Smart Girls Choose The Best Sunless Tanner For Their Skin

By Haywood Hunter


It seems quite laughable to us now when we look back on the 1980s and remember how so many of us were coating ourselves in baby oil, cooking grease, and anything else we could baste ourselves with for sunbathing. We have a whole new perspective on the dangers associated with sun exposure these days. We now know that we must protect our skin, and the importance of choosing the best sunless tanner is not lost on us.

Skin tone certainly dictates to a great extent what choices one might make. When one already has a darker tone, they are more likely to go for creams, gels, and lotions rather than a tanning bed. For them, it is all about protecting and moisturizing, as well as keeping their skin tone even, rather than obtaining a particular color or complexion which they may already possess.

Being adequately moisturized is important for the wind as well as the sun exposure. The autumn is a time when people often suffer chapped lips, cheeks, and hands when they are at the mercy of the wind. Those who love to snow ski also are intimately familiar with the fact that sun and wind are the primary culprits for dry, chapped, and burnt skin in the snow, although electric heaters can take partial credit for dehydrating the skin.

In addition to creams and gels, there are also spray-on solutions which are very popular with many women due to the even coverage provided by the sprayer. The downside of all these products, however, appears to be the resulting color coming out an orange or burnt umber rather than looking like a natural tan. It helps when one thoroughly exfoliates their skin prior to applying the tanning solution, as this allows the skin to absorb the product evenly.

There is some controversy regarding the safety of indoor tanning, due in large part to the perception that it is a safe alternative. The only thing one needs to do is take a close look at women and men who have been under the tanning bed lights for many years, and see how they have accelerated their aging. Tanning beds utilize the same rays as the sun, and therefore it can be just as dangerous.

In the aspect that one is better able to control their exposure, tanning beds may be more safe. However, some people will go too far with it, and the resultant burns are just as painful, and just as dangerous as anything one might get outside. The risk of falling asleep in the tanning bed is actually greater than the risk of falling asleep on the beach.

Many tanning beds come with a bell or alarm that is designed to wake the person inside at the designated time. In a tanning bed, fifteen minutes is like forty-five minutes in the sun. Most beds will only work in increments of 15 minutes, and most businesses which have a tanning bed available keep close eye on how long their patrons have been inside it.

It is such a glorious day in modern technology when one realizes that the union of coconut oil and bronzer has been achieved. This provides the skin with the perfect degree of all-natural moisturizing goodness, with the sun-protecting properties of a tanning lotion. For many, this product is exactly what the dermatologist ordered.
