How to tan without a solarium

How to get a beautiful shade without the slightest harm to the skin

Sunbathing is useful, but to the extent that in the summer, having seized the long-awaited warmth, many neglect it. Yes, ultraviolet radiation stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D. However, to produce the required “dose”, it is enough to spend only 15 minutes in the air. But a quarter of an hour is clearly not enough to get a beautiful tan. It’s good that the modern cosmetics industry offers a solution to this beauty puzzle. And not even one.

Self tanning in the shower

No one has yet canceled the good old self-tanning. Year after year, the smell of these products becomes less pungent, the texture becomes lighter, and the result becomes more natural. The buzz of this summer is self-tanning for use right in the shower. It was released by the leader of the solar market - the Lancaster brand. Self Tan Beauty lotion is applied after the shower gel and washed off exactly after a minute. For a perfectly even shade, the manufacturer recommends using the scrub twice a week. That's it! The advantages of the new product are obvious: saving time. After all, you can get dressed immediately after a shower without fear of getting your clothes dirty.

Self-tanning wipes

Another easiest self-tanning format to use is wipes. Along with coloring components, they contain exfoliating particles, which means they simultaneously polish the skin and provide an even golden tint. Two wipes are enough to apply to the entire body.

Gradual tanning cream

If you are not confident that you can evenly distribute the required amount of product over the skin the first time, then a gradual tanning cream is for you. It contains fewer coloring components, which means that any flaws are not so bad. Apply every day to clean, dry skin, and when the shade reaches the ideal shade, replace it with a classic moisturizer.

Spray bronzer

Haze Terracotta Spray with SPF 10, Guerlain

The most democratic and non-binding way to instantly get tanned skin without the slightest harm or danger of getting burned. A couple of sprays and you're done! At the same time, the product dries instantly, does not stain clothes and, most importantly, is easily washed off with warm water. So in the evening you can easily get rid of this kind of “makeup”.

Hollywood tan

The procedure is carried out in the salon. The cosmetologist sprays a special professional spray on the skin, evenly covering all areas. The shade appears in full within a few hours and lasts for a couple of weeks. The first day it is not recommended to swim or get caught in the rain.

BB body cream

For many girls, tanning (artificial or natural) is primarily a way to hide minor imperfections such as redness, spider veins and inflammation. If you are one of them, then perhaps you will be quite satisfied with a BB cream for the body. It gives your skin a healthy glow, doesn't stain your clothes (but you still have to wait a few minutes), and covers up anything you don't want to show.

In summer, the skin becomes covered with a beautiful golden tan, emphasizing the slimness of the figure and the depth of the eyes.

How to deal with pale face and neck

Tanned skin was not always considered a sign of beauty - there were times when people deliberately hid from the sun to prevent darkening of the face. However, in the collection of folk recipes there are tips to help you tan without the sun and harm to your health. If the only question is to give a golden hue to small areas: the face, neck and décolleté, then use a wash and masks.

1. Pour a little water into the cocoa powder and make a not very thick porridge. For dry skin, add a little peach or olive oil. The duration of the procedure is 15–20 minutes.
2. Prepare a paste of red henna powder and apply the mixture to the skin for no more than 10 minutes.
3. Grate young carrots on a fine grater, add sour cream, kefir or oil (depending on skin type) to the puree and distribute the mixture on the skin, rinse off after 20 minutes with warm water. This recipe is not suitable for very light skin tones!
4. Squeeze the juice from the rhubarb roots and add a few drops to any mask or cream. Use regularly.
5. Wash your face with a strong decoction of tea or coffee, and if you want to save time, prepare ice cubes from these drinks and wipe your face and neck with them in the mornings and evenings before applying the cream.
6. You can also make cubes from rhubarb juice or its decoction, as well as from infusions of string and chamomile, but ice procedures cannot be carried out on cold-sensitive skin and nearby blood vessels.

Water treatments: sunless tanning baths

If you enjoy soaking in warm water, try tanning your skin at home with simple but effective water treatments. This method is especially good if you need to tan completely and without streaks, for example, before going to a resort or an important date.

Coffee and tea baths

Brew strong coffee in plenty of water - one procedure will require at least 10 teaspoons of ground beans. There is no need to choose elite varieties for this purpose; a product at the lowest price will do. Leave the drink to steep for a short time, and at this time fill the bath with water and pour the brown liquid into the bath.

Do not throw away the coffee grounds, add a little vegetable oil to it and apply the mixture to the body, using it as a scarab. After this, immerse yourself in coffee water and relax for 15-20 minutes. You can add essential oil to the water to combine tanning with aromatherapy. After a bath, do not take a shower, but blot the moisture with a towel and apply cream or milk to your skin.

Using the same principle, you can prepare a bath with tea. Just don’t skimp on the tea leaves and don’t buy low-quality tea - it may contain artificial colors, the effect of which on the skin is not always favorable.

Vegetable and herbal treatments

1. To get a rich carrot tan, add at least two liters of fresh natural carrot juice to the water. It is best to prepare the drink yourself rather than buy a chemical product at the store.
2. Rhubarb baths are another reliable and quick way to give your body a rich chocolate shade. A decoction for this purpose is prepared from the rhizome of the plant. It is important to consider that for dry skin, it is recommended to add vegetable oil to the water to avoid tightness and discomfort.
3. For fair-skinned girls with delicate and sensitive skin, tanning in a bath with chamomile and string is ideal. These plants relieve irritation and help get rid of the unattractive blue tint typical of natural blondes.

Of course, you shouldn’t expect a noticeable effect just once. Be patient and maintain the results with regular procedures.

Tan from the inside: what to eat for a golden skin tone

The foods you eat play an important role in your skin tone. Pale skin is the result of a lack of the hormone melanin in the body. Ladies who want to maintain their natural paleness, exclude this list from your diet. The rest of you - take note.

1. Beef and pork liver are an accessible source of tyrosine, a substance that promotes increased production of an important hormone responsible for skin tone.
2. Carrots and pumpkin - these products contribute to the appearance of a quick tan, but it also quickly disappears after eliminating vegetables from the menu. To get instant results, drink juices, but keep in mind that too much carrot juice can result in an unsightly yellow tint.
3. Fresh apricots, their juice and dried apricots also help you get a tan, like oriental beauties. Include these healthy foods in your diet and don’t be afraid to look overly pale.
4. Eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible, and if this is not possible, take vitamin complexes. Lack of melanin often occurs due to a lack of vitamins in the body.
5. Natural soy products also help increase the amount of “tanning hormone”. Consume soybean oil and soybeans.
6. Fermented milk products, lard and milk play an important role - they will not help you get a tan, but they will charmingly relieve you from paleness.

Self-tanning: an achievement in the beauty industry

Taking into account the needs of millions of women and men, manufacturers have come up with a product that is surprising at first glance - self-tanning. However, for scientists there is nothing supernatural in it. There are two types of self-tanning available for sale:

1. Bronzers remain on the surface of the skin, creating a thin layer on it that gives a darker shade. These creams and gels last until the first shower or rain and can stain clothes. It is convenient to cover only open areas with such products, for example, legs or arms.
2. Auto-bronzates react with the upper layer of the epidermis, the skin reacts to the impact, as a result of which its shade changes - it becomes visually similar to a tan. This method is more durable, does not harm things and is not washed off.

Self-tanning does not harm your overall health and has virtually no contraindications, unlike solariums and natural sun. But, like any other cosmetic product, they can cause an allergic reaction. To avoid this, be sure to apply sunscreen to a small, inconspicuous area and observe the condition of the skin.

Recommendations for use:

1. To get the best results, be sure to take a warm shower with a scrub or a stiff washcloth before applying the toner. This will help cleanse the skin of dead particles and ensure an even coverage of the product and a uniform shade.
2. Self-tanning should be applied to all areas, not leaving out such little things as earlobes, inner surfaces of the arms, and the back of the neck.
3. Do not apply too much of the product to the front of the neck and the area at the roots of the hair on the forehead.
4. Avoid getting the product on your eyelids and under-eye area - then, if necessary, correct these areas with foundation.

For the bravest, there are pills and injections that change skin tone. They act on the production of melanin at the internal level. However, these methods have many contraindications and side effects. In many countries they are banned.

Girls, I know that solarium is very harmful. Self-tanning makes me yellow and striped. Tell me, who has tried instant tanning without the sun, they spray something on the skin. How long does it last, does it fade in spots? Thank you very much for your answers.

This is a regular self-tanner, you just apply it in the salon from the “shower”

Oh, I also just wanted to create a similar topic! I heard about an instant tanning system based on natural sugar cane. They say the tan is even and fades evenly. It costs about 1,500 rubles, the effect lasts for 2-3 weeks. I don't know if it's worth it.

I go to the solarium every year and have become friends with the girls who work there. It is not recommended to do this. The first 2-3 days it looks great. but it doesn't wash off smoothly. and after 2-3 weeks there will be no trace of it left.

Well, who said that solarium is “VERY HARMFUL”. If you sunbathe every day, then yes. And once a week with protective agents, and then even less often to maintain the effect - well, nothing will happen! I go once a month. Better than spraying chemicals on yourself...

A solarium is harmful if the lamps have not been changed, you have not applied cream, and your diet does not contain enough substances to moisturize the skin.
And so a moderate dose (everyone has their own) is even useful due to the lack of sun for office workers and finally city residents.
Only this moderate dose gives such a slight tan, and does not create the image of a dried out cracker in the oven.

I have a cousin who is an oncologist. If you want skin cancer, go to the solarium. It doesn’t depend on the lamps. Ultraviolet damage the structure of skin cells, and a “failure” of cell division may occur. This is how cancer is formed. Sorry for being off topic. I'll be waiting for the girls who tried instant tanning.

I wrote this is a regular self-tanner, and it lasts just as long

What kind of *** fashion is it to look like blacks.

I also heard that
firstly, the tan looks very unnatural, yellow.
secondly, the effect for 2-3 weeks is nonsense, it washes off very unevenly and after five days.

I did it and I still feel sorry for the money I paid for such a tan. It felt like I had smeared myself with a cheap self-tanner, there were dark spots between my toes, my legs had stripes... and it lasted for a great week, then it faded away in spots. It’s still a shame that this happened They cruelly diluted it to 280 gr. Although this is an experience... because... I’ve been wanting to try it myself for a long time. Now I know that they spray with regular liquid self-tanner, and for that kind of money too

Brown skin is already damaged skin. use protective equipment and no solariums, especially at a young age

I don’t understand this solarium at all, especially once a week, or even a month, as some people write here. Why don't you wash your face? Or is your skin naturally dark? I already have a natural tan, the one I had since the summer has washed off. And quickly enough - especially on the face. This means washing your face twice a day, toner daily and scrub once a week, the skin should be renewed. So it turns out that little remains of the tan. With this approach, you need to sunbathe 3 times a week, and this is already... read posts 6 and 11.

Once a week is even good for the skin. I’m 29, I don’t have a single wrinkle on my face, and I’ve been tanning for about 10 years. If my skin is prone to premature aging, it will age even without a solarium. Well, of course, if you sunbathe every day, what good is it? What if you listen to doctors in everything? You can get ready for the next world at 25))) Girls, remember, everything is useful, only in moderation.

Technology, thank God, has moved forward, tanning lotions have begun to be produced of better quality! I gave myself an instant tan, I look just super!) The tan looks very natural. As for melanoma, I’ll tell you this, 60 people per 100,000 people have malignant melanoma, the rest hope that it will pass them by)) So, choose for yourself.

What nonsense, sorry! Instant tanning, this is not self-tanning! This is a sugar cane extract. In good salons they make a high-quality tan, this starts from 2 thousand, they fade evenly if you use creams and moisturize the skin, and there are also rules, such as - be sure to scrub before the procedure (but again, in good salons they do it themselves ), do not wash afterwards with a hard washcloth or scrubs.
It disappears from the face faster and stays on the body for 2 weeks.
I can say for sure, don’t go to ART for tanning and tanning. RU! Many salons, like these, mix self-tanning powder with water, and then yellow skin color and spots. Go to good salons such as Bagheera, Aldo Coppola, Bresson. They do a high-quality tan there, it’s proven!

I called a specialist to my house, I really liked it! The tan appeared already when they did it, there were no spots, I was very happy, I decided to do it once every 10 days in the summer. For anyone interested, here is their website, I did it in the salon, the tan washed off the next day. For me It seems it all depends on the lotion.

Girls, I know that solarium is very harmful. Self-tanning makes me yellow and striped. Tell me, who has tried instant tanning without the sun, they spray something on the skin. How long does it last, does it fade in spots? Thank you very much for your answers.

WHAT IT HAPPENED TO, BUT IT DIDN’T FITNESS ME VERY MUCH. MY FACE IS STAINED. PLUS MY SKIN IS DRY, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN DRIER. I PAID NOT MUCH, BUT IT WAS WASHED LIKE AFTER A GARNIER SPRAY SELF-TANNING. HERE.

I also did an instant tan, it didn’t last more than a week, it came off in spots, I paid 1500 rubles. For that money I would have been better off buying a bunch of self-tanners.

Girls, I have a big problem. After giving birth, my whole stomach, thighs, buttocks are covered in stretch marks, it looks scary. Summer is coming, I have a lot of complexes. And I really want to go to the beach, etc. Who knows whether an instant tan will cover up all this disgrace. Or how can I remove all this?

I did reed tanning at home. I still feel sorry for wasted money! The skin after it is sticky, unpleasant, as if dirty. the color is not bad, BUT 1).the face did not tan at all, I had to touch it up with foundation. 2). on day 2 there were terrible dark streaks under my arms, although I do not suffer from excessive sweating. 3) on the legs the color was not even, but striped. In general, I didn’t like it, I don’t recommend it.

I did it before the wedding. They sprayed it on me, I walked around to dry for 8 hours, then I washed off the excess lotion in the shower and it turned out to be an even, beautiful shade, on the 2nd day my face and armpits turned white and this lotion clogged up in the pores on my neck, chest and shoulders; upon close examination, it was terrible, like acne. I didn’t scrub my body much, I wiped off the stains on my armpits with alcohol and more or less smoothed them out. And my palms were very dark; I rubbed them with a washcloth almost until they bled. To be honest, I was so complex. It seemed to me that I was like a yellow goblin, but strangely enough, everyone appreciated it, even my mother, who always doesn’t like everything, said that it’s normal not to wash anything off))) in the professional photo it turned out well, in ordinary cameras it looks like an ordinary tan. I won’t do it anymore because it’s a hassle, how will it go away, will it be spots, etc., at least before an important event for sure))))

I was going for an instant tan, but after reading YOUR girls’ comments, I immediately changed my mind, I’ll wait for the sun and summer until I look pale. THANKS TO ALL.

Bronzing, by the way, looks good if you choose the right shade. And it lasts about 2 weeks for sure, if you take care of your tan - constantly moisturize it with lotions (creams).

here is a good article on how to get a beautiful tan

Maybe I’m late to this discussion, but I came across an article some time ago - I tried it and it seems to have worked out well. The main thing is that there are no foreign odors and I’m sure it’s harmless. I don’t know how this works on blondes - I have fairly dark skin and there is a visible effect.

rave. bath with coffee.. reminds me of how I tried to dye my hair with coffee. Don’t even try, they write fairy tales. the color is disgusting.. and the coffee was expensive by the way.

about wrinkles - this is all bullshit, even 5-year-old children have wrinkles from sunbathing - this is protection of the skin from the sun, and not a sign of old skin. My mother has been sunbathing all her life - she is now 56, her face is beautiful and tanned, there are no particularly wrinkles, she looks better than pale. Multi-colored clothing goes well with tanning. For me, it’s better to be tanned than pale. But the tan should be natural.

In Moscow it is better to go to the NaBali studio. Luxury lotions and Italian equipment, super master and consultations, selection of lotions according to skin type. No stains or streaks. Make an appointment or consult - 8 (926) 705-78-67
