What One Must Know About Sunless Tanning Verses A 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 creates a good skin tone without exposure to the sun. There are plenty of sunless tanning products available in beauty stores. These include sunless tanning creams, foams, sprays, gels, towelettes and lotions. Creams were the earliest on the market, while other products, like sprays and foams came later on. Improvements in the products have been made over the years, and new products have also been introduced.

It is not always easy to get a good tan from the sun. You need to expose your whole body for the right length of time, in order for the tan to develop, but also to avoid sunburn. People find sunless tanning products to be easier to use. On the product itself, are details of the ingredients used, and instructions for how it should be used. Always read this information, and if you feel it necessary, ask for a medical practitioner's advice on the sunless tanning product.

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.

The sun does not cost any money, but sunless tanning products do. A sunbed session is quite expensive, and not really recommended, as it can be just as harmful as the sun. Prepare to spend a little on a good product, but also feel rest assured that you are taking better care of your skin with sunless tanning methods.

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.
