Tanning creams are products that can be used to achieve a dark skin tone without going outside. It is a safe alternative to harmful UV rays. There are two types of creams with the “tanning without tanning” effect. And their operating principles are different.
Self-tanning (bronzer, bronzer, auto-bronzant). This product contains a substance that reacts with skin cells, as a result of which they acquire a golden or bronze hue. The effect lasts for several days until the cells begin to peel off naturally.
Bronzer. Tinting cream gives the skin dark shade due to special pigments. The fake tan lasts until your first shower.
The mechanism of operation of bronzers
Bronzers have been on the market for decades. But self-tanners of the past cannot be called an ideal cosmetic product: the color turned out to be unnatural, with a yellow or orange tint, stained, and washed off even worse.
Despite the fact that the same active substance still plays the main role today, modern auto-bronzants do not repeat the “mistakes of youth” and have significantly improved both the speed of tanning and its quality.
In modern self-tanners, DHA is supplemented with components that can provide a quick, uniform and natural shade. Nuances fake tan depend on the characteristics of the natural pigment melanin and skin pH. And the degree of color saturation is from DHA concentrations in the formula.
DHA 1-3%. Minimum concentration active component Gives the skin a light golden tint. This dosage is typical for lotions for daily care behind the body with a gradual tanning effect.
DHA 3-5%. The optimal concentration used in most self-tanners creates a universal shade of medium intensity.
DHA 5-8% and higher. A high concentration of dihydroxyacetone colors the epidermis in the color of dark bronze or chocolate. This artificial tan looks natural only on naturally dark skin.
Self-tanners are produced in the form of cream, milk, lotion, gel, spray, serum and wipes. They can have an additional tinting effect for an immediate effect, as well as the function of maximum control during application. Fake tan reaches its peak after 3-5 hours and begins to fade after 2-3 days.
Precautionary measures
It has been proven that dihydroxyacetone is harmless to the body and does not penetrate deeper than the stratum corneum of the epidermis. It is important to remember that auto-bronzants do not contain SPF and do not contribute to the production of the natural pigment melanin. This means that the skin “under the cover” of artificial tanning remains defenseless against ultraviolet radiation.

Features and Benefits
Beautiful women's legs have always been the object of men's attention. Unfortunately, the skin on our legs does not always look the way we would like it to. Some people have pale skin from birth, sometimes giving off a slight bluish tint; others have overly sensitive and delicate skin that reacts to any cosmetic procedures redness and irritation. Ladies average age group complain about capillary networks and venous “stars”, which do not add attractiveness to the lower extremities.
As it turns out, foot foundation is not a new product developed by modern cosmetology centers. This product was popular even in the post-war period. After World War II nylon tights were in great short supply, so women began to use foot creams with a masking effect.
Foundations are often confused or compared to self-tanners. In part, indeed, both products are similar: they hide various imperfections of the skin, even out the color and make the skin darker. This is typical for a dark tone foundation with a bronze tint. However, unlike self-tanning, which has a cumulative effect and is difficult to remove, foundations will make your legs look perfect after a one-time use; they are easily washed off with regular soap or shower gels. Even waterproof, leave-in cream can be easily washed off with ordinary products.
