Choosing Your Best Self Tanning Products
The most common active ingredient is the amino acid reactive sugar DHA, which turns color varying shades of brown depending on how much DHA is absorbed.
A small amount leads to a golden brown, while a larger amount darkens color, but does not necessarily brown it. We’ve all seen the bad, orangey-palmed result of the wrong sunless tanner, or the blotchy, carroty finish when skin was not properly exfoliated prior to application.
The various tanning products will have varied effects on different skins. Olive complexions, or folks with a bit more base color will have better luck with creams and lotions promising a deeper bronze, which contain much more DHA.
It’s a bit trickier for the fairer skinned ladies, as they should seek out products with relatively less DHA, that offer light to medium color.
If you’ve got a product that you feel is a bit dark for you, dilute it some by mixing in a bit of a body lotion and spread evenly on your skin. While product pricing can vary from drugstore cheap to department store megabucks, be advised that this may be one occasion where you do seem to get what you pay for.
Finding a good sunless tanner can be tricky, and those higher quality ingredients may lend you a better result. This is, of course, not always the case, so do head out into a little trial and error
