<?php echo date("M Y"); ?> If you are thinking about using a beauty tanning lotion, there are a few things you should definitely take in consideration.
First, many brand produce several types of tanning lotions, and all of them present different features.
There is, for example the so called “Indoor beauty tanning lotion”, which is specifically designed to help your skin capture ultraviolet rays. In fact, it is made with chemical ingredients which work on the top layer of the skin, by increasing the amount of melanin produced by your body.
There is, then, the natural beauty tanning lotion, which actually contains both natural and chemical ingredients. This type of tanning lotion is sure to give you not only an even and long lasting tan, but also a healthy look.
However, there are many women and men who don’t feel comfortable with the idea of using a chemical beauty tanning lotion.
That is why several companies have focused on this specific product, assuring their consumers a perfect summer glow, without wearing anything artificial dyes.
The fantastic thing about using a natural beauty tanning lotion is that it does not give you that horrible orange look that you get when you wear common self-tanners.
Depending on the single brand, a beauty tanning lotion might contain different ingredients. Here are some of the most used ones:
- Coffee extracts
- Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colourless sugar that interacts with the superficial layer of the skin in order to darken your natural colour
- Herbs and Exotic plants
However, many say that using a “chemical” beauty tanning lotion is not the same as using a natural one, as the tan provided by the second one fades in a few days and is not as effective as the first one.
Obviously, that’s because our skin continuously regenerates itself and replaces its superficial layer every 30-35 days. Given this, you need to know or understand that anytime you buy a beauty tanning lotion, the application instructions remind you of re-applying the lotion every 15-20 days.
Also, while chemicals are known to be long lasting and effective, a natural beauty tanning lotion fades in a few days, as it respects the normal skin cell renewal, operating on the superficial layer of the skin, instead of penetrating the inside.
You may not know this, but the first beauty tanning lotion was launched by Coppertone in 1960. This beauty tanning lotion was not as advanced as the ones we have today, and produced a terrible colour that made people look orange. Fortunately, other brands introduced new self tanning products which provided a more acceptable summer glow.
However, you should never forget that wearing a beauty tanning lotion, as well as any other tanning product, will not protect your skin from UV rays, which may cause you serious problems, including several allergies or even lead to skin cancer.
That’s why you should always wear a protective cream before going to the beach; no matter where you put your beauty tanning lotion, as that is not enough to defend your skin.
