Sunless tanning involves the use of sprays, solutions and lotions. The most common component of sunless tan solution is dihydroxyacetone or DHA. It is not a dye, stain or paint. It is a chemical that causes a reaction with amino acids in the skin surface to initiate a color change. Another chemical that works similarly is erythrulose. Both cause temporary effects but when used in combination, erythrulose and DHA creates a longer lasting effect.

These components are used in different kinds of sunless tanning products including gels, lotions, sprays and wipes. It requires that the skin be prepared by cleansing, exfoliating and drying completely before application. Bathing is to be avoided until the product is completely absorbed which should take from one to six hours depending on the thickness of the skin. When applying tanning solutions, exposure should be avoided in the area of the eyes, lips and other parts covered by mucous membrane. Inhalation should also be avoided.

Sunless tanning is just another way of getting the suntanned look. It may have advantages over lazing in the sun for hours but it is not an entirely risk-free procedure. Let us take a look at the methods currently being used. There are tanning lotions that are very popular and effective

Most sunless tanning lotions have dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as their active ingredient. The DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in your epidermis to give you a bronzed look. You’ll get a color changed within 5-7 days. The same chemicals are also applied using a spray. An airbrush tanning system provides streak free results and will dry in minutes. Others take tanning pills or avail of tanning bed services. Tanning tablets are not recommended by many professionals. Tanning beds may still increase the risk of skin cancer. The safest methods of skin tanning seem to be a sunless skin tanning product or a bronzer. The other option is to forego getting a skin tan altogether.
