A lot of people these days prefer to apply fake tanning products than bake in the sun. Without the involvement of solar radiation, indoor tanners effectively promote skin darkening. The use of fake tanning products is a great way to considerably reduce your risk for skin cancer. Also, it becomes easier to dodge those premature signs of aging.

Don't think that fake tanning products are created equally. They differ in many things, and one of them is the duration of the simulated suntan. What's more, not all of these topical solutions can recreate the same glorious color of the real deal.

When shopping around for fake tanning products, decide how long you want the effect to last. Some of the fake tanning products on the market only stain the skin with a tan-like color that washes off in the shower. These tanners rely on bronzers that paint the skin temporarily. You can enjoy a bronzed complexion for as long as bronzers remain on your skin.

People who are looking to have a really short-term bronzed complexion go for fake tanning products with bronzers. When the time comes they want to go back to their real skin color, all they have to do is erase the stain with water. Bear in mind that the effect of bronzers may be removed with just about any type of liquid, including sweat. Because of this, it's a good idea to refrain from wearing light-colored clothes. Try not to engage in any physical activity that can leave you perspiring.

There are also fake tanning products that contain bronzers yet can make the skin stay dark for many days. Tanners like these contain an ingredient known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical which has the endorsement of the FDA can replicate the color of a suntan without requiring any exposure to solar radiation. DHA is sugar-based so you know it's mild.

DHA being used by today's fake tanning products react with proteins that dead skin cells have. This causes the production of a deep brown color highly similar to a suntan. Because of its efficacy in carrying out its role, a lot of producers of fake tanning products count on DHA. The resulting simulated tan lasts for about a week. It gradually fades due to the skin's natural sloughing off. Tanners create different color intensities, depending on the amount of DHA present.

Nothing can beat DHA when it comes to the replication of a real tan. However, various tanners on the market also contain many other ingredients. All of them have an effect on how realistic or unnatural the resulting skin color is. Make sure that you go for something that works excellently if you don't want to step foot outside the home with orange and blotchy skin.

Today, fake tanning products come in variety of forms. You can find gels, sprays, mousse and lotions which are the top choice of many indoor tan enthusiasts. Fake tanning products are perfect for people who want to darken their skin without sitting in the sun. Thanks to their availability, you can stay as far away as possible from solar radiation's harmful effects.
