"Sun sprays and tanning lotions can make your skin tanned, without exposing it to a harmful ultraviolet (UV) of the Sun radiation," the Harvard Women's Health Watch journal writes. "When you sunbathe, ultraviolet rays force the skin to produce a protective pigment melanin, which manifests itself in the form of a tan - this increases the risk of developing skin cancer and speeds up aging. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that the means for the auto market as an alternative to the sun in the sun and in the solarium. " He studied the question and found out how to correctly read the composition of the auto market and how to apply it.
Safe composition of auto markets
The active ingredient of all these products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) - a color additive, often obtained from plant sources, approved by the FDA at a concentration of 3-5% of the volume for an artificial tan. DHA binds to proteins in the upper layer of the skin, causing its darkening through temporary staining. Thicker, rich in protein parts of your skin will be stronger, so for a more evenlyer coating, you should first learn the skin of the elbows, knees and ankles, for example, with a washcloth, sponge or lufa. Since the process of staining occurs only in surface layers of the skin, your "tan" will last until these layers remain on your body - from five to seven days. After they are exhausting naturally, you will need to re-use the means.
Doubtful ingredients
Although auto markets are usually considered a safe cosmetic agent and adding ingredients acting on deep layers of skin to its composition, legally prohibited in Russia, still there were few studies to assess the effect of its use on the skin and health in general. One study referenced by Harvard Women's Health Watch showed that dihydroxyacetone (DHA) added to skin cells damaged DNA cells, which assumes that additional research is needed before DHA can be declared a safe ingredient for long-term use. DHA is currently approved only for outdoor use, with the exception of lips, eyes, ears, nose and mucous membranes.
Some products for auto markets are sold in the form of tablets containing cantaxanthine, dye used in food products. These pills are not safe. When admission in the amount recommended for the tanning, cantaxantine can give the skin orange-brown color, and it is known that it lays color in other parts of the body, such as the retina of the eye. Cactacantine can also cause diarrhea, nausea, stomach spasms, as well as liver problems.
How to apply taut exchanger
If you have not previously used an artificial tan, make a small sample behind the ear 24 hours before the procedure. Experience the skin with a washcloth or dry brush, removing dead cages - pay special attention to the knees, elbows and ankles. Some people like to first moisten dry areas, such as legs, knees and elbows, cream before applying a tan - but let him absorb at least ten minutes before using an artificial tan. Apply a tanning lotion or spray in parts and distribute the remedy with a circular movement using a special mittens. Wipe the joints of the joints, such as knees and elbows, a wet towel or a napkin for the face, since these sites tend to absorb more product. Make sure you give your skin enough time to dry - wait at least 10 minutes. As soon as the artificial tan is completely dry, before entering the sun, apply sunscreen cream on the skin - cosmetics does not protect against burning.
