Can I Get a Tan that is Healthy?

Everyone wants to have a healthy glow, but as we have all learned in recent years, tanning either naturally or artificially can be dangerous. The Mayo Clinic is quick to point out that tanning beds are not safer than natural sunlight, but sunless tanners are safer. If you want to be tan, but you do not want to artificially age your skin, damage it or wrinkle it prematurely, you should consider sunless tanners. You will significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer if you avoid the sun. Always wear hats and other clothing when you are in direct sunlight. If you must get a tan, it should be a healthy one. Do not get a tan under the real sun. Do not get a tan in a tanning booth.

Over The Counter Sunless Spray On Tanners

There are numerous over the counter spray on sunless tanning products. Many products have been developed over the years that do not cause your skin to yellow. They have also perfected the uneven tones, so that is no longer a problem. Some products come in convenient spray bottles so you do not need to use your hand to spread the tanner.

The tanning products have gone up in price, but it is reflected in the quality. It will take you a while to get a tan over your entire body because some areas are not as convenient to reach as others. It is not the easiest way to get a tan and it does not last long

Professional Sunless Spray on Tans

If you want an all over even sunless spray on tan in a flash you may want to go to a professional. It will cost you more than the over the counter sunless tanning sprays, but it is done quickly and evenly. You will stand in a small chamber while the spray is sprayed evenly all over your body. It dries quickly and will last longer than the over the counter sunless spray on tans. It is an excellent way to get a tan and it will last.

Most tanning bed stores offer sunless spray on tans. It is the wave of the future as more and more people realize that tanning beds are dangerous, age the skin and contribute to the damage that can lead to cancer faster than tanning in the natural sun.

The Future Of Tanning

Some day science will make a product that allows the safe UVA rays through to our skin which gives the body Vitamin D and a tan. These rays can also cause sunburns in people that have fair skin or stay in the sun too long. As long as the UVB rays are blocked, the harmful rays that cause cancer and deep wrinkles will not get through to your skin. Science, we are waiting. Someday you will be able to get a tan safely under the real sun.
