Sunless tanner  is applying chemicals on the skin to produce an effect similar in appearance to a traditional suntan. Sunless tanners apperaed in the 1960s and graduated a lot, improving both their colorsceme( we are  no more like ripe oranges) and the ingredients. Besides, there constantly invented new sunless tanners. So it `s important distinguishing difference between types of  sunless tanners. Bronzers, tanning accelerators, pills, tanning beds,  tanning booths and other varieties are aimed at giving a certaing brown color to your skin the only difference is how do they attach it to it. In fact, sunless tanners are  just a  paint for your skin.
 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,  these sunless tanners create color 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.    Sunless tanners like bronzers  are  washable - some can be washed off  for the first hour,  and then are somehow permanent. But, these sunless tanners lack stability and can stain clothes and diluted with even small amount of water.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective sunless tanners are sunless tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. As the top layers  are painted, the exfoliation of them delets the tan. Besides,  applying these sunless tanners it takes 3-4 hours for DHA and  proteins of epidermis to react  with each other.  It does not involve skin pigmentation nor does it need UV exposure to initiate the color change. The sunless tanners reaction is non-toxic and skin safe, without the damage associated with UV exposure. The tan is temporary and will fade gradually over 3 to 10 days. These products can be applied at home, in the form of gels, lotions, mousses, sprays and wipes and it causes some troubles. Such sunless tanners are difficult to apply by oneselves, especially on the back and legs, otherwise the tan will be not even. But professional application options are available from spas, salons, and gymnasiums.  Spray sunless tanners, applied in a booth in special salons,  have several advantages over cream, foam and lotion tanning formulas. You don't have to touch the product or rub it in, so your hands do not stain. It's easy to apply correctly, because the fine mist provides even coverage and the results are visible immediately. Besides, it takes only one minute to obtain an even glowing tan. Well, it is up to you to choose among such a variety of sunless tanners. The only thing you shouldn`t forget is to conduct a patch test in order not to get rash.
