Faux tan is very popular
So, more details. Artificial tan has managed to gain considerable popularity among the fair sex for quite a long time. However, it declined rather quickly.

Varieties
Faux tan is very convenient. You just need to decide on the most suitable tool for you. Among them: bronzers, pills, accelerators.
Bronzers are applied in beauty salons by professional craftsmen. This procedure is not for beginners. It requires a perfectly even application. This toolworks due to ordinary staining, is easily washed off and is used, as a rule, for one evening. Wash off with shower gel and body scrub immediately after the event.
Pills are taken orally. They contain a special pigment that penetrates the tissues of the body and gives the skin a wide variety of shades - from brown to light chocolate. The result depends on the dose.
However, this remedy has very serious contraindications for regular use. Canthaxatin (a pigment derived from beta-carotene) can deposit in the retina, causing vision problems over time. For this reason, they are banned in many Western European countries.
Tanning accelerators enhance the effect of ultraviolet radiation. They are also banned in many countries due to a lack of conclusive safety data. One of the most common accelerators is tyrosine, a topical amino acid. It enhances the synthesis of melanin, the pigment that colors the skin when tanned.
The safest and easiest way to achieve swarthy is with the help of auto bronzers. Cosmetologists say that these products are not only not more harmful, but, on the contrary, even safer than natural tanning.
They are produced in various forms: spray, milk, cream. The products are very easy to apply on the skin. In most cases, they contain various plant extracts. Due to this, they have a pleasant smell, moisturize, protect and nourish the skin. Age remedies even tighten it up.
Skin color changes due to dihydroxyacetone, which is part of it. Darkening occurs literally a few hours after application of the product. In this case, only the upper layers of the skin are stained. The tan is washed off as the upper scales are exfoliated.
In principle, it lasts about a week. However, much also depends on the characteristics of skin care. For example, on how often you use the scrub. Auto bronzers are available today for both face and body.
