Chief Information About Sun Soak Self Tanner

By Haywood Hunter


People with pale skins all are forever searching for that elusive perfect golden look. But with the knowledge that tanning under the sun will give rise to painful burns or even cancer, many are wary of doing this. A better, faster and more effective way of browning the skin is now available in a bottle in the form of the sun soak self tanner. Sun soak self tanner is a safe alternative and the result is as good as the real thing.

Baking or sun basking can lead to extremely adverse ill effects. The most common is a sun-burn which presents with an extremely painful, reddened and inflamed skin. There are several lotions and creams available to deal with sunburn. These are either purchased over the counter or require a prescription from a doctor. Scarring may or may not occur. Majority of cases end up with splotchy skin for life. This can be avoided by using sun soak self tanner.

Bronzers are available in several forms and are good to spice up the looks for the atypical special occasion. They are applied on the legs, face, arms and body to give a beautiful golden glow to the user. They come in form of powders, gels, sticks and sprays. Sun soak self tanner also comes in form of a mousse, in addition to these other types.

Sun soak self tanner works through the active ingredient known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is a sugar that reacts with the proteins which are naturally occurring on the topmost layer of skin, the epidermis. This reaction causes the skin to darken, giving the famous fake tan. Skin slowly darkens over time but generally achieves the golden glow in about four hours.

A spot test is necessary when using a sun soak self tanner for the first time. This reduces the possibility of a severe allergic reaction should the user be sensitive to any of its components. If the spot test is successful with no adverse reactions, proceed with the following.

Wax or shave a day prior to application of the sun soak self tanner. Exfoliate the skin and take a shower shortly before applying the sun soak self tanner. This allows the tan to go into the skin evenly. Special attention during exfoliation should be given to drier body parts such as the hands, feet and elbows. This is to prevent the sun soak self tanner from settling deep inside the creases and giving an orange appearance.

Some sun soak self tanner products give rise to a tan gradually over a few days. This may be beneficial to those who do not want to drastically change their looks from being pale one day to being dark the following day. The fast acting tanners give rise to a tan rapidly, some in as little as two hours. They are a great option for people on the rush or for a special event.

With all the disadvantages of sunbathing outlined above, it is only prudent that people use the sun soak self tanner. It have been proved that sun soak self tanner is safe, fast and easy to use. The end result after application of sun soak self tanner is also as good, if not better than sun basking.
