A Brief Overview Of Tanning Lotion Reviews
by Haywood Hunter
Being tan is associated with being healthy in western cultures, but more and more people are realizing that it is also associated with increased risk of skin cancer, wrinkles, and other sun-related damage. While some of these are only aesthetic, others are far more serious. Tanning lotion reviews can help people find a better alternative to excess sun exposure.
It used to be that sunless tanners were a bit of a joke. People would put them on and turn orange, or get streaky color and be very obvious about it. Nowadays, there are many different products which can create a great, natural shade. Of course, just as with hair dye, there are options that will look flawless and those that will look less than flawless.
For the person who doesn't want anyone to know that they are using a sunless tanner, there are even varieties that will darken your skin a little at a time over a period of days. This mimics the natural process that occurs when out in the sun, and allows people to hide what they are doing from everyone. However, using a sunless tanner is not the stigma that it used to be.
A sunless tanner needs to be maintained - unlike a natural tan, it will fade quickly if you do not do regular maintenance. A tan obtained in the sun will last several weeks or months, while one out of a bottle typically lasts four to six days before starting to fade. This is because these products rely on dying the outermost skin cells, which slough off at about this rate.
The ingredient in sunless tanners is pretty much the same, no matter what type or brand you buy. It is safe, but has a somewhat pungent odor. Applying it in lower doses allows a gradual darkening of the skin that appears more natural, and higher doses creates an 'instant' tan. The compound can be applied as a gel, lotion or spray, or saturated into a towelette.
Using a gradual type allows for people to get used to the darkening a little at a time, and makes it less jarring when they look at themselves in the mirror. It also helps avoid streaks as the regular application tends to cover evenly over the course of the days that it takes to get to the final shade. There are some products which are simply daily lotions with a tanner added to them. This makes maintenance of your shade easy.
Tanners all use essentially the same ingredient, which means that they all smell essentially the same before whatever fragrance is added. This smell can be stronger or weaker depending on the product, and experts suggest that you give the 'sniff-test' to any product you are considering before buying it, because some or all products may smell intolerable to certain people.
Finding just the right shade for your skin tone isn't always easy, either. Tanning lotion reviews say that most people will need to test a new product on a piece of hidden skin before deciding whether they should use it all over. This is the only way to get a good, natural-looking result.
