Whether you are a DIY sunless tanner or a tanning salon owner, you want the best sunless tanning products, or spray tanning products out there. But there are so many options- how do you know which is the best? Follow our easy guide listed step by step below to find the best product or brand for you!
1) First, you must determine what you are looking for. If you are looking for gels or lotions, there will be some differences than if you are looking for sunless tanning solution, which is used in spray tanning.
2) The primary ingredient that you will be looking for in the tanning solutions will be DHA, or dihydroxyacetone. This is the most active ingredient in getting your skin to darken and tan. Often associated with an orange tint and a strong odor, this can easily be offset by the type of solution you choose and the accompanying fragrance you would like. To choose the best color of solution, you must simply try various colors. Everybody’s skin is different, and thus reacts differently. The good news is that you will need to add a new layer of solution about every five to seven days, so you can change the solution if you were not a fan of your last color choice.
3) By now you should have decided on if you want to go with a lotion or gel, or with a spray tan. Each one has its pros and cons. If you go with spray tanning at home, you will need airbrush tanning equipment, which simply consists of the airbrush itself and the tanning solution you would like to use. The pros of this approach is the ease and the lack of time required to put it on, even if you decide to go to a tanning salon. Either way, no effort is required from you. The cons include this being a typically more pricy package, since another person is working for you. Also, some people don’t enjoy the time spent at the salon, so this could be considered a con as well.. If you decide to go with a lotion, the pros include that this is typically cheaper and easier to obtain than spray tanning. However, it does have more of a possibility of being applied unevenly, or not being applied smoothly, which could result in an uneven tan. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into lotion tanning as well, such as constant reapplication.
Those are the main decisions that go into sunless tanning! The brands are your choice, although it is recommended to go with well-known names such as Artesian Tan for the most trustworthy products. Follow the above rules and you will have a sunless tan in just 45 minutes!
