Sunless tanning products are nothing like they used to be, indeed, many improvements have occurred in the last decade or more. Yes, there are very real risks associated with too much sun and UV rays from tanning beds; so these developments are well-received by many people. If there is any one possible difficulty with self tanning products, it's probably finding and selecting the one that will work best for you. So we will explore how you can approach researching and choosing a self tanning product that will have the best chance of being right for you.

If you've done any shopping for sunless tanning products, you've probably noticed that they can vary quite a bit in price. The quality will vary between products but that doesn't mean that the one that costs the most is the best one. You will find DHA as an active ingredient of the more effective self tanning products. Products that contain more DHA will give you a darker tan more quickly. You can end up with too much orange if the product doesn't contain enough DHA. To some extent, the better quality sunless tanning products cost more, but you should mainly look at the labels to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. You may also want to consider airbrush kits, as they are one of the most effective sunless tanning products. You will spend more on these kits than lotions, but you use an air gun to spray yourself with the DHA. You can go to a salon to have the process done if you don't want to purchase the kit at any of the various locations that offer them. To get a perfect tan, it's a better option to have a trained technician to it for you. Yet if you find this is the type of tan you prefer, you may want to buy a kit so you learn to do it yourself, as this is cheaper in the long run. Of the available sunless tanning options, airbrushing will give you the most natural look.

No matter which sunless tanning products you use, you want your tan to last as long as possible. To some extent, this will depend on the particular product you choose, but there are certain things you can do to keep your tan longer. For one thing, very hot water will tend to wash away your tan.

Even with all of the available sunless tanning products, sometimes you just prefer to go to a salon and let someone else do the work. For most people when they think of tanning salons, what comes to mind are the ultra violet lighted tanning beds. This type of tan also can give you a burnt or leathery look. The active ingredient in other sunless tanning products, DHA, is available as a spray at some tanning salons. When you go to a salon to get this process done, you will see a trained technician who will be better able to give you an even tan, especially in any hard to reach places.

Predominantly, sunless tanning merchandise gives you the opportunity to appreciate the benefits of appearing tan, without the negative aspects that come with exposure to the sun and tanning beds. It's just a matter of finding the product that gives you exactly the kind of tan you want. Try out a bunch of different products, while not forgetting the suggestions we mentioned in this article.
