Do not want to part with a dark skin tone in the cold season? An artificial tan is what you need. Indeed, not everyone can afford trips to hot countries in winter. In short, artificial tanning is a simple and convenient solution. The main thing is to know how to properly use such tools.
Artificial tan - very popular
So, more details. Artificial tan managed to gain considerable popularity among the fair sex for quite some time. However, pretty quickly she began to decline. The thing is that many women do not know how to use tanning. Few people manage to choose the right shade, take the right amount of funds, evenly distribute it over the body, not forgetting about some parts of the body. For example, about the ears.
Varieties
Artificial tanning is very convenient. You just need to decide on the most suitable tool for you. Among them: bronzers, pills, accelerators.
Bronzers are applied in beauty salons by professional masters. This procedure is not for beginners. It requires perfectly even application. This tool works due to ordinary staining, is easily washed off and used, as a rule, for one evening. It is washed off with a shower gel and body scrub immediately after the event.
Pills are taken orally. They contain a special pigment that penetrates the tissues of the body and gives the skin a wide variety of shades - from brown to light chocolate. The result is dose dependent.
However, this tool has very serious contraindications for regular use. Canthaxatin (a pigment derived from beta-carotene) can be deposited in the retina, causing vision problems over time. For this reason, they are banned in many countries of Western Europe.
Accelerators tanning enhance the effect of ultraviolet radiation. They are also banned in many countries due to the lack of compelling evidence of their safety. One of the most common accelerators is tyrosine, an externally used amino acid. It enhances the synthesis of melanin - the pigment that stains the skin when tanning.
The safest and easiest way to achieve a swarthy is with the help of car bronzers. Beauticians say that these products are not only harmful, but, on the contrary, even safer than natural tanning.
They are available in various forms: spray, milk, cream. Products are applied to the skin very easily. In most cases, they contain various plant extracts. Due to this, they have a pleasant smell, moisturize, protect and nourish the skin. Age-related funds even tighten it.
Skin color changes due to dihydroxyacetone, which is part of it. Darkening occurs literally a few hours after applying the product. In this case, only the upper layers of the skin are painted. The tan is washed off as the upper scales are exfoliated.
In principle, it lasts about a week. However, much also depends on the features of skin care. For example, on how often you use a scrub. Autobronzers are produced today for both the face and body.
Application Rules
Artificial tanning reviews about yourself receive the most diverse. Positive - with the correct application of the product. Negative - if wrong. So, how is tanning applied?
First of all, you need to take a hot bath and use a scrub to cleanse the skin of dead cells. After half an hour, the body cools. This is required so that all pores are in the same condition. Otherwise, the open pores are stained more intensely.
Hair is removed from the neck and face. Lips and eyebrows are lubricated with a special cream for protection. Self-tanning should be tried on a small area of skin that is invisible to others in order to look at the effect.
The product is applied in a thin layer and is evenly distributed throughout the body with massage movements. True, in order to apply tanning on the back, someone will need help. After use, wash your hands immediately so that neither your palms nor your nails turn yellow.
If after a few hours the shade is too light, you can apply another thin layer. The main thing is not to use the cream in a thick layer immediately. Otherwise, uniformity will suffer. In a word: less is better, but better. In order for the product to completely absorb, you need to wait about an hour.
Tip
One of the most famous and good manufacturing companies is Clarins. An artificial tan created by the means of this company delights the fair sex. Do not just tell others that this is not a true pigment of your skin. If you don’t say it, no one will guess anything.
Warnings
A tanning concentrate can cause rashes and other irritations. Be sure to take an allergy test first.
Never mix several different tanning products. Such mixing can simply burn the skin.
Some products protect the skin from the sun. However, do not forget that after washing off an artificial tan, the skin no longer saves from ultraviolet radiation.
