Why Sunless Tanning Is Definitely Better Than Subjecting The Skin To UV Rays

By Haywood Hunter


The fact that the sun can cause a wide variety of health problems simply cannot be disputed. One of the main dangers is skin cancer, but premature aging is also a big problem. In addition, too much exposure to the sun can cause marks and spots on the skin. Sporting a beautiful tan remains high fashion however and many people brave the sun and fool themselves that they are wearing lotions to protect them against the harmful UV rays. It is much better to rater consider sunless tanning as an alternative.

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.

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.

Many beauty products contain allergens. Consumers should make sure that they are not allergic to any of the ingredients before they purchase the product. It may be best to ask advice at the salon selling the products or to contact the manufacturer for detailed information. New products should always be applied to a small area of skin to see if there are any adverse reactions. If there is, the product should be avoided.

It is a sad fact that many manufacturers and consumers still do not heed the needs of the environment. Nobody should ever purchase a product that has been tested on animals. If the product does not specifically state that no animal testing has been done, then that product should be shunned.

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.
