Sunless Tanning refers to the process of getting a tan sans the sun. This process is much safer as compared to conventional tanning process which has been linked to skin cancer. Certain chemicals are used for this process and these can be applied by an individual at home. The color change initiated by these chemicals can last anywhere between a couple of days and two weeks.

Sunless Tanning refers to the process of getting a tan sans the sun. This process is much safer as compared to conventional tanning process which has been linked to skin cancer. Certain chemicals are used for this process and these can be applied by an individual at home. The color change initiated by these chemicals can last anywhere between a couple of days and two weeks.

Products such as lotions, gels, sprays and mousses etc are available in market that can be used for this purpose. These are absorbed by the body within few hours time. Skin at different body parts tends to have different rates of absorption. Hence, the instructions related to their usage should be read properly before starting their usage. Some information on how it is performed is provided here.

Certain chemicals make up the major part of most of these products. One of such chemicals is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Popularly known as DHA in medical fraternity, it leads to providing the skin the required tan. Different skin types have been known to maintain this tan for different time periods. However, the average duration considering different skin types is of around 7 days.


Sometimes, another chemical compound known as erythrulose is combined with DHA to provide tan that stays longer. The tan produced by combination of these two is slow to develop. But it stays for comparatively longer duration when compared to that of DHA based products.

It is advised by most experts that one should test these products on a small patch of skin to begin with. In case these are allergic to the skin, one may come to know about the same much before serious damage takes place. Consulting an expert physician before starting their usage is always a good option. If the product is found to be non allergic, it can be readily applied on skin. A spray is much easier to use and can be used with little external help.

Smart facilities are available at high tech spas for getting tanned. The kits available with them are highly efficient in applying a uniform tan all over the body. These spas comply with FDA guidelines as well. If required, one may check out with them about the procedure by which the guidelines are met.

Temporary bronzers too, have become popular in recent times. These can give a dark tan pretty quickly, but get washed away with water. Another aspect of their usage is that wearing close fitting clothes can result in a rub-off which is quite visible. To prevent this from happening, one should avoid snug clothing while wearing a temporary tan.

It can also get ruined by skin-hugging clothes and hence, combining these two needs to be avoided. Moisturizers with tanning agents can be used for getting a tan gradually.

One may go for any one of the numerous sunless tanning methods that are available. It has to be noted that water and tanning products are not good bedfellows. Hence, their contact should be avoided at all costs to maintain the tan.
