The market is flooded with different products. This makes it is difficult for the consumer to choose the best tanning lotion to suit their requirements. Here are five tips that may help you choose an apt cream or spray for your skin type.

The Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) content is important. This is the active agent which does all the work. By reacting with amino acids in the skin, the color change reaction produces the tan. The higher this is, the greater the reaction. The lower it is, the milder the reaction. As such, for those wanting to bronze rapidly, something with a higher count would be good.



Possibly the most important number given on these products is the Sun Protection Factor (SPF). As it suggests, this rates how protective a product is against the Ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) light which is given off by the sun. It is most important to have a higher number when first tanning, if partial to burning or skin irritation, and most certainly for the under 18s.

The leading products on the market will have other ingredients too. One of these is likely to be a coloring agent, which helps the user monitor the progress. Ideal for those worried about over exposure, or for those that want to get just the right tone.

Bronzing Agent: it is important to always check the ratio of bronzing agent before purchasing the application. This plays a vital role in achieving that beautiful sun kissed look. The higher the quantity of bronzing agent leads to deeper tanning.

As basking in the sun dries out the skin an awful lot, it is good to protect it from too much moisture loss. As such, products with skin conditioners in them are always good to use. Further than this too, using after sun treatments help to lock in color, soothe damaged skin and replenish essential moisture too.

It is great fun to bathe beneath the sun for a while, but care is needed of course. Selecting the best tanning lotion for your body type is essential in this regard. It may take a little time though, as what works for some will not work for all. So being extra careful through this time is advisable.
