Healthy Sun Tan By Sun Labs

By Haywood Hunter


Cosmetics has been formulated for thousands of years. Vanity concoction has either make or break what it wants to be enhanced. Until now, people still find better ways to become more beautiful. At Sun Labs, this pursuit began in 1983 as a family owned company. Looking at natural and safer alternatives for making skin care products has been the goal of this company.

It has been successful in addressing Caucasian age-long tanning problem. Using only safe and natural ingredients, it boasts of healthy alternative solution forgetting a much coveted darker bronze skin tone. It now has a product that could create even sun-tanned skin without the sun.

While it is healthy, too much sun causes many skin flaws like freckles, age spots, red rough patches, spider veins, wrinkles and makes it look dry, loose and leathery. This is because UV exposure disables self-healing and stops collagen production while depleting it. Collagen is the protein fiber that gives strength to the external structure of cells, and also gives cell its stuffing. This and keratin provides the skin with strength, flexibility, and resilience. Elastin production is also impaired. This is the elastic protein that makes tissues spring back to its original shape after being stretched.

Another effect would be aging. Although it is a natural process and everyone is not exempted to it, nature and nurture both play a part to make it happen. Because nature is dictated by genetic make-up, nurture is the only thing that can be manipulated. Nurture would either help it or delays it. Therefore, it is wise to be protected and to know what skin care products are beneficial and those that are harmful.

UV light does not only speed up aging, it also causes skin cancer that is common among Caucasians. This is a serious condition of abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells. Some symptoms of this disease are ulcers that is taking long to heal, discoloration of a certain area or patch, mole that has been deformed among others.

For a long time, light skin tone symbolizes aristocracy until the end of Victorian Era. It was in 1920 that the famous French fashion designer Coco Chanel got a sun burn travelling in some parts of France, who then got positive feedback for sporting the new tanned look. Meanwhile, a promising French singer who has caramel skin tone, by the name of Josephine Baker, soared to popularity. Her healthy dark tone was well appreciated and getting sun tan has become the new fad.

By 1940's, sun bathing was recommended as a good health practice. Bikini swimsuits became a fad that getting darker tones fast was what everybody wanted. Ironically, the previous fashion outlook had looked down on the darker skinned for hinting a lower working class that is frequently exposed to the outdoors.

Hollywood celebrities and professional tanning salons can now enjoy the offer of a healthy beautiful dark tone with the many effective products made available by Sun Labs. The most popular is their tinted self tanners. Other favorites are its handheld semi-professional sunless tanning equipment, and roll-on self tanners and many more.

For those who really love the sun, Sun Labs have products that take care of the skin exposed to UV lights like the Tan Moisturizer Maintainer. It is safe to apply its products as often as one wants, including the sun-less tanning formulas. All of them are made from all natural ingredients.
