Why Sunless Tanning Is Definitely Safer Than Exposing The Body To The Sun

By Haywood Hunter


Despite the many warnings about just how dangerous prolonged exposure to the sun can be many people still crave a tan and they keep braving the dangerous UV rays to achieve this goal. Using lotions that protect the skin against the effects of the UV rays can only be partially effective. Skin cancer and a host of other skin conditions are often directly linked with exposure to the sun. Those that feel they simply must sport a tan will be better of considering sunless tanning lotions.

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.

Consumers should nevertheless be discerning when they obtain advice from other consumers. Advice and feedback that is extreme in either direction, either extremely positive or utterly negative, should be disregarded. It is best to heed advice that is objective and balanced. It is also important to remember that all products are not suitable for all types of skin. What works well for one person may produce disastrous results in another.

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.

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.

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.

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.
