There are numerous tanning salons offering all types of services. Tanning beds are still very popular, although most people don't realize that this equipment emits high levels of UV radiation. Besides, different lotions used in tan beds rarely contain SPF, their primary purpose is to accelerate your bronzing, enhancing the production of melanin. Some can contain other chemicals or colorants as well.

Using sunless tanners is really the easiest solution. Most of these products contain different percentages of DHA. This sugar based chemical component reacts with outer skin layer. The whole process takes for about four to six hours, because the color develops gradually. DHA percentage determines the color intensity. More DHA in your chosen product means darker nuance.

The resulting color is quite similar to naturally achieved bronze. This particular chemical compound is extracted from sugar, and it is suitable for all skin types. Considering the fact that only superficial skin layer is affected, and your skin naturally sheds every few days, it means that your color will gradually fade, until it disappear after one week or so. You can reapply the lotion whenever you think it is necessary.

Your skin needs to be properly prepared for the application. It means that it has to be exfoliated, cleansed and well moisturized. Well prepared skin will be evenly dyed and smooth, and your color will last longer. Using good quality moisturizer will additionally prolong the life of your beautiful bronze summer glow. In any case, choosing the best quality products is the best guarantee for great results.
