It can be very exciting to purchase a bottle of tanner at the supermarket or online and try indoor tanning for the first time. Before you do so, it's a good idea to know more about the product you are intending to get. One very popular option you have out there is the Sun tan lotion. Read on to learn a few important things about this product before you buy it.

The tanner can make your skin darker even without exposure to the sun because of a plant-based chemical called DHA. You can be sure that it's not going to leave your skin irritated because it is just basically a form of sugar. When this ingredient comes into contact with dead skin cells, a color that is highly similar to an actual suntan is produced in about 3 hours.

However, a darkening effect can be observed immediately the moment you smooth on the product. It's because of the bronzer that the manufacturer has added into the formulation. The stain created also serves as your guide so you can avoid missing a spot. Because of this bronzer, there is no need for you to wait for DHA to produce the initial change in your skin tone.

The color brought about by the bronzing ingredient washes off easily with water. It only means that taking a shower or doing activities that leave you sweaty has to be avoided. Sweating may also leave your clothes stained. It's because of this why it is a good idea for you to wear dark clothes after applying the tanner all over your body to avoid such problem.

It's important for the UV-free tanning solution to stay on your skin for 6 to 8 hours after the initial application. This gives the DHA in the product plenty of time to be absorbed by the skin's topmost layer. During this time, you may notice a fishy odor coming from your skin. This is something normal and is observed by everyone using a sunless tanner containing DHA.

The richest color that DHA can generate comes into view only after 24-72 hours from the initial application of the tanner. How deep the hue is will depend on the product's shade intensity. Sun Laboratories is offering ultra dark, medium dark and dark lotions. In order to enjoy a realistic fake tan, it's a good idea to choose a shade that is very close to your complexion.

In a span of about a week, the color highly similar to a suntan gradually disappears. It's something that cannot be avoided because the skin is constantly replaced by your body. However, delaying the natural process of exfoliation is possible. All you need to do is apply your favorite hand and body moisturizer or the manufacture's tan extender on a regular basis.

Before you apply your sunless tanner, the skin should be readied for the product. It's important for you to hit the shower and exfoliate while in there to remove dirt, grime and excessive dead skin cells. You should also shave unwanted hair to prevent a mottled effect. Make sure that you carefully follow the directions for use to enjoy a lovely fake tan.
