The Dos And Donts Of Sunless Tanning

When the weather gets warmer, the whole of America becomes obsessed with bronze and sun-kissed skin

. Almost everyone wants to get a tan. These days, people want a healthy tan skin tone throughout the year. In fact, even during summers, people are little hesitant to go too much in the sun for a nice tan because of the associated risks of UV rays, skin cancer, acne, blemishes etc. This is where sunless tanning comes in the picture. Sunless tanning can be achieved by tanning lotions, sprays, powders, pills, tanning beds, tanning salons and so forth. The efficacy, efficiency, consequences, and reliability of sunless tanning varies by method used.

If you want to try sunless tanning, the number one thing you should bear in mind is your skin's health. Here are few other tips that you should keep in mind:

There will be some areas of the body you want to protect from getting too dark. Pre-apply baby oil or a lotion to such areas (maybe knees or elbows) before beginning the sunless tanning process.

Avoid shaving right before sunless tanning to avoid rashes and irritation of skin

Always use disposable gloves when you are applying the tanning agent. You do not want to get orange hands!

Do not get wet immediately after you undergo a sunless tanning treatment. This could result in streaks. Always wait at least a few hours before getting wet.

For special areas like the elbows or knees, always use an applicator to apply the tanning agent

Before you apply any tanning agent on your body, make sure you are well exfoliated.

Be very careful when you use tanning agents that list padimate O, lisadimate, aminobenzoic acid or roxadimate as ingredients. These ingedients are potentially harmful and may cause permanent discoloration.

Keep in mind if the tanning agent you use does not have sunscreen as one of its ingredients, then it will not protect you against harmful UV rays.

Most sunless tanning processes are harmless, but not all will prevent skin damage caused due to sun and the UV rays. Furthermore, methods such as tanning beds or tanning pills are potentially harmful and the subject is controversial and much debated. It is important to do your research before actually going ahead and using a sunless tanning agent. Consult with a pharmacist or a doctor as necessary.
