Bronzer Indoor Tanning Lotion
Choosing a Bronzer Indoor Tanning Lotion
Americans seem to love to get tanned and will go to
great lengths to turn Caucasian white skin to a nice
golden brown or a deep rich bronze. Those lengths will
include lying in the sun for hours, baking under a
tanning bed, or going for a “fake tan” with a bronzer.
Indoor tanning lotion is on way to achieve a tan, but
some find the use of a bronzer to simply be quicker and
easier. There are less health risks when one uses a
bronzer. Indoor tanning lotion requires the use of a
tanning bed or booth which uses UV light to tan the
skin. UV light has been linked with all manner of health
problems from simple dry skin and premature aging to
cataracts, blindness, and skin cancer.
A bronzer is a cream, lotion, or powder which tans the
skin artificially. This is nothing like the Coppertone
QT Quick Tanning lotion that was introduced in 1960.
While that particular product proved adept at turning
skin an interesting shade of Oompa Loompa orange,
today’s bronzers don’t just stain the skin a faux tan
color.
Instead a chemical compound has a reaction with the
cells of the top layer of skin, causing an oxidation
process which changes the color of the skin. The process
takes anywhere from forty five minutes to a couple of
hours. The tan provided by a bronzer will last about
three weeks before it starts to fade. People who want to
maintain a tanned appearance will need to continuously
reapply the bronzer. Indoor tanning lotions can’t make
claims like that!
The fact that bronzers actually cause a chemical
reaction has led some to question whether they are safe
to use. Unlike tanning pills, which darken the skin with
large doses of a food additive and have not been
approved for use as a tanning agent by the Food & Drug
Administration, bronzers have not been found to be
harmful or cause problems of any kind. A bronzer will
make your skin appear tanned and that is all it will do.
And the QT orange is a thing of the past. A bronzer’s
tan looks like a real and completely natural tan.
Bronzers are a good choice for people who want a tanned
appearance but who do not have the time or wish to spend
the time lounging in the sun or roasting to a tanning
booth. The products have been proven to be safe and
provide a temporary tanning solution that looks very
realistic.
Given the information it would seem there really is no
choice between a bronzer/indoor tanning lotion, but the
truth is that far more people opt for indoor tanning
than bronzers. It may be that they prefer a “real” tan
or feel that the act of applying the bronzer may be too
difficult, but whatever the reason, people would rather
go through multiple tanning sessions than use a bronzer
only once. To each his own, right? Right.
