Why Sunless Tanning Is Certainly Safer Than Subjecting The Body To UV Rays

By Haywood Hunter


Most people have now got the message that too much exposure to sunlight can be harmful to their health. Skin cancer is one of the biggest dangers, but it is by no means the only concern. Exposure to the sun also leads to early aging as well as spots and other unsightly marks on the skin. The problem is that so many people with light skins still crave a tan. Sporting a golden brown hide remains fashionable. The answer is to rather consider sunless tanning.

There are numerous products aimed at providing an almost instant tan. It is important to find a product that is suitable to the skin type it will be used on. The internet can be a valuable resource in this regard. There are many sites dedicated to this topic. Some provide detailed reviews of some of the products and others even have discussion forums where users can ask help and advice.

The problem with looking for online advice is that such advice is not always balanced or even valid. That is why it is deemed prudent to ignore comments and advice that either totally discredits a specific product or that swears that a certain product is heaven sent. Because people have different skin types one person may well have a negative experience while another will be perfectly happy with the same product.

It may also be wise to peruse fashion magazines and other publications that specialize in consumer advice. Many publications review a variety of products and publish a comparative table of results. For the very best results, however, it would be best to ask a skin specialist to analyze the skin and to recommend products that will work best with that type of skin.

Most professional beauty therapists agree that it is a big mistake to purchase any cosmetics, including tan lotions that are produced by unknown manufacturers. Trying to save money by buying cheap and untested products can lead to bitter disappointment and very poor results. They can even cause extensive damage to the skin. The best advice is therefore to either buy the best possible product or to rater do without it altogether.

It is also vital to carefully study the ingredients of any beauty product. Many tan lotions contain allergens that can lead to skin irritation and discomfort. When unsure, it may be wise to contact the manufacturer directly for advice. It is always a good idea to test a new product on a small area of skin. If the skin reacts negatively the product should be discarded immediately.

Responsible consumers keep environmental issues in mind when they buy beauty products. It is truly advisable to avoid any products that have been tested on animals or produced by manufacturers that have a reputation for pollution. Many beauty products are harmful to the eco system and care should therefore be taken when disposing of empty containers or unused products.

There can be no doubt that the sun causes a variety of skin problems. Young people especially often ignore this fact but most of the negative effects cannot be undone when they manifest later on in life. If a brown or golden body is desired, it is certainly better to opt for lotions that will provide the desired effect artificially.
