There Are Many Concerns About The Damage The Sun Can Do To Your Skin

With all the concerns about damaged skin many people have abandoned the tanning beds for a fake tan.  People can not seem to let go of the idea of being tan no matter what the cost to their bodies is; but by getting a fake tan you are ensuring that your tan is much more safe than laying out side for hours and baking in the sun or laying in a tanning bed and tanning for a few minutes.

Using self tanning or a spray on tan will allow your body to still have the golden bronze look of a tan but not give your skin the damaging affects of the sun and UV rays.  If you are using self tanning items then you may to use a bit of experimenting at first to become use to the different tanning items.  Some of them may leave you with a streaky look and others may not work as well.  You will just need to do some research and find out what ones are better for you than other products.  After a while you will find a self tanner that works perfectly for your body and for you needs.  Self tanners come in all styles of gel, lotions, powders, and moisturizers.  These products are all used to tint the skin and will allow that tanned look to be all over your body but with out all the negative affects.  The only bad thing about some of the sunless tanning products is that some may streak or rub off on clothing and stain the cloth.  Again you will need to use trial and error to see what products work best for you.

Another great way to get a fake tan would be to use a tanning spray booth.  These booths spray on the sunless tanning solution and give you an all over body tan in just a matter of seconds.  If you do not receive the color you want from the first application you can do several of them.  This kind of fake tan is quickly becoming the most popular way to tan both real and fake.  These fake tan spray beds are taking over the tanning industry and allowing many people to give their bodies a beautiful healthy glow and not damage their skin while looking good.

One word of advice that you should defiantly listen to is that if you have never used a certain kind of self tanner you should do a test spot.  Some people are highly allergic to the chemicals in the tanner and could break out in a rash.  It is better to break out in a rash on a small amount of your body than a horrible red and itchy rash over your entire body.  You would never want to leave your house until the rash was gone.  And how uncomfortable would that be.  It is defiantly best to do a small patch test some where on your body that is not visible.  If all works out ok then you may proceed with the rest of your body and use the tanning product.  Also if you change self tanning products for what ever reason be sure to do a new test for each new product.  Just because you are not allergic to one product does not necessarily mean that you are not allergic to another.

Using self tanners or a spray tan to achieve a fake tan is a much wiser decision than stepping into a tanning booth or laying out side in the sun.  A bit of natural sunlight is always good but most people abuse it and allow them selves to bake in the sun.  The dangers are too great and you are better off finding a way to get a fake tan.
