Best Tans Are Fake Tans

Added: 01/06/2006

The Canadian Dermatology Association says, "No tan is a good tan," since all exposure to solar radiation - whether from the sun or a tanning lamp - damages the skin to some extent. To the sun-obsessed, it seems as well saying, "No air is good air." Well, the immense popularity of tan nowadays turns to have more disadvantages than benefits: practically every day we hear new horrors about skin cancer, melanoma and other consequences of sun exposure.

 

But at the same time, cosmetics-producing companies assure us in complete safety of UV light, especially produced  by  indoor tanning salons. Besides, each fashion-show and tabloids dazzle with chocolate-skinned, bronzed  stars. There is a lot of ways to get fake tans, each of which has its peculiarities but they are common in onó thing - these substances will produce an effect of  even tan without any sun.  Fake tans can be applied at home, by using cosmetic products in  the form of gels, lotions, mousses, sprays and wipes. Tanning accelerators - lotions or pills that usually contain the amino acid tyrosine - claim that they stimulate and increase melanin formation, thereby accelerating the tanning process. These are used in conjunction with UV exposure. Bronzers are a temporary sunless tanning or bronzing option. These come in powders, sprays, gels, lotions and moisturizers. Once applied, they create fake tans that can easily be removed with soap and water. Like make-up, these products tint or stain your skin only until they are washed off.
Swarty coloring of fake tans appears not because of UV light, but because of  'painting' of the top dermis layers. In fact, fake tan is just a  paint for your skin. The "paint on color" creates a smoother and more even appearance while it mutes veins and hides flaws. Your skin feels smooth and silky with none of the mess or damage cause by other methods of tanning.  So fake tans are  washable everything differs by the time - some can be washed off  for the first hour,  and then are somehow permanent. But there are fake tans that will take ten to twelve hours for full absorption of the product in to the skin. And though theses fake tans have the longest period of presence, they  can come off on your clothes just after application, until you have had a first shower. If it gets on your clothes, don't panic, practically all fake tans will  wash out with regular laundering.  Don't use a stain penetrator as it can set the color and cause staining, as well as  using too much product will leave a residue on the skin and the tone can  be rather uneven. We recommend using as little as possible, blending and stretching the lotion to get the desirable tone of fake tans. 
Many fake tans contains moisturizers and humectants. Some fake tans lotions are filled with small amount of evaporative SD-alcohol, which  allows them to dry quickly without drying the skin. these fake tans must be used carefully, if you are going outside in the noon. But the best fake tan lotion is that, which is supported by plant extracts, help create your own individualized tan shade.  The carrier takes the color and moisturizers into the top three layers of your skin. Paint once a day for up to 3 days in a row until you have the shade you want. But you should maintain the color, using fake tans on your body once a week and your face twice a week. BUT! Before using any of fake tans, please don`t forget to make a patch test in order not to have allergy.
