Tanning cream

Tanning is a life-saving tool, when you need to prepare your body for the summer, but there is no time at all, or exposure to the sun's rays on the skin is not as safe as we would like. Cream-bronzer perfectly copes with its task: it covers the whole body with an even shade, and additionally cares for the skin.

On how to properly apply tanning, reviews and tips you will see from the video.

The cream, which gives the skin a smooth shade, coloring it, appeared in the late 70s, at the peak of fashion tanned, bronze body.

Tanning cream contains an active pigment that gets on the skin, reacts and colors it. It works quite simply: depending on the composition itself, the paint can appear immediately, after a few hours or gradually, over several weeks.

The tool has a thick texture, and in the composition is used not only the coloring pigment, but also caring components: oil extracts, fruit acids and microminerals. It is suitable for dry and normal skin. The main difference between cream and other types of bronzers is its long lasting effect. The coloring pigment darkens on the skin gradually, manifesting in stages. It gives an even tanning effect and a natural shade on the skin. The pigment is kept on the body for several weeks, but it must be fixed, repeating the procedure twice a week.

Tanning can be used for many reasons: someone is contraindicated to be in the sun, someone can not get the chocolate color naturally, and for someone sunbathing is a real punishment. However, with artificial colors, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to remember. The advantages of creamy autogas include:

• Nice texture. The cream is pleasant to apply, has a sweet aroma, as it contains not only coloring pigments (which have a chemical smell), but also natural oils with plant extracts. Apply this composition easily.
• Even tan. Due to the nutritional basis, the cream is absorbed a little longer than usual, which makes it possible to grind it over the entire surface of the body before it is absorbed. The oils in the composition penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, and the coloring pigment falls flat and lasts longer than usual.
• Long effect. Tanning cream appears during the week (a little longer than lotions and sprays), but this gives its advantage: with a gradual darkening, the tool also gradually disappears, and to support tanning is sufficient by applying the cream once a week.
• The ability to adjust the application. Since the composition appears gradually, you can see the smallest discrepancies, somewhere to remove excess, somewhere to re-apply. With a cream base, you can even gently scrub the skin.
• Skin nutrition and hydration. The epithelium receives not only a smooth summer shade, but also nutrition, which is very important for the sensitive and dehydrated dermis. In addition, on a healthy and smooth skin that is moisturized, the tan is smoother.

By cons include:

• Manifests itself through time. The effect will have to wait for seven days. Coloring pigments show their property gradually, without a sharp transition. Sometimes the effect may be too weak - this applies to cases where the shade of a bronzer is chosen correctly.
• Not suitable for oily dermis - cream base has a dense texture, which may be too heavy for oily skin. In addition, if you apply the cream incorrectly, even on normal skin, the pores may stain, so you should carefully choose the type of tanning.
• Leaves a film on the body. Due to synthetic components, it can cause discomfort and a feeling of stickiness. With this effect, it is better to pick up a lighter texture.
• Colors clothes. Since self-tanning cream is not immediately absorbed, you need to wait until it is fully absorbed by half an hour to put on your clothes. Otherwise, the excess can remain on the fabric and paint it yellow.
• Also, remember that tanning harmful to people whose skin is prone to allergic reactions and subject to frequent rash. In this case, you can use the alternative - a tanning service in the solarium.

To easily pick up tanning, you must remember your preferences. As a rule, manufacturers always use special designations for skin color type. Let's sort the main tags:

• «light"- this marker is present on products that have a slight degree of body color. These tanners are designed specifically for white-skinned girls. As a rule, they have sensitive thin dermis with a pale shade. Bronzers of this color type have pinkish shades, do not create strong transitions on the skin and look natural;
• «medium"- the designation for the average tone of body color. Pigments in the media with this label, appears faster than light. Designed for fair-haired, brown-haired girls, whose epidermis has a yellowish tint. Bronzers paint the skin even, peach tone and have a large selection of transitions;
• «dark"- used by girls, with dark body color and dark hair. Coloring pigment appears quickly. On a light body, without pre-tanning washes leave dark streaks. Manifestations of the emulsion on the skin sharply, so manufacturers recommend to prepare the skin for such tanning several trips to the solarium. Otherwise, tan can look unnatural.

In order to have the same shade on the face and body, it is necessary to buy a universal remedy suitable for the whole body. If this possibility does not appear, then one manufacturer should be chosen. The rules for applying the cream at home are quite simple:

• Before using a bronzer, the skin must be prepared - clean the face from cosmetics;
• take a bath and apply a scrub on the whole body;
• wait about 30 minutes for the pores on the body and face to narrow;
• apply a moisturizing gel on dry skin (elbows, hands, and knees, so that they do not darken when using tanning);
• distribute the cream evenly over the whole body and face. The face should be avoided around the eyes, eyebrows and hair roots. On dry areas of the body you need to use a minimum of tanning;
• wait until fully absorbed (usually about 15 minutes).

If the product has stained the skin (this happens with severe dryness or insufficient cleaning of the epithelium before applying bronzer), then it is better to take a hot bath - so the pores will open and the skin will soften. After this, it is necessary to wipe areas of the body that are unevenly colored with a sponge. This method allows you to remove tanning from the skin in one application. In addition, it is an additional way of deep scrubbing.
