Why use a tanning oil?

Obviously, the main reason why we decide to resort to a tanning product is more than intuitive, that is, we want to have golden, dark skin, without those hateful sun spots and without burning ourselves.

In fact, it is known that sunbathing without protection tends to stain the skin, often even in an irreversible way, and it is the same reason why even in tanning oils there is almost always a protection factor.

Before buying the ideal product to promote a correct and healthy tan for our skin, it is advisable to know what characteristics we must look for, especially as regards protection and the same type of skin we have. Let’s see how it works later.

What features should a good tanning oil have?

As we have already mentioned in the previous paragraph, a self-respecting tanning oil must also have a minimum of sun protection factor so that our skin does not suffer irreversible damage.

At the same time, given that the sun tends to dry out the skin, a good tanning oil should ensure that our skin is always properly hydrated.

By protecting our skin from damage caused by the sun’s rays, we also prevent the natural aging process and, precisely for this reason, it is important to choose the most suitable product for our skin type.

It would be nice to be able to tan quickly and easily, but sensitive skin needs specific products that respect it, and the same is true for oily skin, combination skin and so on.

For this reason, today we have decided to provide you with a real guide on the best products that we can find on the market and which allow us to tan in a healthy way, above all respecting our skin.

What are the best products that we find out there? How much do they cost?

We can find a wide range of tanning products on the market, but you must always keep in mind that the best products are not those that work miracles, but are those that protect your skin and make it more tanned without damaging it.

The tanning process will certainly be accelerated if we use tanning products, but as far as possible. Furthermore, we advise you not to pay too much attention to the price of the tanning oil that is right for you because, as you know, quality also has a cost.

As far as prices are concerned, before reviewing all the products we have chosen for you, we summarize the related costs below:

• Dermasol Solaire is a spray tan oil with a relatively low protection factor and is sold to the public at a cost of 19 euros;
• Vichy Ideal Soleil is also a tanning spray oil, but it has a higher sun protection factor than the previous one and costs 20.10 euros;
• Avene oil spray is a tanning oil for the body with a high sun protection factor, usually sold to the public at a cost of 23.90 euros.

Obviously, as happens with any other type of product, especially in the cosmetics sector, these tanning oils can also be sold with advantageous offers, especially based on the season in which we are.

Finally, before going to see in detail all the features that we need to know before buying these products, remember that these are tanning oils for the body, which should therefore not be applied to the face which has more delicate skin.

Dermasol Solaire Tanning Oil Spray: how does it work?

The first product we will tell you about today responds to the name of Dermasol Solaire and, as we mentioned above, it is a spray tanning oil for the body, with a rather low sun protection factor.

The low protection factor will allow you to tan quickly and intensely and, at the same time, with this tanning oil you can take advantage of the antioxidant and nourishing substances contained within it.

This product is suitable for those who already have tanned skin and among the various benefits that we can take advantage of by using it, we especially mention those mentioned below:

• The skin is protected and UVB and UVA rays do not damage it, thanks to the sun protection factor;
• The skin will be hydrated;
• The skin will be more elastic and toned, thanks to the nutrients contained in this tanning oil, such as vitamin A, vitamin E and sweet almond oil;
• It has an antioxidant effect, thanks to beta-carotene which counteracts the natural aging process;
• Contrasts the dryness of the skin, typical of the direct action of the sun’s rays;
• The tan is promoted in an intense, uniform but, at the same time, healthy way.

To make the most of this innovative and skin-friendly tanning product, we recommend applying it before going out in the sun, taking care to distribute it evenly.

If you decide to take a bath in water or freshen up in the shower, remember to repeat the application of the tanning oil to make the most of all its benefits.

Vichy Ideal Soleil Body Tanning: how does it work?

Vichy Ideal Soleil is another of the best tanning oils that we can find on the market and, compared to the product we talked about above, it has an average protection factor.

For this reason, Vichy Ideal Soleil is perfect for all those people who want to tan, peacefully exposing themselves to the sun and, at the same time, protect their skin.

In fact, Vichy Ideal Soleil has a sun protection factor of 20. This makes the product suitable even for those with more sensitive than normal skin, preventing the hateful burns which, in addition to not allowing us to tan evenly, also ruin our skin. skin, often irreversibly.

Among the most important benefits associated with this innovative product we especially mention those mentioned below:

• It is hypoallergenic, so even those with the most sensitive skin or those subject to particular allergies can use it;
• It prevents sunburns, and, together with them, also skin aging and other damages associated with UVB-UVA rays;
• It has a medium sun protection factor;
• It is water resistant;
• It does not contain parabens inside.

All this is made possible by the substances that compose it which, in addition to sunscreens, include Vichy thermal water , minerals and Mexoril XL, all beneficial ingredients for our skin.

More precisely, thermal water is used to counteract the dryness of the skin which often occurs after exposure to the sun. Thanks to it, the skin will be visibly more elastic, soft and velvety.

Mexoril XL, together with sunscreens and minerals, helps counteract the natural aging process brought about by the action of free radicals, thus counteracting the appearance of more or less deep spots and wrinkles .

Being a spray body oil, Vichy Ideal Soleil should be sprayed directly on the skin, paying attention to uniformity. Since it is a water resistant product we can also use it on wet skin and it is generally recommended to apply it at least half an hour before exposing yourself to the sun.

Avene Sun Oil for the Body: how does it work?

The last product to promote tanning that we will tell you about today was made by the famous cosmetic brand Avene. We are talking about Avene Oil Spray with high sun protection.

This sun oil is especially suitable for those with sensitive skin as it ensures broad spectrum UVB-UVA protection thanks to its SPF of 30 . In this way the skin will be soft and silky.

Among the major benefits of this product we certainly remember those mentioned below:

• Prevents rashes;
• It is hypoallergenic;
• Does not leave the skin greasy and/or sticky;
• Protects the skin from the sun;
• Promotes a rather uniform tan;
• Prevents photo-aging damage;
• It has an antioxidant action.

All this is made possible by the intelligent combination of ingredients of which this oil is made, these are active ingredients that respect our skin, also guaranteeing a homogeneous tan.

To make the most of this sun oil, we recommend applying it all over the body before going out in the sun and repeating the even application even after swimming.

Are there any contraindications or risks associated with these products?

Before buying one of the products we have talked about, or any other type of tanning oil , we advise you to make sure that these are products that are suitable for you, or rather, for your skin type.

In fact, in general, tanning oils are not recommended for those with a particularly fair complexion, or, in any case, sensitive to the sun’s rays, as they could suffer even serious damage.

Instead, they are indicated for those with tanned skin, or in any case a particularly dark complexion that tans easily. In any case, it would be advisable to use these products in moderation, following our advice:

• Avoid exposure to the sun during the hottest hours (usually from 12 to 16);
• Do not apply these products to children or infants;
• Remember to read the full ingredients list, especially if you are allergic or sensitive as you may experience allergic reactions from using the wrong product.

Last but not least, it is essential to consult a doctor or dermatologist before using tanning oils in the presence of specific conditions affecting our skin.
