Why Sunless Tanning Is Definitely 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 bewildering array of products promising perfect results and a brown skin in no time at all. However, it may be difficult to find the tan lotion that will best work for the type of skin on which it will be used. There are many websites that provide expert advice and product reviews and these can prove to be very helpful. Many also offer discussion forums where consumers can share their experiences.

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.

Consumers can also approach a skin specialist to have their skin types analyzed. Based on the result they will be better able to buy a suitable product. This can be costly, but when the consequences of skin damage are considered, it may be a wise route to take. Many salons can also provide objective and valuable advice.

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.

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.

Sporting a tan is still fashionable but the price can be horrific. It is definitely better to rather opt for a lotion that will provide the desired effect indoors. Skin damage caused by the sun can often not be undone or if it can, only at great cost.
