
Best safe and effective brands give a tan for about 5 to 8 days. Anyway, here are some tips you could make use of in order to stay tanned longer:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the lotion.
Exfoliate and get rid of your dead skin cells.
Put on gloves before applying the tanning lotion.
Don’t miss out any important part of the body except the palms and armpits.
Wait for at least 15 minutes before dressing up to let the tan dry completely on your skin.
Do not apply the tanning lotion in a steamy bathroom or in a hot room to avoid sweating and dripping as these may cause the lotion to wash out and leave an uneven result.
