Why Sunless Tanning Is Definitely Safer Than Exposing The Skin 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 is a myriad of products that promises a beautiful tan without the need to expose the body to the sun. Many consumers find it difficult to choose the product that will work best for them. It may be useful to visit a few of the many internet sites that provide advice on this topic. Some sites also publish detailed product reviews and many allow consumers to share their experiences with specific products.

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.

Beauty products are expensive and it is best to consider a tan lotion as a luxury. If a quality brand cannot be afforded it may be best to forget about the idea. Inferior products can produce disastrous results. The skin can be damaged and the resultant color can be awful, leading to bitter disappointment and embarrassment. By buying an inferior product consumers expose themselves to health risks best avoided in the first instance.

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.

In these modern and enlightened times consumers are more aware of the impact that their purchasing decisions has on the environment. Many lotions pose a danger to local eco systems and containers and unused products should always be disposed of safely and responsibly. Consumers should also refrain from buying lotions that have been tested on laboratory animals. Unscrupulous manufacturers still do not need the need for working in harmony with nature.

That the sun causes damage to the skin is a fact that nobody can repudiate. Many people only see the damage in later years, but then it is often too late to take action. If a tan is required, the best possible route is to get it without exposing the skin to the sun.
