The Good Sides Of Sunless Tanning

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.

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.

Time is often a problem when trying to get a natural tan, whereas sunless tanning methods are quick to use. The creams and lotions have hydrating properties as well, which help to moisturize the skin. Although the UV rays of the sun are harmful, the sun does provide a much needed source of vitamin D, and can also be beneficial for fungal 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.

Find out all you can about a sunless tanning product before buying it. You could also ask the opinion of a dermatologist. While we still need the sun, it is not recommended to expose your skin for long hours to Ultraviolet rays. Both unnatural and natural methods of tanning have their advantages and disadvantages.
