A Summary Of Sunless-Tanning Procedures

By Haywood Hunter


There are a number of sunless-tanning products and techniques that are used to give a natural suntanned appearance to the skin. There are several products that darken the skin without the use of the sun. These products help to achieve a tanned look without exposing the skin to the harmful rays of the sun.



Skin cancer is linked to spending too much time in the sun. Self-tan products help people get tanned without exposing themselves to skin cancer. Many of these products also are made with different levels of sunscreen. Self-tan treatments are easily found in regular drugstores and beauty skin care shops. They are available in gels, lotions, mousse and powder form.

Many of these products also consist of a chemical called DHA, which enables the skin to darken, providing a natural looking tan. These tanning solutions do not contain dyes that stain the skin. DHA naturally reacts to amino acids located on the surface of the skin causing a tanned appearance. This chemical is FDA approved and considered safe for use.

There is also the option of going to sunbed salons to receive a tanned skin tone. These are professional facilities that are equipped with special sunbeds that emit UV rays to tan the skin. Clients will lay down on the beds for a certain period of time and will emerge with a new darker complexion.

Spray on tans are another option where individuals are treated with a fine mist that contains a special tanning solution. This solution is sprayed over the entire face and body. Professional technicians offer this service at certain types of beauty salons. The technique just requires a few short minutes to finish. This form of airbrush has become very popular in recent years among those that enjoy maintaining a tanned appearance.

There are several advantages to obtaining a tan without spending several hours in the sun. Other than the health benefits of limited exposure to the sun, it is also a faster and more convenient method to achieve a sun tanned look. Utilizing any of the different self-tan techniques affords individuals the opportunity to have tans all year round.

There are a selection of sunless-tanning treatments to choose from, all of which are considered to be safer than sunbathing. Certain procedures will have longer lasting results than other treatments. The costs also differ among various treatments so it is a good idea to research the different options.
