How Sunless Tanning Lotion Can Help Prevent Serious Skin Disease

By Haywood Hunter


For many years an evenly tanned skin, golden brown and seemingly glowing with good health has been the personal desire of every fashion conscious person. However, the dangers of direct exposure to the sun have long been known and experts warn that too much of such exposure can lead to a host of health problems. Tanned skin remains fashionable, however. One solution is to rather opt for sunless tanning lotion.

There is certainly no shortage in products that promise or even guarantee a beautiful tan almost instantly. However, consumers should remember that products are developed for very specific skin types. To choose the best product it would be wise to do some online research first. There are many excellent websites dedicated to instant tan products. Most of them offer sound and sensible advice.

It is great to be able to access feedback from other consumers but such feedback should always be treated with at least a small dose of doubt. Excessively positive or negative feedback is always suspect. The best sources of advice and information will always be balanced, presenting both the good and the bad. It must also be kept in mind that a product that caused a very poor result for one person may actually be perfect for another.

The best course of action may be to seek advice from an expert. Many beauty specialists are trained in this subject and they can test the skin type of their clients before recommending a specific product. Dermatologists can also be a great help in choosing the product that will work best. Some high end magazines focusing on fashion and beauty may also be a rich source of valuable information.

Using cheaper brands may turn out to be a big mistake. Many of these products cause unexpected results. The color may be an unattractive shade of yellow or orange and in some cases the product can even cause damage to the skin. It is highly advisable to use only reputable brands. They are more expensive but they are unlikely to cause damage or embarrassment.

It is also vital to be aware of the fact that many of these products contain one or more allergens. The ingredients should be studied very carefully and if there is the slightest doubt the manufacturer or distributor should be contacted. Even with the very best products it is always a good idea to first test its effects on a small portion of the skin.

It is an unfortunate fact that numerous beauty products are still tested on animals. Responsible consumers will avoid using such products. Manufacturers should clearly state their policies regarding the testing of their products. Care should also be taken when disposing of empty containers or unused products. They can cause harm to the environment. The responsible route is to rinse empty containers before discarding them.

The potential harm that can be caused by direct exposure to the sun cannot be overemphasized. Sun worshippers are more likely to develop skin cancer. They age prematurely and they develop wrinkles at an early age. Many people nevertheless consider a tan to be attractive and a sign of good health. By using an instant tan product the harm caused by the sun can be avoided.
