How Do Many Of The Best Self Tanning Products Do Many Of Their Job

By Haywood Hunter


Summer is just around the corner for many people and now is the time for them to start to get ready to wear summertime clothing. People are digging out bathing suits, shorts, and sandals to wear every chance they can get. However, many of these same people do not want to show off their white wintertime skin and are looking to darken it. They may want to get the best self tanning products to use.

One of the most common ingredients in lotions and some creams is dihydroxyacetone, or as it is known, DHA. This substance will only affect the surface layer of the epidermis. One can use it by spraying it or rubbing it on the body.

This substance, also called DHA, interacts with the dead skin cells to make them turn dark. One needs to make sure they have a generous supply of lotions containing DHA. This is necessary since dead cells tend to wash off easily and one must replace the tan as it wears off fairly quickly.

There are also tanning accelerators. These normally contain certain amino acids that can be put on the skin or taken internally as a pill. This substance increases the production of melanin that controls skin color.

Another pill based product are those that have a material called canthaxanthin in them. This has traditionally been used as a food coloring additive. This will make the body become an orange brownish color as it disperses throughout the human circulatory system.

The best self tanning products will make on look darker. Most are made in lotion and cream forms, but there are some that are meant to be ingested. They will not protect someone against the sun like a real tan might do and one will need to be careful when going out into the sun.
