Everyone, it seems, wants a nice tan, but most of us aren't able to travel to the Bahamas, Caribbean or Mexico every month. Of course, tanning beds have been around forever and with new pills, sprays and lotions available it's easier than ever to keep that fabulous tan year round.

Sunless Tanning Pills

All sunless tanning solutions will cost you, but when comparing all the methods, taking a pill is certainly the easiest way to get that bronze glow. Different methods will affect different layers of your skin, but all sunless tanning pills that contain carotenoid pigments saturate the fat layers just below the skin to change the color of your skin.

Sunless tanning pills without carotenoid pigments are generally seen as ineffective in producing a nice tan on the body.

Sunless Tanning Lotions

Most sunless tanning lotions use the bronzing agent dihydroxyacetone. This chemical ingredient reacts with dead skin to make the skin appear tanned. Sounds gross, but it works and feels just like any other lotion. With a lotion, the tan will last between 5-7 days.

Applying sunless tanning lotions evenly can be more complex than you might think. Getting the help of a professional at a sunless tanning salon will certainly make the task a lot easier and insure better results. But if you do it yourself, be sure to use a circular motion and/or vertical and horizontal strokes to decrease the chance of streaks in your tan.

Sunless Tanning Sprays

New sprays and the ease and popularity of the body airbrush systems are making tanning beds a thing of the past. Sunless tanning with sprays often give results that look almost better than the real thing.

Sunless Tanning can produce quicker results than the regular sun and by using self-tanners and sun blocks regularly you will protect your skin from premature aging.
