Tanning Solutions That Work Well on Pale Skin

At the beginning of the last century, in the days before Coco Chanel caught to much sun on a friend’s yacht, a pale complexion was considered the height of beauty. Women would rigorously protect themselves against even the weakest of rays with hats and parasols, and those lucky enough to have a naturally pale complexion were the envy of their peers.

But that was a hundred years ago, and ideals of beauty have changed. Now, the fairer-skinned members of the fairer sex, and their male counterparts are often left regarding their lack of pigmentation with despair, wondering how they can ever compete in the beauty stakes against the bronze-skinned legions who surround them.

The answer, of course, is sunless-tanning. It’s not just that it’s a safer, healthier, less time-consuming and less futile alternative to trying to tan milk-white skin with UV rays. Thanks to the industry’s unstinting investment in R&D and the tireless efforts of its scientists, today's advanced Sunless Tanning Solutions are guaranteed to bring a healthy, sun-kissed glow to even the most porcelain-complexioned among us.

But there are some things to consider before reaching for the nearest bottle of self-tanning solution and slapping it on in an effort to fulfill that longing for a darker, more striking you.

Proper application is the key to successful sunless tanning. Once you have decided how dark you want to go, the trick is to layer up, one application at a time, whether with a self-tanning or airbrush tanning solution.

There are two reasons for this. The first is that different sunless tanning products come with varying levels of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the ingredient that causes darkening of the skin. Higher levels of DHA produce more rapid coloration and result in darker tans. This can cause patchiness on fair skin, so the best self-tanning solution for you is one with low DHA (we’ll recommend some in just a minute) and, as we said, layer up.

The second is simply that a drastic leap from Snow White to Pocahontas is more likely to raise eyebrows than raising your stock in the beauty game.
