Self Tanning And Fake Tan : The Innumerable Methods

By Haywood Hunter


Self tanning is meant to be an easy method of slightly darkening the color of your skin. This type of tanning usually involves many different methods by which one can achieve their goal of a tan, without involving the sun. Some of these self tanning methods are much more preferred than others because they are safer than the sun and a lot more convenient in many cases.

There are many self tanning agents on the market, but of those, the most popular involve: air brushing, tanning beds, pills and lotions. Not all of these self tanning products are recommended and some are not even considered safer than using the sun to tan. Air brushing and lotions probably rank as the safest, while the tanning beds and pills are considered as the least safe of self tanning methods. The information on the methods below will give you a better understanding of their benefits and help you to make a better choice about your self tanning agent.

Lotions: the lotions either work to darken the skin overtime or add a bronze layer to the skin. Skin darkening lotions work on the epidermal layers of the under skin to supposedly increase the production of melanin. The bronzers just add a tan layer and do not change the pigmentation of your skin.These are much more preferred as self tanning agents than the lotions.

Pills: just like some lotions, these cause an increase of melanin production in the epidermis. The way that they do this is not exactly clear and thus many doctors are skeptics on the safety of this particular method. Self tanning pills are also not an approved FDA product and thus consumers should beware of their possible side effects.

Air Brushing: this is a way to get an even tan. It involves having a tanning lotion of formula air brushed unto the skin. The air brushing method gives it an even and smooth look. This like the bronzer is a harmless and much preferred self tanning agent.

Tanning beds: these are the most unsafe to use for self tanning. They cause the emission of ultra violet rays much like the sun and thus are just as unsafe. Many people hence do not recommend their use.

Many methods of self tanning exist. The method you choose should always be based on not just preference but safety. Choosing a safe and effective self tanning methods such as using a bronzer will make you look good without compromising your health.
