Why Sunless Tanning Is Certainly Safer Than Subjecting The Skin 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 is a myriad of products that promises a beautiful tan without the need to expose the body to the sun. Many consumers find it difficult to choose the product that will work best for them. It may be useful to visit a few of the many internet sites that provide advice on this topic. Some sites also publish detailed product reviews and many allow consumers to share their experiences with specific products.

Great care should be taken when perusing online advice. A product may work well for one person but not for another. That is because most of the available products are developed for very specific skin types. Care should also be taken to avoid the sites of manufacturers because they will inevitably be biased and promotional in nature. It is best to seek independent advice.

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.

Beauty products are expensive and it is best to consider a tan lotion as a luxury. If a quality brand cannot be afforded it may be best to forget about the idea. Inferior products can produce disastrous results. The skin can be damaged and the resultant color can be awful, leading to bitter disappointment and embarrassment. By buying an inferior product consumers expose themselves to health risks best avoided in the first instance.

Even quality products may contain allergens and it is vital to check the ingredients of a product before buying it. Allergens can cause irritation and itching. If uncertain, the manufacturer should be contacted for more information. Most manufacturers advise consumers to test a new product on a small area of skin before using it. If any adverse reactions occur the product should be avoided.

In these modern and enlightened times consumers are more aware of the impact that their purchasing decisions has on the environment. Many lotions pose a danger to local eco systems and containers and unused products should always be disposed of safely and responsibly. Consumers should also refrain from buying lotions that have been tested on laboratory animals. Unscrupulous manufacturers still do not need the need for working in harmony with nature.

That the sun causes damage to the skin is a fact that nobody can repudiate. Many people only see the damage in later years, but then it is often too late to take action. If a tan is required, the best possible route is to get it without exposing the skin to the sun.
