Apart from sunless tanning creams, there are other sunless tanning supplies that provide us with a beautiful, glowing tan without the exposure from the blazing sun. There are sunless tanning gels, sprays, foams and towelettes. Since 1960s, sunless tanning supplies have come a long way. Their formulas have been perfected to minimize the irritations and defects. However, it is really difficult to choose among the many sunless tanning products in the market. Hopefully, this article will give you insights about each tanning method.

First sunless tanning method is the sunless tanning cream. Typically, the creams and gels dry longer than other tanning methods. This, however, is quite an advantage as it gives the self-tanning neophyte more time to lather the solution all over the body. Despite this fact, creams and gels are the simplest methods to use. All one has to do is to apply on the rough areas –hands, feet, and elbows- first and then to the other parts of the body. Always remember to apply the cream in gentle, circular motions. The crucial part in the self application of the tanning creams is the exfoliation. One should first rub off the dead skin cells to make the skin absorb much of the tanning solution. Also carefully choose the tone. Tanning creams give off the most natural fake tan so this is probably the best option for the newbies.

The second tanning method is the sunless tanning spray. Tanning sprays, when applied without another person's help, is very difficult to apply. During this instance, the tan will not be evenly applied to the body since there may be parts –such as the back and back of the knees- that are hard to reach. One disadvantage in sunless tanning spray is that these dry off quickly so one will not have time to even out the color. The sunless tanning spray is best used when applied by a professional at tanning salons. This way, there is someone who will be overseeing the tanning process. This, however, requires one to strip off the clothes so if one is not comfortable exposing one's body to a tanning professional, he or she should invest in underwear which he or she will use during the tanning sessions.

Third method is the self tanning foams and towelettes. These dry faster than creams and are easy to apply. Tanning towelette is the newest addition to the sunless tanning products. These work well for retouching.

Any sunless tanning methods are great as long as they are applied correctly. With the right method and technique, a sunless tan will look natural on your skin. Sunless tanning creams, in particular, are probably the best in the market. I personally recommend them. Nonetheless, it is always up to you to choose the best option. Be it a sunless tanning cream or gel, sunless tanning spray, foams, or towelette, any choice from these tanning methods is okay as long as one gets to avoid getting the risk of skin cancer from sun exposure.
