There are several different kinds of tanning products that are available. Other than creams and lotions, there are sprays and gels that can be applied to the skin. Any of these products eliminate the harmful sun exposure to receive a tan. Individuals that like to remain tanned throughout the year are advised to use sunless tanning lotions.

Many of the self-tan lotions contain a chemical named dihydroxyacetone or DHA. This is an FDA-approved product that is applied to the skin. When the dead cells of the skin comes into contact with this compound, the amino acids within the skin cells react causing the skin tone to darken.

The newer tanning products do not rely on pigments of stains to darken the skin. These pigments often stain clothing and provide an artificial looking tan that is not very appealing. Many of the older products leave an orange hue to the skin but the new sunless tanning lotions offer more natural looking results.
