Sunless tanning products can be a great alternative to the use of tanning beds. Though both methods of gaining a healthy sun soaked look have their critics, both also have their advantages, upheld staunchly by their defenders. While there is little doubt that over-exposure to the UV rays that are present in both natural sunlight and in the light emitted by tanning bed bulbs, many supporters of tanning claim that sensible tanning is not detrimental to skin health – there is, in fact, plenty of medical proof that sunlight, which provides our bodies with vitamin D, is a necessary factor in staying healthy. Arguments have been made also against sunless tanning products that claim the active ingredient in these products is harmful – in fact, this ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) has been approved by the FDA since the seventies.
Tanning beds – your second best option
Health issues are undoubtedly the most important considerations to be borne in mind when deciding how to tan, but assuming responsible behavior and a sun-safe awareness, there are still reasons why a sunless tanning lotion might be better than a tanning bed.
A sunless tanning product is the ideal solution for those who do not tan easily, or who burn in just a hint of sunlight – particularly as many of these products also contain sunscreen. In one easy step, people with pale skin can add color and protection by using these products.
While some of us might remain haunted by the bad old days when fake tans ended up on our clothes rather than our skin, we can rest assured that today’s products include the best in skin care developments. They are quick and easy to use, and unlike tanning booths can provide us with the tanned look we like in a matter of minutes. They are only temporary, so mistakes won’t last! And these products can be used as extensively as you wish – giving you an all over tan without the tan lines, or allowing you tan only selected body parts!
So whether you choose to ‘tan’ at home or in your salon’s hi-tech spray booth, you can be assured of a great look in a short time. So you can be bronzed and beautiful at short notice – sunless tan products are the height of ease and effectiveness.
