Ever since health authorities in the 1960s announced that exposure to ultra violet rays from the sun is dangerous and can cause skin cancer, people have turned to self tanning solutions. Early self tanning products were a little on the orange side, but thanks to new technologies modern self tanners look perfect and realistic. Giesee Sun Self Tanning Lotion is one of the best self tanners on the market. It works quickly, looks natural and provides a long lasting tan.

All of the better self tanners use a chemical called dihydroxyacetone, or DHA for short. DHA is a naturally occurring chemical that comes from sugar beet. It is harmless and does not stain the skin or alter pigmentation in anyway. The FDA have approved DHA for use in self tanners, but recommend that they contain below 14 percent DHA.

Dihydroroxyacetone reactions with the skins surface making it darker. The results are extremely natural look and the effects last for a long time. Products that contain a higher level of the chemical produce darker results. Giesee has a range of tanners that can produce light to dark tans.

Because Dihydroroxyacetone creates a chemical reaction with dead skin cells that cover the body it is vital to exfoliate before applying tanners for best results. Exfoliate ensures that the skin is even and older dead skin is removed, otherwise the tan may look patchy when the older cells fall off. Moisturising the skin after exfoliating will slow down the removal of dead cells making the tan last for a longer period of time.

Regular users of self tanners should exfoliate at least once between each tanning session. This way tans will last longer and will look nice, smooth and even. Just like you live in the tropics!

Self tanners are easy to apply. DHA does not stain the skin or alter skin pigments in any way, it also will not stain clothing although most people prefer to be naked when applying the tanner. It also will not damage the hair so a shower cap is not necessary. After the tanner has been applied it is fine to towel dry right away, this will not stain the towel or remove any of the tanner.

For best results it is wise to avoid washing or doing any physical exercise for at least 4 hours after applying the tanner. Otherwise water and sweat may stop it working so well. It usually takes just one day for the tan to take full effect, although some skin types may need a little longer. The effects can be seen in just a few hours. Giesee tanners are fine for those who have sensitive skin, although those with certain skin conditions such as eczema should seek some medical advice before using a self tanning lotion.

Tanning lotions are available as sprays, lotions and creams. Sprays tend to better at producing a more even tan, and they are easier to apply. Giesee produce their excellent products in spray form. Regular users of tanners can save money by buying in larger quantities. Have a look online for Giesee Sun Self Tanning Lotion and find a deal that is perfect for you.
