Getting Excellent Results From Sun Fake Tan Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Ever since health authorities announced that sun exposure can cause skin cancer people have been turning to safer fake tanning lotions. In the past fake tans looked just that, fake. The results were slightly orange and didn't look natural. They were obviously fake. But thanks to the discovery and development of a chemical called DHA, fake tans now look exactly the same results as sun exposure. There are many excellent products available, among the beast are the sun fake tan lotions from Sun Laboratories.

DHA is an acronym for dihydroxyacetone; it is a naturally occurring chemical that is found in sugar cane and sugar beet. It is perfectly harmless on the skin and works by causing a chemical reaction on the skins outer layer. This causes the skin to darker, much like the UV rays from sun do. The darker self tanning lotions contain a higher level of DHA and Sun Laboratories offer a variety of products that contain different levels of DHA, so you can enjoy a deep dark tan or a lighter tan depending on your preference.

The skin that the DHA reacts are actually dead skin cells. Because of this it is important to exfoliate before applying any self tanner. Otherwise, when the older cells come off the tan will begin to looking patchy and uneven. Exfoliating is best dome in the shower, with a good quality exfoliating scrub. The shower is the perfect place to exfoliate, there are many excellent exfoliating scrubs that are available to purchase either at stores or online, that will do an excellent job at removing dead skin.

Once you have finishing exfoliating the skin it is advisable to moisturize. This helps the tan last long as moisturizers slow down the shedding of dead cell cells. It also makes the skin more supple, which lets the tan lotion sit better on the skin.

If you are one of those people who want to use a self tanner regularly should exfoliate and moisturize at least one in between each application of fake tan lotion. This will make tans last even longer and no-one will notice any changes in your your skin color.

DHA starts working as soon as fake tan lotion is applied to the skin. The effects will be noticeable after just a few hours and the full tan should appear the following morning; although it may take an extra day for those with lighter skin. Do not take a shower and avoid sweating for at least four hours after application, other wise some of the tanner will come off, leaving you with an uneven tan.

DHA does not stain material or damage the hair in any way. It also does not stain the skin or affect the skin's pigmentation. It is OK to towel dry after applying fake tanners as it this only removes excess lotion and doesn't have a negative effect on the tanning process. Tanners are fine for people with sensitive skin but those who may have dermatological conditions should speak to their doctor or skin specialist before using a fake tanner.

Regular self tan users can make savings by buying online, especially if they buy in large quantities. High quality lotions, such as the sun fake tan lotions are available to by at affordable prices at numerous online retail outlets. Sub Labs fake tanners are extremely high quality with fast results and long lasting tans.
