BIO SKIN CARE

Tanning creams are products that give the skin a darker color, regardless of direct sunlight. Because they cause chemical reactions in skin surface: the tanning agent DHA, the dihydroxyacetone, penetrates into the skin, but without going deep. Here the mechanism of action of self-tanning creams, which are currently on the market in different product types: spray, cream, gel, moisturizing or toning. There’s something for everyone. The action of these products is not permanent: indeed, after a week or abundant, skin tends to take back its natural color, since the surface skin cells are renewed continuously.

What is certain is that it does not contain any chemicals, but that only leads to chemical reactions. Certainly, reactions that would not occur naturally, but do not penetrate deeply and therefore the least do not harm the skin permanently. Everyone is free to decide whether to subject their skin to this type of treatment. The self-tanning creams are divided mainly into two macro-categories: those reserved for the face and those applicable to the whole body.

How to apply

The self-tanning creams should be applied following the precise instructions, to make sure you get the desired effect, evenly across the skin. Before applying the product, if you are using a cream for the body, it is best to do a scrub (treatment to eliminate dead cells), so be sure that the product does not act on cell surface already compromised. If we are going to use a self-tanning cream for the face, make sure you clean it with cleansing milk or with tonic. It is also important to stretch before applying the product, a moisturizing cream. It make the skin even in its natural color and be confident, therefore, the result after applying the product. With just ten minutes of stabilization then you can proceed. Always start with very little product, so after a couple of hours, we can evaluate the result and if you are not satisfied you can proceed with a second pass, and possibly even a third. The reverse process is of course impossible. The application of the cream should be in moderation but with a certain speed, always trying, especially in the face, fade out.

When not using them

In principle, self-tanning creams can be used in any situation and any person. There are some circumstances, however, in what should be avoided, not because it would prove harmful or dangerous, but why not provide the desired effect. The first case that is worth mentioning is when the skin begins to peel. Use the cream in this situation is highly recommended. We said that Eassie acts in epidermal surface. But if this is in a state of change (stripping) it is clear that the product may not act uniformly, given the diversity of the area concerned. Also, if we wish to apply the product then underwent a shower, it is right that we know that rubbing contribute to the removal of the sponge cell surface. So, inevitably, the effect of cream will be less. Finally, it is very important to remember that’s definitely not a self-tanning after sun. Returning from a day at the beach, at the end of which we are very red and hydrated, it is more advisable than a moisturizing after-sun cream of this type

How to choose

When choosing a product to be applied on our body, is synonymous with intelligence and respect always well informed about the characteristics of what we want to get in touch with our bodies. Regarding self-tanning creams, you should always remember that miracles do not and do not last forever. Not only that, they do not affect all equally. The effect is achieved clearly depends on skin pigmentation. People very clear complexion will necessarily repeat the application several times than those with dark skins and amber. Also consider a self-tanning as a sunscreen against solar radiation is completely wrong. These products are not in fact stimulating the melanin (which gives protection to the skin). Let us always remember these precise instructions so as not to put the body in difficult conditions. Alright take care of the aesthetic, but not at the expense of health which must necessarily remain our priority.

On the market today are different brands and types of self-tanning creams. In recent years, these products are much improved compared to the first rudimentary attempts that did not provide any way to homogeneity. Many companies are then involved in the production of creams like this: Dior Bronze, Garnier Ambre Solaire, L’Oréal, Clarins, Collistar, Bottega Verde. Creams were added to sprays, gels and even the self-tanning wipes.
