How To Take Care Of Your Epidermis

When searching to find the most effective self tanning products it is important to

find one that lists dihydroxyacetone or DHA as an active ingredient.As an isomer of glyceraldehydes, DHA is very well renounced for its ability to make the skin dark.DHA start to take effect forty minutes to one hour after applying it as proven by The American Academy of Dermatology.

DHA is dull colored sugar that is extremely vital in the carbohydrates metabolism.

It works by interacting with dead cells located in the outermost layer of the epidermis.DHA is very helpful in producing a natural pigment called melanoidin after it reacts with amino acid and helps in making the protein in our skin cells bond together. The change in our skin color will last for about a week after the bonding of the DHA with the amino acids in our epidermis.

It is also vital to understand that the presence of melanoidin and melanin in our body help in absorbing the sun's rays.

A lot of self tanners does not completely protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun since they only provide an SPF 2 protection.It is also a good idea to wear protective eye wear and sunblock if you plan on being in the sun for a long period of time. Majority of the tanning products you can find in the market are made to offer a natural looking tan to its users and this is one thing to consider.

The tanner you used will certainly dry after 3 hours from its initial application and makes your skin look tan that will last for one week.

A week is just a general time line for how long a sunless tan should last, but it all depends on your skin and what part of the body has the product on it. Where you place the product in your body matters because some parts that are applied with the product will have a longer effect as compare to the other parts of the body.

So, where does the tan go?

One of the main cause of the fading of the tan is when the dead cells are taken away when you take a shower and do other things. The human skin, in fact, rejuvenates itself approximately every month.

Many companies state, that in order to maintain a tanned look, it is recommended to reapply the product every three to four days.Given the fact that the effect of the tanning product differs from product to product, it is recommended to choose the product that last longer.Experimenting with sunless tanners is good, so you can find the one that fits you and your body the best.
