Band Rising

In a culture that believes a tan is more attractive than pasty white, many products have been released into the market to satisfy the people\’s need to color their skin. Naturally tanning is not longer the only method to add a little color. Each has its benefit such as the relatively long duration of a natural tan versus the short lived fake-bake tan resulting from the application of the bronzer.

One of the biggest benefits of working for a real tan is the lasting effects. But for those who are naturally very light it is important to take care and not expose the skin to more UV rays than it is ready to handle. Avoid burning by tanning in short session under moderate conditions.

There are tanning lotions that many people use to accelerate the tanning process. These lotions contain moisturizing effects to keep the skin moist which increases the production of melanin. Exposure to UV rays very quickly dries the skin so is it important to keep the skin hydrated.

Fake tanning lotions and sprays that are DHA based are generally regarded as very safe. The chemicals do not affect anything beyond the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin so the worse that could happen is an allergic reaction or irritation. This is avoided by simply testing on a small area and treating any negative side effects in that small area.

Another option is to use a bronzer to tan the skin. A bronzer is simply a product that colors the skin but does nothing to change the chemical or biological composition of the person. It is simply like a makeup that sits on top of the skin. A bronzer is a very temporary method of adding color to the skin since it washes off with a shower.

It is up to the individual to decide what the best tanning lotion is for their particular situation. Just remember to learn more about what each product does so there is no confusion between something like outdoor tanning lotion and indoor tanning lotion.
