Today the Self Tanning Kits that allow individuals to get a tan without using the sun have seen great improvements since the 60s. For the consumer, this is great news, as consumers learn more about the damage caused by too many UV rays from the sun or artificial lamps. Perhaps the greatest difficulty in selecting Self Tanning Kits will be finding the one that is best for one's individual skin.

Self Tanning Kits are formulated for a light, medium or dark tan. Self Tanning Kits should be selected by choosing a shade appropriate for one's own skin tones. Fair completed individuals who have significant problems in tanning should choose the light product. Those who have a darker complexion, should choose a darker product. Many manufactures are offering some in between tones for those who have difficult matching one of the other three. One may need to apply several different products to find the best for his or her circumstances.

While more expensive than the gels and lotions, the airbrush Self Tanning Kits are one of the most popular. These Self Tanning Kits include an airgun that is used to spray the color on your body. If a consumer finds this process too intimidating to do for himself, it is also possible to have the spray done in a salon. Buying this product for yourself and learning the appropriate way to apply it will save money in the end. Airbrushing gives the most natural looking tan.

Most of these Self Tanning Kits do not provide protection from the damage caused by the sun. Even though a person has a beautiful tan, he or she will still need a good sunscreen for protection from the UV rays. A bad sunburn can cause the skin to peal and ruin the effect of the spray tan. When the skin peels, the product will be lost.

DHA is the active ingredient in all these Self Tanning Kits. It causes the skin's pigments to darken to a tan that looks like it was caused by the sun. For the most natural look the product should be applied evenly.

The different methods of applying Self Tanning Kits all have advantages as well as disadvantages and consumers may develop a preference for a particular type of product. While lotions and creams are the oldest, there are also moist towelettes and sprays available. Many like the sprays as they make it easier to coat the back or other difficult to reach areas.

No matter what one's choice in, it is essential that the coating be even for the most satisfactory look. Consumers should pay close attention to the printed directions for use of the product. There may be cautions and warnings that apply to a particular user. Other helpful hints can ensure proper development of the color from the product.

While there are several good Self Tanning Kits, consumers may need to try a few to find the appropriate one. This way of getting a tan can allow the individual to have a golden glow without the damage caused by extended time in the sun. It is a safer alternative for anyone wanting to get rid of the pale skin of winter.
