Self tanning is a convenient way of giving the skin a darker shade. There are many different ways to self tan and for the most part, all of these methods work. Some of them are even highly preferred over tanning in the sun. This is because some of these self tanning methods used are lot easier to access and safer than the sun. Many methods of self tanning exists but the employed include: pills, air brushing, lotions and tanning beds. These methods are not all considered as safe. In fact some of them are not approved by any medical practitioner, nor are they considered safer for general use than the sun. Of all the self tanning methods mentioned above; lotions and air brushing rank as the safest while pills and tanning beds rank as the least safe. To make the best choice in a self tanning method or agent, use the details below to make the most suitable choice for you. Lotions: these come in the form of bronzers or gradual skin darkeners. The bronzers add a light temporary film over the skin, while the lotions penetrate the epidermis. They stimulate the increased secretion of melanin in the epidermis of the skin and thus cause darkening.  Pills: these cause increased secretion of melanin in the skin, just like some tanning lotions. The mechanism of darkening is unclear and therefore the use of pills is not supported by doctors. Also of importance is that the FDA does not endorse the pills available for self tanning. Air brushing: this is one of the best ways to tan. An air brush is used to spray a light layer of self tanning lotion or solution on top of the skin. The result is a smooth, bronzed look. Tanning Beds: these emit UV rays and darken the skin color via these rays. Some argue that these UV rays are no safer than those emitted by the sun. They argue that this method is only more convenient but just as damaging and therefore do not recommend it. Numerous self tanning methods exist. It is ultimately up to the consumer what method they will use. However, one must take into consideration that not all the self tanning methods are safe. Choose the safest method, they work just as well as other, less safe methods and will have you looking just as good.
