Sunless Tanning Is Much Better For Your Skin Than The Natural Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Sunless tanning can be defined as the use of chemicals on the skin's surface to create an effect similar to that of a natural tan, or a suntan. Sunless tanning is also known as a UV-free tan, a spray tan or a fake tan. Sunless tanning has been practiced since the 1960's when health experts discovered the possibility of contracting skin cancer from a natural tan, like those from sunbeds.

People have loved the sun ever since their existence, and still do. However, in light of the information that reveals the harmful effects of the sun, people have started to prefer sunless tanning methods. They are an artificial form of suntan, but are nonetheless considered as much safer than the sun. A natural tan could cause serious sunburn, which is extremely bad for the skin, and also causes other skin diseases.

Sunless tanning products are just as capable of creating an attractive skin color as the sun. Local beauty shops and online stores sell different types of sunless tanning products. Sunless tanning creams and lotions were most popular at first, and needed to be applied just like body lotion. However, now there are products in the form of gels, sprays and foams, which are convenient. The products are all formulated with care to ensure the best results are achieved.

The general take on sunless tanning products is that they are easier to handle and come readily available for people who may suffer adversely from long exposure to the sun. Users should follow advice on skincare to know whether or not their skin could react to such products. A doctor's advice and skincare tips should help achieve the best sunless tanning results.

Sunless tanning products are available by the dozen on the market, and sometimes people have difficulty in choosing a good one. It is wise to only buy sunless tanning products from reputable stores, and from people who know about how to use them. This way you can get some valuable information before your purchase.

Sunless tanning products can be applied in just minutes, and it will only take a couple of hours for your tan to start showing. They are much less hassle than finding the time to suntan. The products are also designed to take care of the skin. Remember though, that a little sun is good, as it provides the skin with vitamin D, and helps with certain skin conditions.

On a downside, sunless tanning can be negative economically, due to the high cost of buying and using the products. Still, sunlamps found in sunless tanning beds use UV rays that are similar to those produced by the sun, and can cause skin cancer. A natural tan can also cause premature aging of the skin if it is exposed for a long time to UV rays.

Dermatologists are wonderful people from which to seek information about sunless tanning products. They will be able to tell you if your skin will handle the product well. Try to also choose a product of higher quality, for the best results.
