Blonde Girl Sun Tanning By The Pool

Sunless tanning
To avoid exposure to UVB and UVA rays, sunless tanning options have been developed for those people who want to darken their skin color without the negative effects from ultraviolet rays. Sunless tanning products are also known as self-tanners. Their use has become more popular as people become more aware of the dangers of long term sun exposure. In general terms, sunless tanning options can be divided in: stainers (based on dihydroxyacetone, DHA), bronzers (which basically are dyes), tan accelerators (based on tyrosine and psolarens), and solaria (method used in sunbeds and sunlamps).
Many sunless tanning products are available in the form of creams, gels, lotions, and sprays that are self-applied on the skin. Another option to obtain a tanned appearance is the use of bronzers which are cosmetics that provide temporary effects. There is also a professional spray-on tanning option or “tanning booths” that is offered by spas, salons, and tanning businesses.
Spray tanning does not mean that a color is sprayed on the body, what is used in this process is a colorless chemical which burns the dead cells located on the top layer of the skin resulting in a brown color. The two main active ingredients used in most of the sunless tanners are dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose.
