Much has been said about sunbathing. The Sun is the source of life, and exposure to sunlight affects mood, health and overall quality of life. On the other hand, overexposure to the sun's rays can be very dangerous. You should avoid sunbathing at the time when the harmful rays are strongest. People with very pale and sensitive skin should use one of the methods of sunless tanning.

One of these widely popular bronze achieving methods is solarium. If you want to achieve deeper nuances, you have to be patient, and to take at least several shorter sessions. Other way you could get sunburns, or damage your skin. In any case, the skin needs to be protected, as well as your eyes. You have to be aware that you cannot get tropical nuance in one session only.

The biggest problem is the price. Solarium is quite expensive, especially if you are interested in maintaining deep bronze nuance all year long. The procedure can cause skin damages as well as skin aging, just as natural sunbathing. Pale people with sensitive or damaged skin should consider other methods of achieving desired tan.

Until some time ago, different self-tanners were quite famous thanks to unnatural orange tones they have sometimes produced. Fortunately, new lotions and creams give very nice, natural looking results. The best thing about these products is that you can pick the color you think is best for you, and have beautifully tanned skin the very same day. You can do it yourself, or visit some specialized salon.

Salons usually use airbrush technology. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes. A technician will use an airbrush to apply tiny little droplets of specially designed lotion. This way your skin color is going to be flawless, without streaks or discoloration. The important thing is to bring some old bikini with you, although they usually have disposable ones there.

Various gels, lotions and self-tanning creams are very simple to apply. These products are available in a number of catchy shades, from gold to bronze intense. Instant gels provide quick results that may or may not be permanent, depending on the product. Different overnight creams are applied in the evening, and the final color intensity is visible the next morning.

Self tanners are mostly based on DHA. This natural substance reacts with outer skin layer, and the product of this reaction is altered skin color. It means that these products don't contain paint, and they get absorbed only to outer skin layer. Once set, the color lasts for several days, but it gradually fades, as your skin renewing itself and all these dead skin cells get removed.

The skin should be smooth and gently exfoliated before the procedure. Soft washcloth or sponge will help, but it is advisable to use exfoliating gel as well. Pay special attention to rough skin on your elbows and heels. Apply your self tanner on perfectly dry skin. Different color maintaining lotion will make your color even more attractive and more durable.
